My quick rating - 5.5/10. You wake up with a bomb strapped to your chest along with all your "friends" in a forest. Each of you is wearing a timer with various increments of time left. If your time is up, you explode. The remaining time goes to the nearest person when someone dies. The point of this movie? Let's see how long they stay friends. One of the main problems with this movie is editing. Way too fast at some points to keep up with who is who. And speaking of who, the characters are developed in the dark , and trying to survive in the dark. Often you cannot tell who the hell is who. The easiest way to know who is who is by picking which one you like the least. These supposed friends seem to hate each other from minute one. I didn't recognize any of the actors here but they seemed to nail their parts due to my lack of sympathy for any of them surviving. But the "escape room" type flick of last one standing lives does lead to a fun game of excessive blood and guts in this one. The "Battle Royale" theme continues to be popular and won't be matched but it still leads to some entertaining off-chutes.
