Uno Para Morir

This is an ok movie, not in my native language, but i still managed to follow it.

The set up is a group of people who at first seem random (mostly) strangers, but as the plot develops, that is shown not to be the case. If that premise sounds familiar, it's because it's been done many times before, in movies such as The Circle, Escape Room and The Exam.

The acting is pretty good and the story is well paced, but where i have the biggest issue is with the ending. I won't spoil it but lets just say it left me feeling very unsatisfied.

This is worth a go if you have a short while to spare and are ok with subtitles (unless Spanish), but of you want good story writing, maybe this isn't ideal.

This is a mystery movie. The plot is unoriginal as it gets. Some people trapped in a facility, trying to find why are they here, as they face an imminent danger. I like this genre and my expectations are not very high.

It was an interesting movie, never dragged. Not great acting, just sufficient enough to not distract me. As it progressed, it was getting better. There were a few surprises, even characters looked more interesting and likeable. Still, i wouldn't call it a good movie, but definitely it was watchable.

Then, a totally unnecessary twist happened that ruined the final 10 minutes. Sure it was unpredictable, but definitely not clever. Another big revelation happens in the final minutes that there was not a single hint before. For a twist to be good, it must have been foreshadowed before. This came out of nowhere. Lazy writing.

Not a bad movie and you will probably enjoy it if you love mystery movies and your expectations are low. As for me, i didn't enjoy it much. My expectations were not high, but this was pure mediocrity.

Turns out pretty good escape room kinda movies, with a shock & twist at the end !

At first I thought what a lame poster, almost not watching it, but saw Manolo Cardona stars in it, so I eventually gave it a try.

Storylines/drama are interesting, good pace, the stories are explains well.

Don't expect much like Oscar worthy or anything, because this just B rated movie.

Just something to enjoy if you have free time to pass.

I love Manolo Cardona such a great actor, can't believe he's the one directed this movie ?

Pretty talented now he's a charming spanish actor too.

If you love movie like this genre go for it.

This was a really good production. The set was top notch. The cast did amazingly well. I don't think there was any one out of the main cast that wasn't exquisite. I am always particular bout overdubs so I usually prefer subtitles, but this was done very well so I enjoyed it.

The story was very creative. It has the whole Saw vibes initially with them waking up and being trapped in a house. But after awhile you realize what this is all about and the movie takes on a life of its own. The only issue for me was the last 20 min. It just didn't work for me. It felt rushed and I wasn't quite convinced when the whole big reveal happened.

But it was a good watch. I enjoyed it and would certainly recommend it.

Here's The 4K Lowedown on "Death's Roulette" (NR - 2023 - Paramount+) Genre: Thriller/Revenge

My Score: 6.4 Cast=4 Acting=7 Plot=6 Ending=7 Story=5 Intense=7 Pace=7 Suspense=7 Revenge=8 Twist=6

Seven people are kidnapped and suddenly find themselves part of a deadly game.

"Rule #1...you must choose one of yourselves to die." This was pretty good, although very predictable...it was like the antagonist looked me right in the face from the jump. You could fly a plane through the holes in the story and the puzzles that looked great at first really didn't stack up. This Spanish film is better subtitled than dubbed due to the fact that the dialogue is wrong when dubbed. This is a ok watch if you have nothing better to watch and have Paramount+.
