Absolutely Fantastic
It's a movie as timely as it is provocative and amazingly, for much of its running time, it is weirdly funny.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
I will try to stretch this review to 10 lines but I really don't want to. This movie was terrible. It gets a two for originality, a three for suspense, a two for cinematography (it was 80's like), a four for acting and I don't care to even mention other facets.Will everyone stop trying to be the next Saw. There are so many movies out there that have tried and failed at the whole social experiment to either expose the truth or allow people to be reborn. It's tired already, and in this case it was done in such a lame fashion.***SPOILER ALERT***Is everyone that compliant when they are facing imminent danger or death? Are you really so dense as to give a loaded gun to your captive? Everyone that was forced into their rebirth and survived lived happily ever after?Get the bleep out of here and get over yourself.
I thought the movie was pretty good. Although, it looks bland and dark in the beginning, the ending all makes sense and ties to the beginning of the movie. The story involves six people who all have something in common are kidnapped and made to decide the fate of others just as they have chosen to do in their own lives. I like the "saw-like" qualities of this movie where people who do not value this thing called life are made to value it.It's funny how people who say they wanna die and actually attempt to take their lives will do whatever they can do to stay alive when they are given the true chance to die. It's a great movie and worth watching!
I'm sensing a theme among negative reviews: that this is a SAW rip-off without the gore. As much of a sweeping statement that is, and how little credit it gives to this movie, I can see where they're coming from. I was always fascinated by the small amount of psychological horror in the SAW franchise, but felt like it was too much of a gorefest to truly be able to appreciate it.On the other hand, "Die" takes all of the elements I had wished to see in SAW and uses them full-force: there's the murky morality, the inescapable desperation, choices that don't feel like choices. "Die" is violent, but it is subtly so, and focuses a lot more on the characters and what they're going through. I found it incredibly intriguing and entertaining. The acting was good, the cinematography well-done--overall, I was impressed.
First off, before I even get into the movie, I just want to say that everyone writing such scathing reviews against this movie need to stop. They're rating this movie based on what they wanted to see in it, and not what the director intended, which is as foolish as one can be. If your only gripe is that "it's like Saw without the gore", then you need to open your eyes.Anyway, onto the movie. In a word: great. The reason stated above for why people think it's so bad is actually what makes the movie so good. It provides suspense, drama, and tough moral decisions without the senseless and excessive blood and guts. It's a little confusing at first, and if you don't pay attention you may find yourself lost later in the movie, so for that I take one star off of the rating. It also has one or two minor plot flaws, so for that I take off one more star; but on that detail, I dare you to show me just ONE movie that does not have even a single hole in the plot. You can't do it.All in all, this was an outstanding movie, given that it doesn't have any big names in the acting, producing, or directing and it definitely deserves a lot of attention. The plot is absorbing, the characters are interesting, and the moral of the story really makes you think. I give it 8 out of 10, and would daresay that this is a "must-watch" movie, especially if you're bored on a weekend night and feel like watching something you haven't seen before.
