Hey My J's and movie fans
I'm back with another movie review in quick succession. I had two recommendations to check this one out, I think people just want me to give their opinion on movies that are iffy for some reason since I don't mix my words when it comes to movies. I feel if you asking me to give you 2 - 3 hours of my attention I am allowed to be critical over how you entertain me for that time period and this review will be no different.
So I checked out Escape Room, another horror movie inspired by the popular puzzle game people are playing these days and draws inspiration from the saw movies.
What is Escape Room about?
The movie puts together six seemingly random adventurous strangers who all travel to a mysterious building to experience the escape room after receiving a mysterious invite. To a game where players compete to solve a series of puzzles to win $10,000.
What starts out as seemingly innocent fun soon turns into a living nightmare as the four men and two women discover each room is an elaborate trap that's part of a sadistic game of life or death, they also find out they're not a random selection as it may seem and there is indeed method to the madness.
What I thought of Escape Room?
Apart from Deborah Ann Woll the rest of the acting was pretty cringe-worthy and bad, the investment guy was a pretty terrible actor and the rest would be lucky to make it into any sort of cable TV show, pretty sure CW is always hiring right?
The story borrows heavily from saw but does it in a less obvious or grotesque way which I appreciate there are actual thrilling parts to this movie. The rooms are elaborate but interesting and it does have you gripped at times before the acting starts to annoy you.
The first three rooms are fun but the novelty starts to wear off along with patience for the story and some of its characters as the movie drags on.
I did feel at times that the characters were a bit too smart to discover certain things as quickly as they did and there wasn't much made of how they are able to solve things so easy.
Many of the leads were unlikable, but that's to be expected with budget movies like this. Also, it's written like a teen movie, where people are losers one day, white collar successes the next, which is ridiculous, but that's Hollywood.

My rating for Escape Room
The movie had some outlandish scenes but they were still believable until the ending and plot twist which was so highly unrealistic it actually ruined the entire movie for me. There is no logic no explanation and I don't understand how they had the ass and balls and even titties to set this movie up for a sequel it really does not deserve.
If you have 2 hours to kill then be my guest but this movie didn't do much for me. I'd have to give it 4 puzzles out of 10, mediocre at best.
Have your say
Have you seen Escape Room? What did you think of the movie?
Holla at me in the comments! All my commenters I will now refer to as Jessie. Jessie is a good friend of mine, but Jessies got a girl, and I want to make her mine.
So have at it my Jessies! If you don't have something to comment, simply comment "I am a Jessie."
