I normally like psychological dramas and weird movies like The Platform, Cube and escape room challenges. This one however, is all about a guy in a box, where the law of physics don't apply. Eventually he's able to talk to a woman, obviously trapped in a box too. Then, absolutely nothing happens until the film is almost over. You can literally save yourself time and fast forward to the end. You won't get any answers but at least you saved your precious time.
The are much better guy-trapped-on-a-box themed movies like the Cube and the Saw franchises. I also liked House if 9, which of course includes more than on trapped guy, This one is too cheap and simple.

This is one of those movies where a young boy has to be trained into a killing machine to take revenge when he grows up - which he does of course in a poorly put together mess of splatter, gore and "comedy". The characters are intentionally silly, which underlines the film's B-feel. I have to give some praise to the advanced camera work but it doesn't save this movie at all. This is a John Wick movie for kids without John Wick and not for kids because of all the violence and blood. I'm seriously curious who this movie is made for. Pimpled teenage boys? But above all, it's one of those boring movies where the "hero" fights armies of guards, armed with machine guns and doesn't get hit by a single bullet. Yes.. one of those. Additionally, they can endure brutal violence and still get back up, but of course not the bad guys who fall like bowling pins. Do yourself a favor and watch a different movie than this career mistake by Bill Skarsgård.
