Perfect cast and a good story

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

The movie's not perfect, but it sticks the landing of its message. It was engaging - thrilling at times - and I personally thought it was a great time.

The movie started promising that it would be something different. I was fed up with the Hollywood versions of the story (hunger games) and was interested in watching how a low budget production would show something interesting through acting.Unfortunately, the acting was rather bad, the scenario was a copy of what we have seen. The actors simply couldn't do something more. They acted the way they could. As if the above wasn't enough, the ending is a little bit blurred.My proposal: it's better to see hunger games, which are more complete movies.

I was willing to get past the thought that it's one more "Survivor"/"Hunger Games" concept ripoff and was curious to see if they managed to do something different. The beginning was promising but then it quickly descended into cardboard cutout characters and not much action either.I understand that this was a low budget production so they couldn't have much in terms of the SFX and action scenes but they could have made a great ensemble piece if they spent a lot more times thinking while writing, coming up with character developments and then treating it almost like a theatrical play with a lot of rehearsals. That's how a low budget production can compensate for the lack of expensive effects and fight choreographies - by taking the time to write much better script and rehearse actors to perfection.Instead they pinched bits and pieces from different aspects available to this kind of movie and ended up with nothing. Even "romance & sex" scenes were unconvincing.

I personally Enjoy movies that leave you wondering until the very end, the kind of movie in which everything that is happening seems impossible, and none of the characters seem to notice. This is that type of movie completely, though it could have been a good movie if they had tried just a bit harder. You have the great Rutger Hauer playing a dying rich man who has paid to play in the game with the other 9 rich, and famous people. None of the characters can remember anything past the age of 23 that the bodies they are dropped into, though they must figure out who each of their fellow players are, then kill them, and return to a room in which they have to pick from a line-up: who it was that they just killed. From the beginning you can tell that something is not right with the entire system. This is supposed to be a possible near future, and somehow physics do not apply, as each player has been dropped into the mind of a 23 year old in a virtual 2013 that is devastated by war. You have to put all of this aside, and really not put any stock into that part of the story or you will never get to the actual point of the movie. All of this is just a life lesson for one man, in fact it is possible that no other people were actually playing, and this was all just a way to clean out this man just before he passes. Where did the 10 hours go? The initial promise of living life for 10 hours as a younger man is just a carrot on a stick, and you will see why, though it just takes such a long time to get to there. The young actors are all good, and the main story really could have been a lot better. I am not really recommending this movie to anyone, if you like strange sci-fi, and Rutger Hauer then you may just want to see it to see it, but if you are an average person this movie will just leave you feeling empty, and ripped off. This could have been more, but The first special effects with the plane, and car should be enough to make most people stop watching right there as it looks awful, and more like a cinematic from an old 90's video game.

This attempt by Tino Navarro and David Rebordão to make a Portuguese sci-fi movie didn't go well. The acting is bad. I've seen worse but in general it is bad. Some actors did well but not enough to save the movie.The plot is simple. 10 old people pay to have their minds transfered to a new body to play a 10 hour game in which they fight for the chance to be young as long as they can. At each hour one of them has to die. This could be a good movie, but it missed the "good" part. I didn't care for the characters! At all! I hate movies where I don't feel anything. I felt nothing in this movie. The camera was always shaking! You get used to it but it's annoying. And the whole movie was too predictable. The end wasn't, but I didn't like it anyway. And the movie had some flaws. But I'm not gonna point them. Don't wanna spoil anything (not that there's anything to spoil but yeah)My opinion: Bad movie. Don't waste your money. Watch it at home if you're curious but don't expect much.2/10. Not 1/10 because I liked the movie idea but unfortunately I hated everything else.
