Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders

Wasted over an hour watching this piece of trash and should have turned it off after one of the early scenes with the cat in the kitchen. I only started it thinking it was a murder mystery type genre and it had Jon Voight in it. Whoever took the time and money to put this overly gory trash on film should have their license revoked and camera taken away. And Jon Voight should be ashamed for being in it. He must have owed the film maker something. It's junk. I won't give it any stars because it doesn't deserve any, only a vomit and several poop emojis. Lesson: picking a movie due to an actor is a big mistake. And why is there such a fascination with the F word with directors and writers these days? They can't think of some more creative words to say? Isn't that a writer's job? Any 2 bit foul mouth kid can throw the F word around in a movie. 💩 💩🚽

I titled this Incredible Performances because the performances were so incredibly bad. I have watched many movies in my 70+ years where you may have top box office actors and actresses who give sterling performances and it seems to draw in incredibly good performances from their costars. I've now learned that the reverse is also true. The acting in this movie is so poor that it dragged John Voight and Jonathan Rhys Myers down with them. I don't know if they are strapped for cash or why they would stoop to doing such an incredibly bad movie coupled with incredibly bad acting on their part. On top of that, even if they had performed well, the plot and storyline is so ridiculous that this goes in the annals of one of the worst movies ever. Oh. Two stars because it was not overly long. Thanks for that.

While the plot seemed killer at first, all the intrigue was quickly murdered by a subpar script, butchered by 3rd teir directing skills, and laid to rest with some of the worst acting I have ever seen.

That being said, John Rhys Meyers and John Voight certainly did the best they could with an impossibly bad script. They showed their worth as actors, and were the only believable characters in the whole film. While some of the dialogue was even cringier than the abhorrent special effects, it was obviously not the actors fault. For their sake, I will give two stars. One for each of them.

But by all means...watch the film. Can't say I didn't warn you.

Film Review: Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders streaming on Netflix

Synopsis: A father invites his estranged family for a birthday reunion at his remote remote mansion on an island . Things however take a sinister turn when family members are forced to play a deadly survival game where only one will make it out alive.

The makers have tried to borrow the plot from Knives Out & Saw but terribly fall short in executing it. It ends up as a chaotic, incompetent, ugly and trashy film !! A hotch-potch of sorts which will make u homicidal for sure . Trust me , not worth ur time !!

Going with 1/5 for this one !! Adios 🙂!!

This is really a waste of time and I'm very sorry I spent my time watching it. The script is contrived and the "legacy" bit is so hokey when it is revealed that it just makes you want back the time you wasted watching it. There are so many aspects of this film that made me want to throw up my hands in exasperation: poor cinematography in that our perspective makes us believe something is happening that is not; a vast mansion that apparently only has a couple of rooms; laughable macguffins; nonsensical character development and interaction; and many more. BUT the most agregious problem is the overall plot and the final reveal: it literally - and I do mean literally- makes zero sense.

Voight is pathetic and Rhys Meyers is obviously drinking/on drugs again. Casting in general is questionable.

There is a seed of a good idea here, but all involved lost sight of it very early on.

Don't bother.
