Pure waste of time

Terrible movie. You can always tell a movie is going to be awful when the director manages to botch a sex scene right away, during the first 5 minutes. To sum it up: this movie is built on an utterly idiotic plot, filled with paper-thin characters played by lousy actors with terrible accents. Avoid at all costs.

Just meh...

Watched it because I like the escape room-concept. Wouldn't recommend this one. Quite boring, not a lot of suspense. Weird plot twist at the end.

5x times worse than Escape Room

Well, was expecting something much more decent. we have seen quite a lot of movies of this genre to ask filmmakers to be original. A couple of months back was released Escape Room movie. That's much better than this one, at least some originality. Some, not a lot. Play or die is very very simple escape movie, with no original rooms or tasks. we have seen all of it in the saw and other classics. then, the very ending with some revelations of one players life+

i dont really understand what it has to do with the game. All the movie so seemed a trial of a first year filmmaking student to

imitate some movies he had seen. Not convincing at all. Too simplistically.

They made a movie but didn't invite the audience...?

I am left very confused after watching this, as there is so much left unanswered. Halfway through I had to check if this was a sequel or part two of something as it felt like we were just dropped into the middle of a story that was already underway..

Characters would manifest injuries throughout with no explanation, suddenly "come to" shackled somewhere; who transported them..? Were they unconscious and how did that come about..? Someone turns up dead, before you know it the body turns up in a totally different room.

And of course, the problem with so many escape room plotlines, the riddles and problems are breezed through so quickly and smoothly that the audience is left grasping for any idea on how they came to that solution.

Less-than-stellar acting, silly dialogue, I'm left waiting for too many answers that never come.
