Survival Game

With most horror stories being cookie cutter versions of each other, I found this a refreshing change. The countdown to "who dies next" and "how they die" kept me interested until the end. Great special effects and a different approach to "countdown" movies, I think you should give this one a chance!

This movie and a movie called Guardians are fascinating to me the Guardians being the superior movie. With as many streaming's services out there that are filled with mostly the same public domain horror and sci fi movies and with that I found an number of 50s and 60s Russian language sci fi movies dubbed in English some of these plot intact but several that the American distributor just made a plot to fit what went on the screen. These two movies (this movie and Guardians) with plot intact show a side of the Russia that is really different from those 50s gems and the side is without question a love note to capitalism no way around it full blow capitalism and considering we have a group of idiots that is basically a watered down communism that I think is comparable to people who tout the UKs healthcare system that as it's praised here is an absolute disaster they are trying to rid themselves of as we are implementing more and more nonsense. This movie is that kind of thing showing the word that capitalism is the only way a country prospers. The two bastions of who were willing to kill millions to preserve the people's movement Russia and China have more billionaires together then the rest of the world combined. This movie isn't insert the name of your favorite movie here but it's worth watching because of the stark contrast of what this country was and what it is now. It is entertaining at least if you look at it in the way I tried to frame it. At the very least it's trash sci fi which many people enjoy anyway.

I like the Concept but the rules are redicilous and the deaths are not necessary sadistic. Oh, I said the truth but face not necessary my biggest Fear death. Even a suicidal competitor wouldn't want to die this kind of death. I know what I'm talking about.

A beautiful film from the visual side, completely empty inside: the actors are like small children who play for the first time at a school play(doing a lot of bad grimaces and uses hard overplay). The plot, which seems to be an interesting idea, does not reveal it at all. Completely at all, because the whole game is not a discussion and a search for the mafia, but "I think the mafia is you. And I think the mafia is you. Ok"... The characters are corny measuring among themselves with their pretentious conceit and sharp jokes. And too much pathos from nowhere(It is workable only if other components of film made qualitatively). The rating on the site is absolutely justified. Unfortunately.

I bought the BluRay real cheap and did not know what to expect. I am a very critic when it comes to movies but as soon watchers start to complain about a movie being predictable I can assure you , these people can't even point out why a movie is NOT predictable ....They are so easily debunked . And the vast majority of movies are predictable and thus actually boring! Depends on old you are and how many movies one had seen also .

The graphics in this movie are great actually, I've seen hollywood 'blockbusters' with lesser graphics and no one was complaining about this in these movies

I suspect prejudice , that is all.

How the story begins indeed is strange, you get launched directly into 'the game', with a thin explanation during the movie , all the info is there , but you need to watch the movie instead of just 'looking ' at it. Was this done a bit different I would give this movie even a 7 out of 10 , satisfying movies for me always get a 6 and I seldom judge a movie into the 8 category.
