 I've never seen things that weren't there before, and they all look, yeah after seeing this film I might have to change my mind if I ever want to go to an escape room. My name is Brandon Keith Avery, and this is just my opinion, and what's going on everyone thank you so much for tuning in to my opinion slash review for escape room I really do appreciate it. Man when I went to go see this I was this close to going into this film completely blind seeing no trailers but literally like five or ten minutes before it started I pulled up my phone I looked at the truck I was like oh snap this is what I'm in for so if you don't know escape room is a belt an escape room you've heard it before in marketing maybe you have maybe you haven't but escape rooms is where it's like a real-life mysterious event to where you go into a room you know you pay you go sign up you go into a room and you try to escape but when you go into the room like the obvious escape may not be the door you may pull the door handle the door handle may come off you have to find clues to get out of the room now I've never done one before but I heard about them and I hear that they can be pretty fun and pretty difficult I also hear that if you're claustrophobic you probably don't want to do it because that would just be bad but that's what this film right here centers around now when I was watching the film ease of description that you can sum it up to is a new age reinvention of the saw movie or the saw franchise and I like that and you can say that you it does have those similarities without it being a complete copycat of that film now this film right here is being directed by Adam Robbitell I've never heard of him before but he is behind the the insidious films he's done a number of short films but the last insidious film that came out the insidious the last key which came out earlier this year January nearly a year ago he is behind that film and so he also did direct this film right here escape room and the cast you know it I'm not too familiar with the cast other than mr. J. Ellis he plays somebody named Jason if you know J. Ellis he would he's in insecure or I don't know if he's really in insecure season three I'm behind on that season he was in season one and season two and I liked I think his acting was pretty good and in that series I also think he's acting was pretty good in the game which used to be on BET and I think another channel before that and you know you're not the best actor in the world but you know it's service but I liked him and this film right here I really wasn't feeling his role the acting just was not the best it's actually kind of bad at some point in times I mean he's trying to play some corporate you know big boss executive and he comes across like oh yes Larry after the board meeting we're gonna go over to Bangkok then fly over to Miami and have hot dogs and hummus with avocados you know I that's just how he came across and I just really wasn't feeling him in this role but everybody else I think they did a great job the the next main character in this film is by the name of Taylor Russell she plays Zoe and she's more of the thinker she thinks outside the box you know she is one of the other main protagonists in this film and she was fine but the rest of the characters I mean they're fine too it's just a gang of random people that actually I was about to spoil the film I don't want to spoil it for you but it's just a gang of random citizens that are thrown into the situation they have to put all the differences aside and just come together to make it out because and when they if they follow the clues in these escape rooms if they don't get it in the in the right nick of time they're gonna die or whatever so it is fatal you know I'm saying and the deaths that they come up with in this film are very creative just like the soft films you know always when I go into those films I want to see something new and every time these characters go into a new escape room it is extravagant it is concise it's scary and it's mysterious you know and and you just like man how they're gonna get out of this situation who in the world is thinking of these traps and like how long did it take I mean and it's also just goes to show how sick people are to where they would come up with some type of thing and I like at the very beginning of the film and just throughout you're kind of asking yourself okay who is behind all this what is the reasoning and all this and as you're going through the film you're as the characters are trying to find out the clues to get to the next room to survive you're trying to get clues and piece together stuff in here and there and sometimes the camera tricks you it focuses on one object a little bit longer than other and you're like okay that's gonna come back later you know I'm saying and maybe it does it maybe it doesn't and I like how the film plays I like how the film teases you and it does that because they mean there were a lot of elements in this film that were just new and fresh that I didn't see before and I was entertained throughout I mean these escape rooms are very extra extravagant and elaborate and you know they're really hustling trying to survive and get through this and what times the acting was poor with the public characters other times they really just shine through as far as the severity of the situation and just how you know like man they are they are in a twister and they just need to get out of here whatever now the disappointing thing in it that just kind of really ruins the whole film to me is this the ending is sucked but before I elaborate on that just also just something the budget of this film was ten million dollars which is fairly cheap I thought with the cast it could have been even cheaper but you know that was fairly cheap and I don't care about a budget I mean as long as you can get a if you can get a job done with a hundred dollars you can get a job done with a hundred dollars and for the majority of the time you really couldn't tell that the budget was cheap in this film up until there was a few flashback scenes where they tried to dev a little bit deeper into the characters of backup and not backup but a backstory I was like oh okay you can really tell that this is a low budget but the ending of this film pretty much ruined it for me I was really pissed off the ending of saw paid off to me there was another ending there was another film I forgot the the name of it the Belcore experiment where people are locked in and they have to escape I like the ending the ending in that film was so so but it was much better than this film right here when this film and I mean you're wanting answers you want to know how everything ties together and who is behind everything and they do answer that for you but the way it comes off on screen it's like really that's cheap you guys just really couldn't think of anything better to do and you just kind of wrote up some beats to the end it was okay here we don't know what to do but we're just gonna finish the film you know whatever I did my best I don't really think you did your best with this ending but you know hey it is what it is and I was gonna give this film high praises but you know because of the suck face ending and and and I just have to give this film if I had to rate escape room out of a one of ten I'm gonna give it a six out of ten yes a six out of ten that's my lowest passing grade when this film ended everybody was like you know but hey guys do you want to see it that is just my opinion for a escape room or have you already seen it have I turned you on have I turned you off do you
