Watch Choose For Free

The Age of Commercialism

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Similar in method to Seven (1995) this well cast little thriller doesn't live up to its potential.A new criminal has emerged, one who presents his victims with a horrific choice such as which limb he'll cut off or which family member they have to kill.The concept has potential, the execution however is lacking.The movie has moments of intelligence and strong writing but sadly that's all it has, moments.Katheryn Winnick, Kevin Pollak & briefly Bruce Dern star in this lackluster effort that should have been a great deal better.For a far more intelligent and well conceived movie about forced difficult choices then I suggest Would You Rather (2012) The Good: Couple of nice touches in the script The Bad: Very underwhelming Potential squanderedThings I Learnt From This Movie: Bruce Dern looks identical in every film he's ever been in If Scarlett Johansson & Teresa Palmer had a baby it'd look like Katheryn Winnick

I stumbled across this on Netflix. I truly feel like it's a waste of space on the internet.While the plot itself of this movie is fantastic, it has already been taken. I'm a huge fan of suspense, thrillers, horror classics, etc. Scream is an all-time favorite of mine, and this entire plot copies it down to the last detail. You have the opening scene of the antagonist's first known kill. The main character is a female student with a working father and a dead mother. The plot rises to the anniversary of the dead mother's suicide. I can honestly say I've seen it all before.I really don't understand the connection people make with this movie and Saw. I realize the intention of the antagonist is vaguely similar. I seriously enjoyed Saw way more than I did this movie. I sat through seven movies of Saw, while I literally couldn't go on any more after thirty minutes of this movie. I feel like I had already seen it.I wouldn't watch it again, and I wouldn't recommend it.

Pros: Beautiful lead Cons: everything else...sigh Amateurish at best. Winnick's acting leaves a lot to be desired. Right from the beginning she was irritating. She's better suited to being a nameless victim. She just kept missing opportunities to act. I think she's confused acting like a bitch with every other emotion. This is the first time I've seen a movie with her in it and I'm going to make sure to avoid any future movies starring her.The premise is interesting. But a premise is just that, a kernel of a a great film. The rest is a collection of scenes that drag or were borrowed/stolen from other films. There were scenes where I thought I was watching: Scream, Se7en, The Last House on the Left, Saw. The only thing chosen can claim to have in common with those films is that people died. But! These people died and I didn't care! There wasn't time to care about these victims.The movie is all about style over substance. It suffers from phoned in acting, scenes that do nothing to move the plot forward, scenes that don't belong in the same movie, mediocrity. If a movies is going to be this bad it had better be charming. If I hadn't watched it on Netflix I would have been really irked.Please do yourself a favor and just select a horror film that you've already seen and like. Much like Chosen, you've already seen it. But you can feel confident that you will at least like the movie.p.s. Kevin Pollack: Even you couldn't save this movie.

While I will admit that I wouldn't classify this film as the best i've ever seen, it really wasn't that bad. It has been compared to Saw quite a bit and although I suppose some aspects are Saw-esque, you really cant compare them. Saw ended up becoming about torture rather than the value of life, in my opinion, whereas Choose really wasn't like that. Its nice to watch a film where they don't get torn apart by something or other (not that i'm complaining, I like the Saw films but sometimes enough is enough and you want to see something a little different) Just wanted to get that out of the way.Choose is great in that it comes up with a few fresh ideas. I don't know about anyone else, but I have never seen a film where a teen has to choose who survives between their parents. I found that quite fascinating. While some of the plot would be recognisable in various other films (I'd figured the twist out within the first 15 minutes of the film starting... I watch a lot of movies, what can I say?) you never really come across a movie that hasn't taken an idea from somewhere else and changed it to suit their script. Such as the Resident Evil films and 28 days/weeks later. They have so many similar aspects I could scream!! I'm aware that 28 days later came out a few months after so they were the ones who took the idea but you catch my drift.What was also good was that they weren't determined to show every 'choice' they were to make. Some movies like to prolong death or torture scenes whereas in this film they got the point across, showed what they needed to and moved on. After watching so many gory slasher movies, its nice to see it done simply.The only real issue I have with this movie is predictability. They made it far too obvious where the story was going to end which almost spoilt it for me and probably others too. I give it a 7 due to that fact and although it was good, it still didn't merit any higher.I hope that this was somewhat helpful, I didn't want to give too much away because where is the fun in that?
