Play or Die (2019)
2/10
What was this even about?
4 October 2021
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.
