best movie i've ever seen.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Poor Walter Woods (Rob Lowe) is having a horrible few days. He's almost run off the road by a truck driver. his hole in the wall apartment room has rats, his millionaire employer doesn't like his architect proposals, and there's a dead hooker in his bed among other things. Yup, Walter has seen better days, that's for sure. One of the writers, Patrik Ersgard, felt the need to act in the film as well and his character is pretty unbearable. But I guess he does fit in with the rest of the characters here, as the film practically reeks of awfulness. With the only tolerable one in the whole movie being Dean Stockwell, a man who should be above this kind of garbage.My Grade: D- Where I saw it: Showtime Extreme

I thought that the movie was well done and very suspenseful. Rob Lowe did a very good job in this movie, there was never a dull moment in this film. It is filled with twists and turns that kept me rivotted to my seat. I did not lose interest for one minute.

Even though LIVING IN PERIL has got a remarkable **swedish** feeling over it it S*U*C*K*S BIG TIME!It has got simularities to just-as-awful CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED like so many other movies throughout Hollywood's history. 1. Laughable horrors. Nobody ever thought that white headed children was frightening, nor rats.2. Stupid script, aka IDIOT-POLICE and A SILLY BAD-GUY.and the classic one3. ACTORS THAT ARE FUN TO WATCH JUST BECAUSE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO TAKE THEM SERIOUS!!!! Just take Rob Lowe and James Belushi! And I thought the mix with Christopher Reeve, Mark Hamill, and Kirstey Alley was fun!Otherwise we have great actors like Dean Stockwell and Earl Boen getting awfully thrown away.Allow be to bring out a 3/10

This is basically a movie about Rob Lowe being terrified of fictional rats that he believes crawl out of his toilet at night and urinate on his blueprints. I'm not kidding. Add to this an ex-East German with no brains whatsoever, an expensive prostitute, James Belushi (no less annoying than he was in About Last Night, also with Rob Lowe) and Al from Quantum Leap and you have the entire untalented cast. Okay, so one has to admit that they had _nothing_ with which to work, I'll agree to that. However, one also has to admit that if they read the script before agreeing to do the movie, then they're all _really_ desperate for money. Even Bull from Night Court shows up to sell Rob Lowe a gun. The only worthwhile thing about this movie occurs in the first five minutes when someone uses a two liter of Coca-Cola as a deadly weapon. I approved of that. The rest of the movie is boring, and utterly peril-less, not perilous.
