I'm a bit surprised at the number of one-star reviews for this film. "Bad acting," "Dumb script," etc. I actually thought this was the time of storyline that Rod Serling would have written for a Twilight Zone episode and certainly intriguing enough to hold my attention throughout. The story centers on the husband and wife whose relationship is now in ruins. The other characters suffer from lack of development. I'm wondering if some viewers watched this film in the dubbed version -- where the English speaking dubbers are indeed bad and the translations awkward. I watched the subtitled version and I so no problems at all with the acting. Certainly the basic plot arc is not original -- it is similar to films like Saw, Escape Room, Cube and even Poseidon Adventure: characters must work together in order to escape and survive. But I found the film atmospheric and engaging. Granted the whole creation of the impenetrable wall and what has caused it is far fetched, but so what. There is also in interesting visual correlative throw in -- the fly. I wish there had been more visual moments like this, but just sit back and enjoy a "Twilight Zone" style story.

One would assume that the very premise is to satirized real-life social media moguls such as Mark Zuckerberg and his ilk. These characters are so dislikable from the get-go that the movie becomes extremely painful to watch from the get-go. They are obsessed with their wealth and have no moral values whatsoever. About halfway through the film, the plot dissolves into silly slapstick as these morons lamely attempt to kill one of their friends. I was both board and irritated by this film. Also, what a capital waste of talent. After watching these amoral characters behave selfishly and foolishly for nearly two hours while millions suffer and die around the world could only have been moderately satisfying if they had all met with an untimely end!
