Wow

I didnt expect it to be this bad. Where to begin?

Beware: this movie doesnt feature Kevin Spacey, it only features his VOICE. That's it, we dont get to see the man. What we do get to see is a B-movie actress who is (ofcourse) severely limited in portraying any true to life emotions and THAT IS A PROBLEM, because we get to see ONLY 1 THING and that is this terrible actress driving in her car all the time, talking to Kevin Spacey. What the what!?

Wow. I really had to gather myself after witnessing such a low point in movie making.

This movie undoubtedly is a failed copycat of a terrific other movie called "Locke" (2014) which has got a terrific acting performance (by Tom Hardy) and fabulous build up in suspense and drama, everything this movie is definitely lacking in...

Probably the worst film ever made

To say this film is bad doesn't really give justice to how bad it truly is. Some of the worst acting ever seen by the female lead in the film as well as the rest of the cast...even Kevin Spacey, who does NOT appear in the movie (yes, the film director and the marketing team really tried to mislead audiences here...) gives an extremely disappointing performance with his voice over. The plot is poor, flawed and boringly unoriginal. The dialogue is just the worst and most unnatural dialogue I've ever heard in a film, and a female lead clearly written by a man. It is so insulting to women and women filmmakers...Continuity does not exist - they couldn't even be bothered to use the same colour car for the final "car stunt" of the film when they blatantly used a different model and colour car. This is a film made purely to try and attach a "name" and boost the director and producers ego, suffice to say the only name they could attach is that of Hollywood actor with a tainted reputation, and even they could not get him to appear in the film but merely record his voice. It is baffling that this film director is even allowed to make films with so much unrecognised talent out there with actual original stories and actual real pure talent and passion for the craft. Watch this film at your own peril. Some films are so bad they become iconic, this is NOT one of them. It is a film that is so bad that it should be erased from the fact of the planet. Unless you're into films with bad acting, no storyline and awful writing - in that case, this is just for you.

Bad, mediocre, horrible, garbage, etc

Where to begin? Literally every aspect of CONTROL is bad and mediocre. How did anyone in their right mind decided to work and/or finance this movie? The script is stupid and non sensical. The acting is terrible, the actress is supposed to be home secretary but talks and behaves like trash. Kevin Spacey clearly did this out of desperation and because no other offers come to the disgraced sex offender. The cinematography is horrible. It was all shot inside a studio so it's the same 3 shots all the time. No editing whatsoever. If you want to watch a good contained movie, watch LOCKE or PHONE BOOTH. This is diarrhea.
