Play or Die

I'm writing my first review ever, feeling slightly compelled by the fact that I still don't know what this movie was about. Or why it was made

We have our main character, someone carrying the look of perpetual confusion and his girlfiend(?). Both whom through a series of mundane events find themselves at the premise of the movie. A sort of "escape room" building, designed to test your intelligence. Sound familiar? I'm sorry to say, This movie won't be testing your intelligence, it'll be testing your patience until the final act where the biggest test comes along.

Unfortunately, you're not going to get what you went into this movie hoping for. It has some Escape Room esque stuff in it, but you'll probably be too distracted by your wallpaper to notice. And you as the viewer don't get to be involved or immersed as to whats going on. I suspect the same was true for the actors because they look as confused as we do

Then came the moment when an executive said "We needed a twist and my son just solved all our problems" introducing his toddler son and by now I hope that you've realised everyone warning you to stay away from this movie were right.

So what am I trying to say with this somewhat disjointed review? That my review is 100x more coherent than the movie and your time is better spent arguing with strangers on Twitter. If you still want to watch it, know that it isn't one of those "so bad it's good". It's just bad and your time is more valuable than this

Hope you liked this review, I think I'll write more in the future.

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.

Ll i can say about this one is pick something else to watch...

4 for some gore....

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.

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.
