Escape Room (I) (2019)
1/10
Total abject failure of movies of this kind!
13 April 2019
Warning: Spoilers
I can't believe I was enticed to see this movie on the premise of: "If you liked Saw, you will like this".

The actors/actresses can't be bothered acting, none of them had a gram of believable impression on their face. Cliché after cliché, everything seems to be falling apart in terms of their last 10secs until someone mistakenly trips over something, or throws something which uncovers the key to exit. At best, you'd get someone with an epiphany at the final 15secs which recalls a word in his memory that unlocks the puzzle. Meanwhile, you had an idiot 'nerd' that seems to think a room gradually warming up to 400F was "just a game" and in fact "thrilling".

The other 2 actresses had the acting capacity of a 5 year old, the Iraq veteran constantly yelling at the cameras that the joke is over and wish to exit (thinking it's big brother), the other black woman having the token role of a Quantum Physics student who loses it and starts to bash a concrete wall with a metal object out of frustration.
