Even with it's many flaws, it makes a viewers hands and feet sweat profusely. The great cover art tells you exactly what to expect.
In my mind, the max that this kind of movie can attain is an 8/10. A movie where one is essentially stuck in one position for the majority of the film. The two that come to mind that did it best are '127 Hours' and 'The Shallows'.
Abundant issues arise from the lack of simple preparation for such a complex stunt. And then pretty much just the normal stuff that makes you call characters dumb or annoying in a movie like this. And that phone apparently has an eternal battery.
I had an early theory of taking out the red light so that it would be noticed and get replaced as soon as possible, but that didn't come to fruition. Thought it was a sure thing with what I believed to be a foreshadowing moment when they say it's there so planes don't hit the tower. Guess that would have been too easy.
The movie is also a case and point why I don't like social media "influencers".
