200 Degrees

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.

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.

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.

All I can say is that if the protagonist had been female, she would have almost immediately been stripped down to her underwear. This guy removes his jacket at the start and then remains fully clothed (socks and shoes included) all the way through. I can't get over the blatant double standards here - and before anyone thinks I'm being overly sensitive, we actually (completely unnecessarily) see tits! Incredible. The guy is in insane heat, gets soaked so is not only absolutely boiling but humid, and keeps all his clothes on. Then we see boobs because...? The woman could have had a bra on and we still would have known she was a prostitute.

I'm so incensed by this aspect of the film alone that I was too distracted by my ire to concentrate properly. Relatively interesting concept ruined by unabashed hypocrisy. Points for the setting as I really hate the heat so it did make me go "oooooooo" quite a few times (of course followed by "what kind of absolute cretin wouldn't take some of those clothes off? Oh yes, one who's not being objectified").

I didn't know what to expect when I started this film. The premise of being in an 'Escape Room'-like oven and being forced to transfer money to your captors seems like a fair plot. It opens fairly simply in a large, steel room with massive heat lamps suspended above an unconscious man tied to a chair and what happens thereafter is strangely reminiscent of 'Saw', where a creepy, distorted voice is engaging in psychological torture and giving instructions.

The ending, which was a little surprising, was well executed and reached the logical conclusion. There isn't much left to interpretation.

If you have an hour and a half, I'd recommend giving this one a shot.
