Escape: Puzzle of Fear

This is one of those films that has absolutely no redeeming qualities whatsoever from a terrible story, poor acting, bad camerawork, no thrills and dreadful editing; It should never have been made it really is that cringeworthy!

It was so bad I nearly fell asleep and that is a rare thing so avoid this one at all costs or you really will waste an hour and a half of your precious time, watching a slow puncture is more interesting than this bucket of nonsense!

This movie was bad. Why did I give it two stars instead of one star? One star for each of the main female protagonists doing nude scenes. Outside of that, there is nothing to gain from watching this movie. I understand what the screenwriters were going for but they failed miserably. The way the flashback sequences take place leave the viewer very confused and the acting is downright comical. The plot itself had promise but was nothing but a huge letdown. The ending was stupid in itself as it is very predictable (you'll guess it within the first five minutes) and the storyline must follow the dumbest crew of people as you will be bewildered wondering how they could not see it all coming. It is a long story of revenge being a dish best served cold but the revenge served in this film is nothing short of a frozen steak you'll need to put on your head after watching this because of the headache it will give you. No replay value, no memorable quotes or scenes, and you'll be ashamed to see Omar Gooding in this movie after he had such a decent career filled with potential to where it will make you wonder how much he was paid for his role in this film.

Overall, this is a rather tepid attempt at an escape room film as it is coupled with some revenge plot (that isn't too difficult to decipher). But, otherwise it has several annoying and unlikeable characters so I guess it is trying to set up a satisfying end of the film. Boy, it doesn't do it very well.

Okay this movie began okay with an interesting premise. But in the middle it decayed into one ridiculous nonsensical crud fest. I couldn't take anymore and turned it off with 14 minutes left. Horrible. 1/10

This was a good movie with decent premise. 30 minutes in I almost wanted to turn the movie off. Not cause of the movie, but the lead actor is deplorable. Horrible acting and trying WAY too hard. If he wasn't the lead I would've given the 6/10 stars
