I was happy to watch it once. I have mixed feelings about this. It has a good premise, several business types have to compete for an elite corporate job, they have to do some games and all gradually get eliminated. I think that is a good enough premise for a movie. It also did surprise me a few times, which I like, but, my main problem with it is that I did not really like any of the characters. For a film like this to work, they need to be competing for something cool, in this it is just a elite corporate job, they never really explain what it is, I also have to like at least some of the characters, so I will then want to support them as they play the game. If I was going to do a film like this, then it might be better to make it something like several prisoners are playing a game and the winner gets freedom, then you make the hero someone who was falsely convicted of a crime, so you would have a good person who didn't really belong in prison being given a chance to escape, you could then have some of the other prisoners be really bad people who do not deserve freedom, the audience would want the hero to win and escape, that in my opinion would be taking this same general premise and making a much stronger and more compelling story. I really should be making movies. I'm not saying I'm Alfred Hitchcock, but I've got better ideas than most of the dummies currently working in Hollywood, and whatever they call Spanish Hollywood... El Hollywoodo. Anyway, it is an okay movie, but just okay, it could be a lot better if they made some of the changes I suggested.
