What to Know

Critics Consensus

Profile's unique narrative gimmick is enough to carry the film partway, but it's ultimately overwhelmed by an increasingly ludicrous plot.

Simran Hans Observer (UK) The ratcheting tension is sadly punctured by unintentionally hilarious scenes... Rated: 2/5 Aug 8, 2021 Full Review Claudia Puig FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) I got caught up in it. I think it's a gimmick in many ways... but it works in this format, and it's kind of compelling. May 21, 2021 Full Review Amy Nicholson FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles) It really pulled me in. I was into this film. May 21, 2021 Full Review Elisa Guimarães Collider Profile scares us by simply recognizing that the internet is made of millions of people, some of whom don’t have the best of intentions. Feb 1, 2024 Full Review Zach Pope Zach Pope Reviews A Scary must see thriller Jul 26, 2023 Full Review Dan Bayer Next Best Picture The biggest key to the film's success is that creeping around the edges of the exploitation thriller is a sly comment on our increasingly digital lives... It's a devious move, one that feels just right for a film this diabolically slick and well-crafted. Rated: 7/10 May 10, 2022 Full Review Read all reviews

James P trailers are miss leading but still was a good movie Rated 4 out of 5 stars 07/02/21 Full Review Rachel This was so fun to watch, had me and my friend at the edge of our seats! Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/01/21 Full Review Thomas N Not enough activity. i.e. actors moving around. Too much computer stuff.. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/30/21 Full Review Adilene Based on a true story. Highly recommended Rated 4 out of 5 stars 05/26/21 Full Review NICOLE I was anxious through most of the movie. The acting was great and the computer story was fast paced. The scenes of people about to be killed in this true story was heartbreaking. Overall this is one story that will keep your interest. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 05/25/21 Full Review Thomas B Just a mediocre movie. Save your money and wait for it to come out on tv Rated 2 out of 5 stars 05/24/21 Full Review Read all reviews
