Murder Bury Win

Great FUN ..., great Acting!!!! This movie is going far. I look forward to more from the writer/director and the cast.

This film is about three friends who invent a murder themed board game and then after an accidental death, try and use the game to cover it up.

The film is really slow to get going and then doesn't seem to go anywhere. The film also doesn't seem to know if it wants to be funny, serious, gory or what.

I have up half way through and that was quite a challenge.

Murder Bury Win is an indie film about 3 friends trying to secure funding for a fictional murder mystery board game (similar to that of Clue) the three created. When trouble strikes, the friends must use their own board game to get themselves out of their real life murder mystery scenario.

Overall this film is competently made but in the end suffers from a weak script that lacks pacing and direction which ends up in a mediocre affair. The characters fail to connect and their predicament becomes far too predicable as the film slowly chugs along.

What starts off as a seeming comedy, never seems to find its comedic legs. What is intended as humor never quite lands. As the film progresses it seems to want to change gears into other genres but like the comedy, can't seem to decide where it wants to go and never gets there.

Overall the film has one beat and never seems to move from that place. Even when the plot is supposed to pick up, the film never really gets interesting. If I had to sum it up in a single word, it would be "boring".

This is a pretty goofy comedy, but they're light on content and the story is nonsense. I'm surprised and suspicious at the high ratings that appeared almost immediately after release.

Overall they just didn't do enough interesting stuff, and I couldn't suspend my disbelief for how silly some of the story was. The premise is good, and they have a few good scenes, but they wasted tons of time on what felt like filler and they didn't spend enough time on the stuff that should be funny/interesting regarding the premise.

Craig Cackowski and Mikelen Walker were both pretty great on screen, but the others felt pretty mediocre. You want to like the other 2 stars, but their delivery wasn't so good. The writers didn't have a strong grasp of how someone might get paid for board game design, and V. V. Stubbs whole deal was so silly that it was almost impossible for me to get into the story itself. The scale of money to drive the characters felt FAR TO LOW for it to be believable.

They could have had something really solid if they tweaked the story slightly to make it more plausible, spent more time on what the premise implied they would, and did some scenes more like the opening ones.

Loved this and would recommend to my friends and family.
