Uno Para Morir

I always find it a little hard to get fully immersed in dubbed films. The voices never matching the look of the character and being out of time with the lips can be quite distracting. It's not the movie's fault at all, I'm very appreciative they do it so we can enjoy films from all countries, but it certainly does detract just a little from the film. All the same, I had a pretty good time with 'Death's Roulette'.

This is my type of movie it should be pointed out. A contained mystery/thriller set mostly in one location. Sign me up. The film did what this type of film needs to do. It kept things moving at a good pace and made sure there was always more than enough going on to keep us interested.

The entire movie isn't one location however. We do get a suspense sequence near the end set in a giant maze that I thought was quite impressive. The maze itself looked incredible and all I could think was how much I'd like to run that maze myself.

A couple of twists along the way and a sense that any ending was on the cards all added up to quite a fun viewing experience. 7/10.

Here's The 4K Lowedown on "Death's Roulette" (NR - 2023 - Paramount+) Genre: Thriller/Revenge

My Score: 6.4 Cast=4 Acting=7 Plot=6 Ending=7 Story=5 Intense=7 Pace=7 Suspense=7 Revenge=8 Twist=6

Seven people are kidnapped and suddenly find themselves part of a deadly game.

"Rule #1...you must choose one of yourselves to die." This was pretty good, although very predictable...it was like the antagonist looked me right in the face from the jump. You could fly a plane through the holes in the story and the puzzles that looked great at first really didn't stack up. This Spanish film is better subtitled than dubbed due to the fact that the dialogue is wrong when dubbed. This is a ok watch if you have nothing better to watch and have Paramount+.

This was a really good production. The set was top notch. The cast did amazingly well. I don't think there was any one out of the main cast that wasn't exquisite. I am always particular bout overdubs so I usually prefer subtitles, but this was done very well so I enjoyed it.

The story was very creative. It has the whole Saw vibes initially with them waking up and being trapped in a house. But after awhile you realize what this is all about and the movie takes on a life of its own. The only issue for me was the last 20 min. It just didn't work for me. It felt rushed and I wasn't quite convinced when the whole big reveal happened.

But it was a good watch. I enjoyed it and would certainly recommend it.

Turns out pretty good escape room kinda movies, with a shock & twist at the end !

At first I thought what a lame poster, almost not watching it, but saw Manolo Cardona stars in it, so I eventually gave it a try.

Storylines/drama are interesting, good pace, the stories are explains well.

Don't expect much like Oscar worthy or anything, because this just B rated movie.

Just something to enjoy if you have free time to pass.

I love Manolo Cardona such a great actor, can't believe he's the one directed this movie ?

Pretty talented now he's a charming spanish actor too.

If you love movie like this genre go for it.

This new movie on Paramount+ is perfect to watch on a weekend night with your favorite person. A simple and well told story with twists and a common thread that hooks you to the television. It's nice to see the beginning of an actor as a director, Manolo Cardona has experience as a producer and now he dares to direct and had a great cast and a good choice of script in which he also contributed. It's not very bloody, but the story is quite twisted and makes you think at various times,"what would I do if I were in that situation?" The cast of actors each shine in their role, impressive how talented they are.
