I have never written a movie review before so I am not sure of the proper format. With that being said, that's why I have a blog, because I can say whatever the hell I want in whatever way I want to. It's invigorating really. Back to the movie.
If you have seen this movie then you may agree with my criticism and I seriously only have one. Just one thing ruined this amazing movie... the fucking end. It made no sense, it pissed me off and it literally made me wish I had never wasted the time to watch it. If you haven't watched the movie then stop right now, get on Netflix and watch it, then come back and read this. If you have no plans to watch it then continue on but the curiosity will eat at you, I promise.
Don't get me wrong, from the first ten minutes to the last ten minutes, I was glued to the screen like a kid enjoying Saturday morning cartoons. So the plot is basically a broke man about to get married and the wedding costs are piling up. Feeling stressed, the guy goes to clear is head and his phone rings, It's this strange man calling to inform him that he was chosen to be on a game show. It was creepy from the start but dude keeps listening, man of the phone tells dude to kill a fly that is in his car with him, so obviously he knows that he;s being watched. Freaked out but curious, he listens on. The guy tells him that if he kills the fly that $1000.00 will be added to his bank account. Now thinking the guy is nuts, he kills the fly, his phone dings and it's his bank... money added to his account. Dude was freaking but still curious. He then tells the dude to eat the fly for $3000.00. Thinking this man is nuts but really needing the money for his wedding he reluctantly eats the fly, ding goes his phone and bam $3000.00 added to his account. It only gets creepier when the guy calls and starts telling him personal information about him and his family that no one could know and tells him the game has begun, keep his phone handy and he will receive instructions. He has to complete 13 tasks chosen by the crazy phone guy, he has 11 left. to make a long story short, the tasks grew more scary, crazy and violent but he kept going, he was almost there. the 13th was he had to kill someone and he did and he got the money added to his account and everything is fine and dandy until the end when he grows a conscience and all of the sudden wants to investigate. He ends up running into the main cop at his crime scene, cleaning it up. The cop was involved the whole time and was making everything go away for this guy, he got away with everything, full bank account, beautiful fiance but no, let's fuck it up... so he shoots the cop. The end. Seriously. I wasted time out of my precious life to watch that shit. He completed the tasks, police cover up, it was a little game the higher up officers played. BUT HE WAS IN THE CLEAR, til he shot the cop. then his phone dings and all the money is gone. Where is his defense fund? He fucked that up. Highly disappointed in what could have been a happy ending movie but sucked instead.
