Watch Penthouse North For Free

That was an excellent one.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

we couldn't even finish this as it was ridiculous from the get-go. UM. you're in an apt bldg - maybe scream or something? I love love love Michael Keaton but he seemed very fake and uninterested and it was "everything that could go wrong" could type thing..Sorry, a waste of the 30mn we forced ourselves to sit through.

After being rendered blind by a suicide bomber, one time war photographer Sara (Michelle Monaghan), finds love with Ryan (Andrew Walker). But one day her life is once again turned upside down when she is terrorised in her own home...Distinctly mundane thriller that harks back to other blind women under threat thrillers released previously. Penthouse North (the swanky place where Sara lives with Ryan) brings absolutely nothing new to the formula, not even - in fact - adding a twist or any sort of surprises. It's interesting to take on board the advancements in technology for the blind, though even this aspect is short changed in the run-of-the-mill plot. The villains are a couple of staple writing jobs, with Michael Keaton as Chad phoning it in, while the attempts to make Chad extra nasty are laughably lazy and irresponsible into the bargain.Monaghan's performance is commendable, she does enough to have you rooting for her whilst enjoying her resourcefulness, and the cinematography (Chris Seager) is most pleasing, both in colour lenses and glorious city scapes. But ultimately, one can forgive implausibilities in a thriller of this type, but not lazy unadventurousness that smacks of film making to fulfil a contract or even as a tax write off job. 4/10

The storyline in "Penthouse North" was fairly generic and predictable, but it still made for an entertaining enough movie. However, it is not the type of movie that you watch more than once.The story is about a war photographer by the name of Sara, who loses her eyesight while on assignment. Years later, living a reclusive life with her boyfriend, Sara comes home to find her boyfriend murdered and the killer still in the apartment.Story-wise then "Penthouse North" wasn't particularly innovative or outstanding, but it was entertaining enough for what it turned out to be. It was adequately paced, but didn't really have many 'edge-of-your-seat' moments, which a good thriller should have.What made the movie watchable was the acting performances of Michelle Monaghan and Michael Keaton.There are far better and exciting thrillers available, but "Penthouse North" is still worth giving a chance. Who knows, it might just be what you have been looking for.

Michael Keaton back in action. Though he's not the protagonist (that is the lovely Michelle Monaghan), he relishes in his role. Seeing him, makes you want to have more of him. And on the big screen. Even his latest output (Robocop - 2014) sees him being one of the best things in there. He has that special charisma.But back to the thriller at hand. A movie that tries to be clever and tries to lure the viewer with a few things. One of them being the back story of our lead. Her back story and another back story lead us straight to the current events of the movie. Though it is pretty solid, the movie never really gives us anything to root for. Even the ending is nothing that should be really surprising.
