This thriller, the debut feature from Jon Stevenson - who not only wrote, produced and directed it, but was also the editor - does a lot of things well. Or almost well. But finally, not well enough.

New York Times
3.5 stars out of 4 -- RENT-A-PAL is transfixing whenever it walks that creative line between this simply being a video tape of unknown origin and it being a radical text -- a prerecorded broadcast from one disturbed man with a camera, sent out to others who project their own meaning onto it.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Despite is grim mood, it packs in some sharp satire about the self-help and dating industries along the way.

New York Times
Rating: 87/100 --
It's a cerebral movie-brat kind of film that makes a virtue of its shot-on-video flatness and privileges the performances of its principal actors, all of whom get a chance to shine.

Rating: B- --
A movie that has been made well on limited resources, with a strong cast. As a viewing experience, though, it is likely to leave many dissatisfied.

Wil Wheaton plays one of the scariest villains of the year in Jon Stevenson's brilliant Rent-A-Pal.
