ActuallyGlimmer The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Micah Lloyd Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

JohnHowardReid Generally speaking I don't bother with movies that are released straight to DVD. The general standard is poor. But "Beeper" is the exception that proves the rule. Literally crammed with suspense, and produced on a lavish budget in stunning locations, "Beeper" is a first class thriller, featuring the most exciting chase sequence I've ever seen in a movie. Not only that, but the writer has also provided his players with solid characterizations and abrasive dialogue to match. Keitel and Grover have all the best lines and serve them up powerfully. Like many modern actors, Joey Lauren Adams has a tendency to mumble, but in this case it matches her lone-woman-in-a-man's-world. Director Jack Sholder has done wonders with his expansive budget, and the movie is most excitingly paced by film editor, Andy Horvitch.

userray2305 When Dr. Richard Avery's son is kidnapped while attending a professional convention in India, he must endure a 24 hour nightmare. Supplied with a beeper containing a text display through which instructions are sent, a desperate Avery is ordered on a wild and dangerous journey in a foreign land. This is the basic set up of Beeper, but get ready for a jet ride because Beeper is non stop thrills and action. Just think, what would you do if someone you loved was kidnapped? Scary as heck, but it happens all the time in foreign countries. And all people can do is hope and pray, unless you're brave like Dr. Avery. He's a kick ass hero! Check this film out!

moviebuff8 I think that last review was pretty harsh, although he/she did say it was just their opinion. While Beeper isn't a great movie, it did the two things that I beg of a movie: (1) I didn't know what was going to happen next, and (2) I WANTED to know what was going to happen next. I agree that Harvey Keitel seemed to be looking a little long in the tooth in this film. It was a low budget movie, so I place the bar accordingly. I also agree that the kid wasn't the best actor (to say the least). But I thought the story itself...which is most important to me...was solid and engaging. It also seemed to avoid cliches; thank you for that. I think this is the same guy who did "The Hidden", and while it's not as good as that classic, I have to say I really did enjoy "Beeper".

tripdady ...about what exactly it takes for a film to get made. This may be the worst picture I've ever seen. If you like poor acting, especially poor child acting, wait for this to make its TBS world premiere and set your VCR's. The film quality was horrendous as well. I kept thinking to myself, "So, when's Shannon Tweed's character gonna be introduced?" If you've got 6 bucks in your pocket, treat yourself to a good sandwich and count the days 'til that TBS premiere. I feel sorry for Harvey and Joey Lauren Adams, because I think they're solid actors. But even they couldn't save this from sinking into a bottomless pit. Just my opinion.
