disgusting, overrated, pointless

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

This film is the epitome of Nihilism. Everyone just dies. There is no point. It has zero purpose. We live. We die. And that's that. That's Nihilism. We are all going to die in anyway. Nothing matters.

The movie starts off with 50 random people waking up in a strange room. They all have to stand on red spots, if they move from that position they instantly die. Every 1-2 minutes one of them dies. Eventually the group find out that they can vote on who dies, and this ensues a deadly wheel of fortune. The premise of the show is very interesting and the way the story progresses is thrilling. There are many different social issues explored throughout the movie as well, some are presented much better than others. Themes such as affluence, racism and what people would do to survive are very clear throughout the film.This is not an A-Class film however. This shows. The cinematography is not that great, the technological aesthetic isn't very appealing, the dialogue can come off as very fake and the acting is mediocre to awful. Altogether this is a pretty interesting film and could be put on in the background whilst doing another activity (as it's mostly dialogue).

The plot is okay, but the film gets worse and worse after the 30 minute mark. This movie is slow, boring, and underwhelming. The climax is incredibly overhyped. Plus, the low buget vibes and below average acting makes this film very hard to watch.

First of, this review contains small, unnecessary spoilers, but nothing that will ruin the movie for you.When I first saw this movie, I was surprised about how good it is. It doesn't have a well know cast, and the premise is kinda weird. But the acting was actually pretty good, the characters (the one's that doesn't die right away) is well written and believable. But that said, it's certainly not a movie for everyone. There's barely any action, it's 99% dialog, which some might find annoying, and that's what makes it good. It doesn't try to appeal to the casual watchers, but works more like a movie to make you think. The movie deals with a difficult topic, that we've all probably thought about at some point - How do we decide who deserves to live and die? In that way, it kinda reminds me of Death Note, but without the action, and with more people deciding who can live and die. Besides that, the only flaw with this movie, is how 'surface level' it is. Some of the 'problems' they deal with, isn't well though about and predictable. Of course they talk about racism, sexuality, how children deserves to leave, how the old should die first, who gives more to society and so on. It feels predictable, where it would have been better to deal with other topics that isn't so 'basic'. Besides that, it's great movie for people who enjoy talky movies, with plenty of philosophic questions, but it has it's flaws. 7/10
