Escape Room

The cast projects a generic, 50s B-movie vibe, but in a good way; no one character is especially likable or unlikable, and this keeps you guessing as to whom the filmmakers will kill off.

The production design on this film is fantastic... I was dazzled from scene to scene.

Escape Room is not anything to get terribly excited about. But where suspense is concerned, the premise works: even when the trajectory of the story is easy to predict, there's no knowing what may be hidden behind any specific locked door.

Escape Room is too contrived to convince us of genuine peril.

Total nonsense. It makes no sense.

There is some enthusiasm on display at the outset...but the film, possibly prefiguring the response of any rational audience, is soon enervated by its own tiresome premise.

Escape Room is a fun ride, even with inadequate dialogue. Quite a bit of it consists of characters simply pointing out items as they enter the various rooms. It’s very possible, though, to overlook this because of the rollicking journey that follows.

Escape Room holds frightening puzzles and balanced tension, even in its weaker moments.

The overall plot wasn’t quite clear at times and within the first 20 minutes of the film, the characters were already in the first escape room

You learn early on to switch your brain off, but even that can’t cover the ludicrous finale.
