    Really good watch, would watch again, and can recommend. Sort of a "Hostel" meets "The Game", this low production, dark and gritty survival thriller really amps up the intensity well in stages. Really, it's everything you would think of when you think "crazy Russian escape room", the cast does a good job, but I feel like the premise restricts the movie a bit. Because it keeps you guessing, it has to restrict certain aspects. This means that no one is going to get everything they want from this. I understand that you can't make everyone happy, but at a certain point you leave more people unhappy than you should. There are some great psychological aspects to the movie, but it would be a much clearer analysis in a second watch, and I don't know if the movie really would have a lot to offer in a second watch. While I do think this is worth a watch, especially for escape room ARG fans, either "Escape Room" or "The Game" should be higher on your to watch list.
