Jogo Perigoso: Vítimas da Herança

Look the convention is "off in as gory a manner as you wish stupid rich people" but any director that even hints at animal cruelty is not worth watching by anyone.

No long intro, this movie gets right into the gore and introduces the nasty people. So look in vain for a sympathetic character to identify with. And the real house, yep someone did some homework, was right in the middle of town, no boat or plane required. So a Halloween movie, perhaps, but nonetheless a good alternative to watching repeats on TV while broken bones heal, forced on you while waiting for the next installment of Loki.

This is really a waste of time and I'm very sorry I spent my time watching it. The script is contrived and the "legacy" bit is so hokey when it is revealed that it just makes you want back the time you wasted watching it. There are so many aspects of this film that made me want to throw up my hands in exasperation: poor cinematography in that our perspective makes us believe something is happening that is not; a vast mansion that apparently only has a couple of rooms; laughable macguffins; nonsensical character development and interaction; and many more. BUT the most agregious problem is the overall plot and the final reveal: it literally - and I do mean literally- makes zero sense.

Voight is pathetic and Rhys Meyers is obviously drinking/on drugs again. Casting in general is questionable.

There is a seed of a good idea here, but all involved lost sight of it very early on.

Don't bother.

This movies biggest is puzzle is how they got Jon Voight to be in it. This movie has zero redeeming qualities, I'm not even sure what I just watched. Think of it as the saw meets knives out meets escape room but with none of the actual good bits. I should have known to steer clear when I saw that Jonathan Rhys Meyers was in it. If you do somehow decide that a couple of hours of your life are completely worthless and you would rather watch possibly one of the worst movies I have ever encountered than do literally anything else, then you have been warned, I gave you a heads up. This movie is just plain poor on every single level.

Film Review: Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders streaming on Netflix

Synopsis: A father invites his estranged family for a birthday reunion at his remote remote mansion on an island . Things however take a sinister turn when family members are forced to play a deadly survival game where only one will make it out alive.

The makers have tried to borrow the plot from Knives Out & Saw but terribly fall short in executing it. It ends up as a chaotic, incompetent, ugly and trashy film !! A hotch-potch of sorts which will make u homicidal for sure . Trust me , not worth ur time !!

Going with 1/5 for this one !! Adios 🙂!!

While the plot seemed killer at first, all the intrigue was quickly murdered by a subpar script, butchered by 3rd teir directing skills, and laid to rest with some of the worst acting I have ever seen.

That being said, John Rhys Meyers and John Voight certainly did the best they could with an impossibly bad script. They showed their worth as actors, and were the only believable characters in the whole film. While some of the dialogue was even cringier than the abhorrent special effects, it was obviously not the actors fault. For their sake, I will give two stars. One for each of them.

But by all means...watch the film. Can't say I didn't warn you.
