merklekranz Better than you might expect from a low budget thriller. The cast, Armand Assante, Nick Cornish, and Laurie Foster, give good performances. Initially the script is fine, as the story unfolds of a mall security guard who tries to control everyone who works there. His strong arming and blackmail puts a certain edge on the film that is always present. If the script had not been altered to inject a hardly developed horror element, the film would have benefited. There simply is too much left unexplained relating to the mannequins and the missing persons. Finally, the let's leave room for a sequel ending, seems totally out of place. "Surveillance" is very watchable, but could have been better. - MERK

innocuous when the first few scenes show video surveillance cameras mounted to the walls without any coaxial cables or power connected to the cameras. Similarly, the cameras are all monochrome (black & white) instead of color, even though the security office uses nice flat-screen monitors. (Yes, I'm in the business.) I have to agree, too, with the other reviewers who have pointed out that not many corporations hire people with criminal records specifically for their own security operations.This is a very over-the-top movie, with some suspense thrown into the mix, but it is just totally unbelievable. I think it might actually make a nice subject for MST3K.

pkpera I found it in DVD rental, and took it in lack of better promises. It started interesting, and was good until some 60%. But ending is very disappointing. Nothing is explained, dead bodies just appear everywhere... It looks that producer(s) ran out of money (or ideas?). There were some minor clues to explain Assante's characters behavior, but all it was not enough for build story (and of course character). Even romantic relation between rookie and blondie was interrupted - just like that :( With better ending it could be solid thriller.Acting was good for this level of production. Watch it only if appears on TV.

mburns22 This is an amazing film... i would pay to own this movie!! It is a thriller that will have you glued to your chair until the last minute! I believe that the acting by Armand Assante was fabulous. It was his best performance since "The Mambo Kings." Nick Cornish, a new inspiring actor did an excellent job. The filmography is unbelievable. The director, Mr. Fritz Kiersh is a professional. I LOVE THIS MOVIE! I hope that everyone who reads this comment will see Surviellance... you'll regret not seeing it! I know that all of you will enjoy it! I LOVE THIS MOVIE I LOVE THIS MOVIE I LOVE THIS MOVIE I LOVE THIS MOVIE!
