This movie has a great cast, good looking people who can act. The campfire scene in the beginning sets up characters nicely, with understandable dialogue and the viewer quickly gets to know the protagonists sufficiently. Unfortunately that's everything the film has going for it. First of all it's simply too hard to watch with the constantly shaking and zooming camera. The editing is so erratic, immersion can never happen for the audience. I was looking forward to see how they solved the logistical and continuity problems that would arise from the preposterous premise, bomb vests which transfer remaining time to anyone who kills the wearer, since I am a big fan of the Saw franchise. But given the bad camera work I'd rather read the story than watch this.

Mumbled words (bad acting), shaky camera (bad directing), boring story (bad script), no screen presence characters (bad casting), annoying score (bad producer), still old cgi gore effects (bad visuals). Congratulations, this turd sandwich has it all. They should have stopped making this after the umteenth hostage situation in the first series. Fear started strong but went the same way, World does not even try in the pilot. Is it still make-up people doing this?

This B-movie directed by an amateur has a horrible soundtrack you only will find pleasing when you never had the chance to develop a taste.

The super star you love from Fury Road has a boyish haircut that makes her even more unlikable than a missing limb and baldness.

One of the opening scenes is her (Charlize Theron's) buddies betting on her being able to name the ingredients of a piece of pastry she eats. Who cares? Not me. Does it do something for the plot, story, or character development? Of course not. There is no meaningful dialogue either. Nothing makes the viewer want to find out why these people have Wolverine's healing powers.

Here is a tip for making a scene believable: When a crew of mercenaries gets shot down in an ambush and starts moving again in a room full of enemies, one will notice. And a lot of gory head shooting would ensue. Not a melee dominated by wonky pseudo martial-arts, which unfortunately was depicted.

Not even an extra star due to production value for this hot garbage.
