A group of gamers in a life action "shoot to kill game". It largely takes place in a make-believe reality that looks lifelike and is also experienced as such by the players. A nice feature that makes for a very decent and intriguing half-hour of film. Excellent shooting action in a mysterious and oppressive atmosphere and in a suitable virtual setting. Exciting.

But then after that half hour the cake is suddenly gone and the film is repeated with only more shooting scenes. There are some attempts to add deeper changes in food, but they are forced and do not work. They are predictable and unimaginative.

That really won't work out anymore, I thought somewhere. And that was right.

I watched this movie without any expectations and it wasn't bad. The film started mysteriously and I was curious about what was going to happen. Too bad it's a bit of the same after a while. The ending wasn't super surprising, but it wasn't disappointing either.

The cast wasn't that special either.

A nice video that was worth watching.

It gets really boring because there is so little story in this movie it's just a concept. Ten little niggers in a virtual game. No character development, I thought it was a lot of use of white/overexposed. Although it is funny the further the film goes, the darker the film literally becomes.

The concept is nice but too thin. The acting isn't too good either. So a typical "mwoh" film as far as I'm concerned, it's not bad but not distinctive either, so I would say 2.5 stars.
