While nonsensical on many levels, I thought the premise of the film was interesting. I was fascinated to see how the world would 'connect the dots' of what was happening. But we're not witness to very much along those lines.
Instead, we're taken from 'normal world' to 'crazy world' in the flash of an eye. I realized after watching this movie, that the film makers wanted to sell their political viewpoint, but it didn't work for me.
Lastly, many films that are apocalyptical like this one, tend to use the same plot device of the protagonists needing to escape where they live, for safer ground far away, and the story revolves around their journey trying to get there. I found the journey to be boring, and I wasn't impressed once I had arrived. My rating = 5.

The story appears to me super weak and the more I started to think about it and the way the actors did act in the film, the more I wanted to stop this film.
Like why is it only about the rich, if you get rid of your money, how can a virus/ bacteria/ whatever know this in real time. Or in case its something different, how could it know that you put a pile of bundled dollars on fire.
It just doesnt make any sense to me. Same for the strange conclusions and actions the actors did on certain events.
I think this film is a waste of time and I cannot recommend it.
I could manage 1hr15 mins. So maybe its better afterwards.

This movie is starting quiet slow with lots of annoying people, gets slightly intriguing in the middle part and suddenly fades out even slower into nothing.
Don't get me wrong, I see the efforts they've put into this and the movie features solid acting and good cinematography, but still, like others mentioned before: there is no likeable or even relatable character to find here. The plot is paper thin and doesn't do much. I guess in the end, this is more of a psychological behaviour study, that one has to sit through with a shake of the head the whole time. Narcissists do unrelatable things and that's about it. If that triggers you, stay well clear of this movie.
Ironically the movie starts with someone making a pitch for a movie script, which would have been much better, if executed right.
Don't waste your time and money, it's not worth it. In comparison to worse movies, I'd still give it a 4.5 to 5/10 for technical aspects and some good acting.

The acting seems SO fake, and the dialogue and sound feels like very poor dubbing. This movie could have been good if someone else made it. But the very fake acting and unlikeable characters destroys everything that could have been good with this movie. I have seen this in other movies too lately. What are they doing? Recording ALL dialogue after the movie is finished? Because most of the actors can't speak proper English? In that case it would have been so much better with original language and subtitles (although I hate subtitles...). I gave this 3 stars because they made me watch it cause of the storyline. But really, don't waste your time on earth watching this garbage.
A virus that kills off the richest, most influential, and the most greedy sounds like a good idea. I loved The Platform (first one, not second) so of course it's worth watching Rich Flu considering it's the same writers and Director. Could it be they were high when they thought of this great concept, and continued to get high when they made it. The production is chaotic. The shaky camera work and jumpy editing made me feel sea-sick. This movie might have been better if written as a comedy or satire, especially with that bizarre "white glowing teeth" touch. Didn't work as an action drama and the characters were dull. Some components of this story were interesting, must have been part of the original great conception, but the way they weaved it together was poorly executed. What a waste of a big budget.
