200 Degrees

This movie is not a waste of time but can't win bronze medal either. Starts like it might be a new taste in "kidnepped and will be tortured till we finally learn why" movie, then it ends like a really bad theatre scene played by their family members.

The end is way beyond bad. And the end throws the rest of the movie in to a trash bin. But! But it would make a great phone and phone network advertisement. I would definitely buy that phone. Damn.

Be prepared to spend 90 minutes on the edge of your seat. With excellent production, great casting, and a clever but nerve-wrecking plot, 200 Degrees will have you biting your nails on pins and needles. This thriller is chock full of suspense with twists and turns you will NEVER see coming. Balfour and Cochell give excellent deliveries that will have you anxiously sweating bullets and really feeling the heat.

"200 Degrees" delivers a premise with potential: a man trapped in a kiln-like room, facing rising temperatures and moral dilemmas. Unfortunately, while the concept is intriguing, the execution leaves much to be desired.

The tension never quite reaches a satisfying peak. The acting, while adequate, struggles against a script filled with predictable twists and lackluster dialogue. Eric Balfour does his best to carry the film, but his performance feels constrained by the limited scope of the story.

Visually, the movie makes good use of its confined setting, but the pacing falters, often making the 91-minute runtime feel longer than it should. The psychological aspects are underdeveloped, leaving the viewer disconnected from the protagonist's plight.

While "200 Degrees" has moments of suspense, it never fully capitalizes on its premise, resulting in a thriller that feels more tepid than scalding. It's watchable, but not particularly memorable.

Anyone else bothered that he didn't try to call 911 right away? it's just ridiculous that he has a phone but doesn't use it at all.

I found the premise of this film interesting but the execution of such could have been better. One cast film are always pretty good and the location here was also good. An industrial kiln that has been specifically created by the villain. In this we have ryan, who wakes up in an industrial kiln with no idea how it happened. A creepy voice very reminicent of saw comes on and wants him to do different things in order for him to be released otherwise the heat will be turned up. I liked this film it was not awful. But what I can't get past is how inacurate the logic is as this guy seems to touch evertthing without burning, but its a decent thriller still overall.
