A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
The concept behind the movie is really amazing. The depiction may lag but the thought process behind the whole film is part of our reality
What started as a moderately promising thriller quickly degenerated into an exercise in endurance - and not in a good way.From the "seduction" onwards, the two female characters rapidly become hateful to the point that it is not fun, thrilling, or entertaining in any way - even twisted ways - to watch. Personally, I only stuck with it because I assumed the girls would eventually get their comeuppance.But in this sad, morally confused, ugly little film, not only do the perpetrators of mindless destruction and torture get away with their actions without any form of punishment (or even the suggestion that their twisted views have been challenged in any way), but a nice, loving, likable family is destroyed, and the filmmakers seem to think they deserve it.I honestly struggle to understand what the point of this film is, except to revel in the torture and misery of an innocent man - simply because he's a man. Even if, as the filmmakers seem to believe, he deserves it because he allowed himself (very unwillingly) to be seduced (by two sirens who refuse to take "no" for an answer), that doesn't explain, excuse, or justify why his loving wife and children need to be punished too. What's the message here? What is the audience supposed to take from this film. It's not fun to watch, and it leaves a very unpleasant aftertaste.I have never thought or said this about a film before - and there have been plenty that I've hated - but this film is disgraceful in every sense. And it's not even particularly well made! Shame on Keanu Reeves for participating!
This would be a husband and fathers worse nightmare. Is Evan (Keanu Reeves) responsible for the predicament he got himself into? You bet your a## he is. Evan is an architect who is happily married to a successful sculpture artist named Karen (Ignacia Allamand) and admittingly they have been going through a dry spell in their boudoir. So when Karen and the two kids go away for the weekend to a cottage without their daddy/husband so that Evan can finish a big job at home that he has been working on, the family all are in a good place.Then there is that innocent knock on the door later in the evening where Evan is faced with two attractive nubile and very wet and hot looking young ladies who just want to get out of the pouring rain and use Evan's home phone so that they can get to the party that they have somehow got lost and instead landed on Evan's front doorstep.A warm smile and handshake introduction, leads the ladies into a few giggles and then before Evan knows it he is in the shower with the two ladies getting his stick licked and just like Samson who loses his strength when he gets his long hair cut so does Evan after the ladies whack him over the head, tie him up, and ironically cut his hair as well.This is a remake of the 1977 film Death Game that originally starred Sondra Locke, Colleen Camp, and their victim was Seymour Cassel. In fact Colleen Camp reappears in this remake half way into the film as she plays the older, frumpier masseuse who shows up to give Evan a massage but she is quickly turned around by the two younger and aggressive women Genesis (Lorenza Izzo) and Bell (Ana de Armas). Bell displays some really bad memories with her "daddy issues" as she coyly plays with Evan's head. She actually plays with both of Evan's two heads if you get my drift.After terrorizing Evan in his own home, destroying his neat and tidy home from top to bottom as he remains tied up, and then assaulting an employee of Karen's who dropped by to pick up one of Karen's sculpture, we the audience wonder what will happen when Karen and her two children return home form the cottage. And then Karen and her two children eventually come home, walk in the front door and call out to Evan, "Honey ... I'm home".
