Escape Room

I can only guess they didn't have enough money to shoot everything in the script as it felt like watching one of these kind of films with a dozen or so scenes edited out.

The production values, photography and sets were pretty good for this but largely it seemed the writing let this film down.

I watched all the way through expecting a plot of some kind to develop but it never really did.

Early on a character is introduced and a big thing is made of them leaving, we never see or hear from them again, okay a red herring perhaps, but what spend five minutes of the film on it. Things go along pretty much in this fashion until the end credits.

The puzzles were mostly not very puzzle like and the fact that the characters guessed and solved what some of them were at all didn't seem very realistic at all other than it being the only way to move the film along.

The ending left several loose ends and was ultimately completely unfulfilling.

Like everyone else said before..

Ok trailer. Interesting story line "Four friends test their intelligence in a game that takes a dark turn." Starts out with a nonsense scene, then comes the actual opening title which is VERY BORING and EVEN MORE BORING. Then comes the actual story which starts out ok.. Not good but ok and a little later everything goes total crazy, pointles and nonsense.

Really. One of the worst movies I've ever seen. The acting was ok. Everything else was basicly ok. But that script. Dude. That script is a nightmare. It is like almost the worst ever. How can they pay for it? But for real? I can't really think that anybody actually read the script before shooting.

And when they realized what a piece of ***** it was it was already too late.

In a parallel world, Jigsaw has a brother, but sadly he was none too bright, and instead of coming up with a plan to punish, he has half an idea, it's not a bad concept, but it's obscured by ideas elsewhere, and poorly executed.

The idea is actually rather good, but it simply fails to satisfy on so many levels. First of all, I didn't really like any of the characters, so to be honest I couldn't care less when their numbers started dwindling. Many of the threads simply didn't hang together, it was almost all utterly nonsensical, so hard to believe in about 90% of what was going on.

The masked figure waiting in the wings...is lame!!!! It's so overdone it's unreal.

Nice ideas, but too flawed. 3/10

Horrendous characters can't die quick enough in this awfully scripted and delivered mess.

In LA, a group of friends has gathered to celebrate Tyler's birthday. His girlfriend Christen Wills has six tickets to an escape room.

These are the unappealing beautiful people. Their dialogue is boring. They are boring. The movie spends 20 minutes at a boring unnecessary dinner party. The first half is nothing but boring. It's not until somebody dies that the escape room gets a little tense. It just takes too long to kill somebody. The only actor I remember from something else is Elisabeth Hower and she's stuck in a cage for most of this even if she's naked. These characters are nothing. This might work if it gets to the killing faster. The ending could have gotten a final twist but it even does that wrong. The escape room is fun for about 15 minutes but that's it for this movie.
