Classic
That's the one word I would use to sum up this movie. Classic. The premise is pretty easy to get. Nine people, kidnapped and drugged, wake up locked in a mansion. They are informed that only one will survive and be let out along with five million dollars. From there human nature takes it's course. The movie reminded me very much of Alfred Hitchcock films (aka Rope (1948)), in that it's all about the story and the acting. There's no special effects and everything takes place in one area. The acting is decent and you genuinely get invested in the characters. Dennis Hopper is of course instrumental in setting the tone, nobody plays crazy better. You'll find that the movie is hit or miss in reviews arena. I'll admit it's not as good as Devil (2010), but it's worth watching at least once and unless you've been ruined by big budget special effects and 3D you'll definitely enjoy it.
