60 Minutos Para Morrer

In a parallel world, Jigsaw has a brother, but sadly he was none too bright, and instead of coming up with a plan to punish, he has half an idea, it's not a bad concept, but it's obscured by ideas elsewhere, and poorly executed.

The idea is actually rather good, but it simply fails to satisfy on so many levels. First of all, I didn't really like any of the characters, so to be honest I couldn't care less when their numbers started dwindling. Many of the threads simply didn't hang together, it was almost all utterly nonsensical, so hard to believe in about 90% of what was going on.

The masked figure waiting in the wings...is lame!!!! It's so overdone it's unreal.

Nice ideas, but too flawed. 3/10

In LA, a group of friends has gathered to celebrate Tyler's birthday. His girlfriend Christen Wills has six tickets to an escape room.

These are the unappealing beautiful people. Their dialogue is boring. They are boring. The movie spends 20 minutes at a boring unnecessary dinner party. The first half is nothing but boring. It's not until somebody dies that the escape room gets a little tense. It just takes too long to kill somebody. The only actor I remember from something else is Elisabeth Hower and she's stuck in a cage for most of this even if she's naked. These characters are nothing. This might work if it gets to the killing faster. The ending could have gotten a final twist but it even does that wrong. The escape room is fun for about 15 minutes but that's it for this movie.

Some people go to an escape room but soon it becomes apparent that it is a tad more deadly than the brochure made out.

This starts off quite well with the characters working through the puzzles whilst some relationship issues simmer in the background.

This I found interesting and good fun.

Then the Saw type traps get sprung.

From here on in it is just boring.

The previous issues between the characters lose all their currency as now people are just trying to avoid a grizzly death.

There are still puzzles to solve but now the women are all hysterical and weepy, the men are all aggressive and irrational - yawn - yawn -yawn.

The ending is just odd and made very little sense.

Seemingly as an after thought there is some nudity in the end of the film that was again just odd.

I am never one to sniff at a beautiful woman running around naked but even I found myself asking why?

I think this would have been better if it had toned down the slasher element and gone with something a little less bloody but more restrained.

This movie is one of the worst I have ever seen. I was watching this film with about 7 friends, we honestly thought it was a parody at one point due to the ridiciously bad acting and storyline. The first 15 minutes of the film takes place in a restaurant with conversations between the main characters which can best be described as interesting as putting 5 Instagram influencers in a room and making them debate politics. Although, that's probably more interesting than what was spoken about in the film.

During the film almost everything was predictable, the acting was bad, the music was RANDOM and really added nothing at all but rather distracted from what the characters were doing and the nudity really also had no real benefit to the film.

Near the end we all expected some kind of plot twist where we would go "aha!" where we would understand the reason why this film even was added to Netflix but this revelation did not come.

Please, save yourself 1 hour and 30 minutes and go do something useful and enjoyable

I can only guess they didn't have enough money to shoot everything in the script as it felt like watching one of these kind of films with a dozen or so scenes edited out.

The production values, photography and sets were pretty good for this but largely it seemed the writing let this film down.

I watched all the way through expecting a plot of some kind to develop but it never really did.

Early on a character is introduced and a big thing is made of them leaving, we never see or hear from them again, okay a red herring perhaps, but what spend five minutes of the film on it. Things go along pretty much in this fashion until the end credits.

The puzzles were mostly not very puzzle like and the fact that the characters guessed and solved what some of them were at all didn't seem very realistic at all other than it being the only way to move the film along.

The ending left several loose ends and was ultimately completely unfulfilling.
