For five men (Karl Urban, James Marsden, Wentworth Miller, Eric Stonestreet, Matthias Schoenaerts), the opportunity to share a penthouse in the city -- in which to carry on extramarital affairs -- is a dream come true, until the dead body of an unknown woman turns up. Realizing that her killer must be one of their group, the men are gripped by paranoia as each one suspects another. Friendships are tested, loyalties are questioned, and marriages crumble while fear and suspicion run rampant.

Critics Consensus

Populated with characters as unpleasant as its sleazy storyline, The Loft is uninhabitable for all but the least demanding erotic thriller fans.

Erotic thrillers are a time-tested genre, but this effort, scripted by Wesley Strick, is neither erotic nor thrilling.

This new iteration proves such a dour hodgepodge of bad behavior, bald-faced misogyny and ping-ponging alliances, it's more alienating than alluring.

C-

The Loft is a film that can't decide what it wants. It's a male fantasy, and a cautionary tale. It's sleazy in concept, and timid in execution. It punishes its protagonists for their transgressions, then lets them off the hook.

2/5

The characters are so unlikeable that viewers will be rooting for them all to get their just desserts.

Unfortunately, its ridiculousness and the in-your-face sleaze factor doesn't leave the viewer feeling anything.

This plot has more holes than a slice of baby Swiss.

A little too distorted to be believable with all the revelations at the end. It was not awful but the scriptwriter should have controlled himself.

Poorly written, poorly acted, poorly directed; how much less could you want in a movie?

It’s awful. And what’s kind of strange is that it has a lot of good actors that have made their Mark before and since. Just goes to show how important it is to have a good script and a good director

This movie was not bad for a casual watch. The Cgi is noticeably terrible and first half is rather boring. The movie doesn’t really make you feel tensed or stressed throughout it to call itself a thriller. I didn’t hate watching it but i probably wouldn’t recommend to anyone
