Insanely overrated

Rating: 2/10 (12 March 2015)

Yet another psychological thriller type movie that takes itself too seriously. This one presents a bunch of folks thrown into a puzzle with traps. The premise is fine, nothing new even for its time, but still fine if the acting/characters were not so bad. Sorry but the characters in this movie were completely unbelievable from the cop and doctor to the losers of society who magically happen to recall their math and grow a backbone. Not to mention that super computer brain savant. All the characters had personalities that were totally unbelievable. Even if we were to assume the cop was lying and was not really a cop, he was clearly lucid and his actions did not support his goal of survival. The doctor is your token extreme bleeding heart retard, which no doctor can be after a few years of work. The two whiny idiots turn out to be a number theory mathematician and the other does a full 180 in personality (yet remains completely mopey) going from passive a-hole to stud willing to stand up against injustice, in a matter of hours.
Aside from the character, the premise (again) was actually OK. Its almost like a precursor to later movies like Saw and similar. If it were not for the horrible characters it would have been much better.
