    Could have been better

    I had been dying to see this movie, mainly because I'm a huge fan Of Nick Cornish and I wasn't disappointed with his role at all. My gripe was with Armand Assante. I could barely understand a word he said! But overall, I think the movie lacked several things. It could have been great. It needed more scare factor, a little more romance. I little more of the nasty stuff. Just a little more of everything, I guess. Still, it was watchable. The acting was good, other than Assante's dialogue. His fellow Americans probably didn't find it an issue, but being a Brit, found it really hard going. Managed to get this movie on DVD (all be it Region 1. Technology, a wonderful thing ;))

    Fantastic work!

    Enjoyed this film 100%. Not only was it dramatic, from blackmail, to murder. (Armand Assante) played a really great bad guy,(Harley). The setting of the movie took place during the holiday season, which is a beautiful time to fall in love. And that set the stage for the wonderful romance that developed between Dennis (Nick Cornish), and Claire (Laurie Fortier). Amist all the drama unfolding at this department store, being terrorized by this creepy loss prevention supervisor that would stop at nothing, and their very lives at stake, they turned to each other and worked as a team. Hope to see these actors a lot more in the near future. Didn't know of this movie until I just happened to catch it on a cable TV channel, but turned out to be a very nice find. Not to be confused with several other movies with the same name, the plot and setting was very strong in this film. and the ending didn't disappoint. Wonderful acting and script writing. Kudos to writer (David Golden), and director (Fritz Kiersch). This movie hit its mark..

    Too many questions without answers

    Does one security guard with an assistant cover an entire mall, including every department store, and payroll, and computer security? Seems like a stretch. Nick Cornish was great, but casting a 30 year old to play a college student is pushing it. Speaking of 30-something, would 32-year old Laurie Foster be the acting manager of the entire mall? Okay, I can look past those scenarios. But what's up with the horror scenes? There is never any finality to the scene with the living mannequin. What happens to the bodies of the tortured victims? Finally, how does someone grow their hair that long in such a hurry (maybe a wig)? Entertaining, but needed some closure.

    Tough to take seriously...

    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.

    This is an awesome movie!

    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!
