Alex F @AlexFinch Apr 26, 2026 It’s not about giving you characters to root for or a nice neat storyline wrapped up in a bow with good guys and bad guys, it’s about showing people and society as they are from the eyes of a disillusioned but observant viewer. This movie isn’t going to point and say "this guy is Villain, see how evil and irredeemable he is? And this is Superman, he’s pure goodness personified!" People are beautiful but cruel, evil but honorable, they’re not great but they’re all human and don’t fit into nice little single-beat archetype boxes, and I guess most reviewers don’t want to grapple with that. The main character is a Holden Caulfield for people who outgrew The Catcher In The Rye years ago, the cinematography and soundtrack are amazing, and this movie is just straight-up underrated.

It's bad, mm'k? See more Justin W @RT37619642 May 23, 2019 Wow, this was so bad. With what could have been a good premise was filled with awful characters, inappropriate music, anticlimactic in so many ways, absolutely terrible pretentious and pointless voiceovers, No feeling of suspense or empathy of any of it's characters at all. How they managed to get so many big named actors involved in this garbage is beyond comprehension.

The movie has no sense, sometimes it's confusing and VERY weird. I gave to Mall 3 stars because of the photography, THE SOUNDTRACK (OMG I'M IN LOVE WITH THE SONGS AND LINKIN PARK ARE AMAZING), and maaayyybe Cameron Monaghan. See more Jun 15, 2015 Joseph Hahn is best known as a musician with the band Linkin Park, and after directing a ton of music videos, he decided to give movies a shot. His first film, Mall, is kind of like a car wreck on the side of the road, in that it's horrible, but for some reason you can't look away. It's a seemingly normal day at a normal mall, and five friends are just hanging out, looking for something to do. Everything is pretty normal until a strung out shooter opens fire, but instead of fleeing, the teens decide to hang out and interact with people caught in the aftermath. This is one really strange movie, and as I said earlier, it's pretty bad, but for some reason I couldn't tear myself away from it. Shameless's Cameron Monaghan stars and was really fun to watch. I've always been a fan of his work and find his character, Ian, to be the most interesting one on Shameless. Mall is a different role and different character, but Monaghan is still able to bring that same charisma to the role and made this film somewhat more enjoyable for me. He really has a gift, at the turn of a switch this kid can go from sweet, to sexy, to evil, thanks to a very unique talent and you heard it hear first, this kid is going places. That being said, I tend to think he would be wise to leave this film off his demo reel, as it is just super strange and anti-climatic. Once you start watching Mall, you won't be able to stop. You'll see a great performance by Cameron Monaghan, while you sit and wait for any number of things to happen, that never do, making the film Mall just another confusing, artistic, independent film, that is really only fully understood by the person who wrote it.
