Ingenious capture of desperation
What an intense movie! The whole time I was watching I was leaned forward with my palms sweating! The plot was deliciously unpredictable as well, especially with the ending.Basically the movie involves 9 strangers getting locked into a mansion and are forced to kill each other in order to leave, while the lone survivor is promised 5 million dollars in cash prize. The cast in this movie was amazing, especially Dennis Hopper, who played an Irish catholic priest who seemed to be losing his faith. You really get to know each of the characters well as the movie progresses on too, and as more and more people begin to die off you feel the intensity grow along with it.In my opinion the director really did a good job in showing the power of greed and the savagery of the human nature in this movie. The soundtrack for the movie was also totally awesome, with genres spanning from hip-hop to piano sonatas. It really stands out compared to other films.
