The Playground

I found this indie thriller pleasantly satisfying, as it explored classic moral themes in a contemporary setting. It's depth and ability to challenge the audience elevate it from modern Hollywood fluff. Well shot and well structured, the individual stories weave together in a fulfilling way. Despite the runtime, it kept me engaged with it's compelling storylines.

The Playground interweaves numerous stories into one very well paced tale. This well shot and directed movie reveals exciting and engaging themes throughout. The Playground is exciting and leaves you thrilled in the end.

This movie kept me intrigued and really had me thinking. This is the type of movie that will stick with you as you make decisions throughout your life.

This movie is a series of morality plays that eventually come together as one story. As in all morality plays, the choices made, have consequences. It's a lengthy film and I feel as if the quality of the acting and writing was sacrificed. The acting and dialogue was wooden and and forced as if reading directly from cue cards. I didn't feel anything from or for the characters, just empty. There was so much potential here. I feel a better budgeting would have made this film as good as it should have been.

I have watched many of terrible B movies. Low budget bad acting but a ton of laughs. That is not this movie it is 2 and a half hours of long drawn out torture. If they filmed someone trying to get through this film that would be more entertaining. I have been in 2 accident 8 kidney stones and 3 back surgeries. This film tops all of those for causing me emotional distress. The film "Takes" old stories about the deal with the devil and tries to spin them to modern times. I have watched films do this fantastically on a shoe string budget. This film fails at everything it tries to do while making satan our antagonist look like a misunderstood teenager. I was stuck in my chair like any normal day for me so i thought id give it a shot. Worst decision I've made in a long time save yourself don't watch this film.
