The Occupant is a slow burn of a thriller that never catches fire. Looking to skewer the pursuit of perfection during late capitalism, it misses both its satiric targets and a sense of kitsch fun. Read full review

Movie Nation Roger Moore

When the slow burn is this slow coming to a boil, it’s a lot easier to just shrug and move on to a thriller that makes more sense. Read full review

The Occupant gets eyebrow-raisingly nasty without ever getting interesting. Read full review

The ways he goes about this are extremely calculated and horrifying to view from the beginning, and crescendo dramatically up until the ending. I couldn't help but mentally compare protagonist Javier to similar characters taking drastic premeditated measures to get what they want, and I like Javier for being a protagonist that gets things done quickly and efficiently (those who have seen the movie will know what he does when blackmail is taken too far). The film is a rollercoaster of conflicting emotions right up until the chilling final shot. And I completely disagree that it's unbelievable. I think every event in the movie makes perfect logical sense. And is also cool. So watch the movie if you want to see a man coldly tear his way to the top! (You should want to see that.)… Expand

The movie is made quite professionally but the script is too improbable.
Not too impressed.

Cansativo, poderia ter contado a história de maneira mais empolgante e realística, achei chato e forçado. Algumas pessoas o comparou com “parasita” que é excelente, infelizmente não chega nem perto.
