Too predictable

The woman who kept talking on the intercom spoiled it. If there were really an attack, no one would be there to help them. This had potential, but only if there was something going on to create more suspense.

Sense the ruse was revealed in the first act I hardly see how that matters.

I turned it off within eight minutes, so it matters to some people who do not want to waste their time.

You didn't miss too much as it was merely okay. But stopped watching for all the wrong reason. Then again I almost always finish what I start and that has wasted a great deal of my time - and allowed some real gems to develop.

To say this film was blindingly obvious and predictable is an understatement.

The doctor voice over talking about the patient to someone else
The suss/fake corporate name logo on the wall
The voice in the lift
All 3 leaving their appointments at exactly the same time.

And would the event have even happened if she didn't get on the lift as she nearly missed it?

Not to mention the EMP reportage on the iPhone with helicopters flying over Washington D.C., I can see how the iPhone could still operate as an elevator may work as a Faraday cage, but the helicopters, news broadcasting, cellular towers working/reception, communication with the elevator and the lights still on inside... huge fail.
