Elige o muere

It's one of those movies that falls into the mediocracy area pretty quickly. The acting is ok (Eddie Marsan is the stand-out as always) but the plot is just tired, old and predictable.

It's not a movie I'd explicitly pay to watch but if it appears on your favorite streaming service(s) give it a watch while you do something else.

It's a decent story... entertaining. No deep character development or psychological breakthroughs but a mediocre work of entertainment. You'll find it more enjoyable if you have an interest in this genre.

Quirky, yes, Original, it had some moments, good..... I'm not too sure on that one, it had some elements that were good, but far too many eye rolling moments, too many things that just didn't hang together.

The acting was alright, Eddie Marsan was good as always, but efforts to make us think the characters were American, and in The US, just fell flat. Had they spoken naturally, and just set it in The UK, it may have worked better.

The behaviour of the characters was just somehow really odd, hard to imagine anyone having such bizarre experiences, and carrying on normally.

Favourite scenes, the cafe scene was bonkers, but worked well, the part with the rat in the house also good.

Odd, not terrible, but should have been so much better.

5/10.

Once again I'm amazed by the extremely negative reviewers on here. It's like people like to complain about everything nowadays. Choose or Die might not be the greatest movie ever, we can all agree on that, but to me it was certainly good enough to entertain me the whole time. Nice refreshing story, with good ideas, and a decent production. I thought Lola Evans and Asa Butterfield, playing the two main characters, did a pretty good convincing job. As a fan of retrogaming it was even nicer to watch, reminded me of my youth sometimes. So in conclusion, if you want something else in the mild horror genre Choose or Die is a nice option.

I believe it would have been an interesting short film about retro game that takes over control and forces you to make awful choices.

However, the movie falls short with a regular length runtime and proves to be a drag devoid of any real excitement. As many before mentioned, it's just plain boring.

Leading duo does a decent job but underdeveloped script gives them little to work with.

Almost impossible to get through in one sitting.

Would have rather avoided it.

4 out of 10 from me.
