The whole concept is mind blowing and unravels really well without being predictable. The character body swapping is, imho, very well acted. Then ending had me laugh out loud. So; Its black and white but very well done and refreshing. Great watch

In the reminisce film noir, director Yedidya Gorsetman adds originality to the sci fi thriller genre with Empathy Inc. This sci fi thriller film introduces a creative style of storytelling. Gorsetman impressively conveys a story about future technology of Xtreme Virtual Reality. The tone dives deep into the experiences of body swapping that perpetuates irreversible conflicts. The film ultimately takes you through the life of the protagonist Joel played by Zack Robidas, a businessman investing endowed funds in exchange to start up an XVR business that later reveals concealed interred victims. Empathy Inc. gives a sense of morality and redemption that overlaps in an entanglement of unappealing consequences. The director's bold choice's pays off at the end making this film a modern-day sci fi gem.

This film was not only an exhilarating sci-fi thriller, but the exceptional work of sound designer Omri Anghel made Empathy Inc. stand out to me as one of the best thrillers I have seen in a long time. The film follows the protagonist Joel (Zack Robidas) who is investing in a virtual reality startup company that claims to provide a beneficial service, but things start to go awry when he uncovers the true use of the technology. Omri Anghel's expertise made everything from chilling screams to eerie silence extra startling, really establishing this film as a top tier thriller. Empathy Inc.'s use of creepy sound design definitely makes this film worth a watch.

It is good idea or topic, exactly the reason I was watching this. But gray color, acting, holes in the story, unsolved or unclear stuff makes it deserve no better rating. Not good to watch. No explanation. Unfinished. Just some random scifi stuff with bit of non-scifi stuff from real life, and few cool very small details such as witnessing crime. Not good enough. Like this is from 90s. Unexplained, unresolved.

Venture capitalist Joel is dealing with the end of his last company. He's had to be the scapegoat for the lies that his partner told and his name is known nationwide as a swindler. He and his actress wife Jessica have to start over from the bottom -- living with her parents. But when Joel's life is at his lowest, he discovers that he may be able to reinvent himself. Written by Mark Leidner and directed by Yedidya Gorsetman, this black and white tale of virtual reality gone wrong surprised me with how deep and brutal it could be. When Joel meets old friend Nicolaus and his business partner Lester, he learns about Empathy, Inc.'s product - Xtreme Virtual Reality. It takes its users and allows them to be inside the lives of the poor and homeless. But the truth is, they're actually taking over the lives of real people and the choices they make have deadly results. The line where one of the villains says, "It's the best feeling ever to CENSOR yourself?" That's crazy but brilliant writing. This raises some big ideas and delivers on them. I've never seen a body switch movie before where that happens.

I was very impressed with Empathy, Inc.'s creative writing; I specifically paid attention to the character development between the film's two main protagonists, Joel (Zack Robidas) and Jessica (Kathy Searle): a married couple against the world together. Their heart warming dynamic and loyalty to each other makes this "horror" film's storyline even more powerful. Even through all the conflicts they faced, in the end there was no question who their heart belonged to. I personally loved all the strong, emotional plot twists between these two characters. In my opinion, these two actors chemistry and dialogue makes this film iconic for pulling on an audience's heart strings. I would definitely recommend this film for a clever tie of romance and thriller!

Really enjoyed this film due them taking a new look at VR. Teh acting is good although the final part does get a bit mad for my liking but hey ho it worked. Well worth watching.

Lots of Black Mirror influences, interesting shot in b/w , with a bigger budget could be way better

Empathy, Inc. explores a world of corrupt technology that virtually places its user in someone else's body. Lester (Jay Klaitz) is the wicked man behind the curtain who developed this disturbing ability for a wealthy individual to ultimately determine the fate for the less fortunate. This characterization is significantly guided by the work of cinematographer Darin Quan, who masters his craft by implementing extreme close-up shots. He places the camera at such a short distance that you can see the beads of sweat forming on Lester's face, which creates a feeling of uneasiness and acts as a great vehicle for the film's tone. While fairly accustomed to the world of science fiction, Quan once again proves himself to be a creative genius and I highly recommend watching Empathy, Inc. so you can have the opportunity to witness his talent firsthand.

In Empathy Inc., an indie thriller gem, characters are not how they appear to be. While being multifaceted in their own right the actors take the next step when they take on the roles of other characters in the film. Zack Robidas, Kathy Searle, and Jay Klaitz are stellar at taking on multiple personalities and portraying not only their own characters but also each others'. Their skills were put to the test and it paid off with each actor dynamically changing between characters smartly and effectively. The acting done by these three are each stand-alone performances done well but put together are a masterpiece on screen. These performances are what got me to implore you to watch this film.
