Most Dangerous Game

I enjoyed it. Each episode had plenty of action or suspense to keep you engaged. But this format has to keep high engagement to keep you coming back daily for 3 weeks.

However, I can't say I'm a fan of the Quibi format of 7-9 min daily episodes, or just waiting for the series to complete then binge watching. It makes for good bathroom viewing, I suppose, or if you need a quick break for the day. I don't think I'll be continuing with Quibi beyond the trial when there's already so many online viewing options. Quibi seems to be great for our attention deficit culture.

Although the situations were ridiculous, for sheer entertainment not to be taken seriously, the movie and acting were okay.

You could run thru a long list of impossibilities and lucky breaks for: the main character, the egotistical stupidity of the hunters, and the bravado of the hunt organizer.

And even though the Tiro Fund has an efficient cleaner, the hunters (as well as the hunted) leave trails miles long. Their organization would have been busted ages ago.

As for the controversy over the Quibi format and breaking a movie into multiple quick chunks (at least when played on Roku and similar channels), they do it to intersperse 45 seconds of commercials every 8 to 10 minutes between episodes. Hulu and others practically do the same thing, but even worse, by breaking up movies or episodes every 10 to 15 minutes with a full two minutes of untimely commercials that destroy continuity.

Okay, I'll come straight out of the traps and say; the premise of this movie (like every "game" movie or series) is highly unrealistic.

I'll also say: it doesn't matter. Suspend your disbelief, it's a thriller.

It's well scripted, well acted, well paced. Christopher Walt is phenomenal as always. Hemsworth plays his part well, the hunters, especially Webster as the British gentleman ice pick hunter, are on point.

Put your logical brain at the door, relax, pour yourself a drink and just enjoy.

Forgetting about how you may have watched this film it was enjoyable. If you look at it as a whole film and not chopped up it was entertaining. The story has been done many times. There is so much tension and action in this film there isn't time to get bored.

What begins as an intriguing premise careens into total implausibility when it jumps the shark at the confessional. While I enjoy Christopher Waltz's smarmy villainy and Liam Hemsworth's dashing persona, they are not enough to redeem this cat-and-mouse escapade. Don't waste your time.
