Gamers will hate this movie. Very poor acting. Script is totally full of mistakes. It is so bad that hard to criticize. Final scene is a disaster. It is very hard to say anything good about this movie. The only thing I liked is the subject of the movie, I hope one day a better director with better players and with a strong script we watch a better version of this movie.
You know it is a bad sign when you start hoping the characters in the movie will just die already. Like others have said the concept was good but the execution was terrible. First off the acting was atrocious. And the stereotypes were so obvious and boring. Me and my husband both said the black guy was going to die first. It was like they followed the formula "how-to-make a bad movie". It is boring. The set pieces were same. The 'action' was so boring I kept fighting falling asleep. I kept rolling my eyes through out the movie. It is not good when writer's make the characters do stupid things. Stupid stupid stupid movie. Don't waste your time on this movie. It is so ridiculous. You don't care about anyone. You hope they all die because they have been so stupid.
I have never written a review before. I probably won't again. But this movie was truly awful. I mean if when I say do not waste your time. The plot twist - that the game actually kills people - is revealed in the first act. The rest of the movie is so boring. I saw this as the concept was really cool, and I was so disappointed. I kept watching expecting it to get better - maybe there was a further plot twist. Nope, just that one of the players was running it - shocking . The movie ends with the winning player killing the creator of the game and leaving the building. That's it. I could not believe such a poorly made move exists. I am usually not very critical of movies, I enjoy many low budget, cheesy movies but this was just too far. 1 dimensional characters in a 1 dimension plot. Very poor production. Good things about it? Ummmmmmm.......I didn't find the actors as bad as some of the other posters say they were (they were still bad, but I've seen worse). I have a pretty high tolerance for bad acting though. My 1 star rating is based on writing mostly, as well as directing. The special effects were decent, but this is proof that CGI is worthless without a good storyline. One of the worst, most predictable, and boring story lines I have seen in a while.
For something with an OK concept and aimed squarely at the gaming community you might think they would have actually spoken to one or two gamers when developing the concept - it seems pretty obvious they missed that boat! I would like to point out that does not generally like to rubbish things but I was amazed that every single person in the movie was such a terrible actor and even more amazed that I was not even rooting for a single character in this movie and wanted nothing more than it to finish quickly. It was complete rubbish and I have nothing really positive at all to say about it, even the cheap attempt at a twist at the end was badly conceived and even worse in execution. In short, avoid like the plague!
