Going Up?

About This Movie

Going Up? is an interesting piece that weaves together a few different narratives around this aging elevator. The atmosphere is quite gritty, giving a nod to noir with its sharp, tense moments. There's an assassin—definitely a morally ambiguous character—who's got a niece that adds a touch of innocence, which is a nice contrast. And then there's this elderly man who carries the weight of his past. The film's pacing, while a bit uneven at times, allows the tension to build slowly, which some might find refreshing. Practical effects are used effectively, grounding the film in realism. Performances are solid, especially the dynamics between the assassin and his niece. It’s not your typical adventure fare, but that’s what makes it stand out.
