Movie Rating

At the start of the movie we see a guy trapped in a room that is closing in on hm as he tries to solve clues, giving an insight into what to expect. It doesn't appear to end well, though we don't see what happens to him we do get a pretty good idea. After this scene we go back to 3 days earlier and we are shown the lives of a group of people including the guy from the start. They each receive a mysterious puzzle box (which reminds me very much of the box in hell raiser). Upon opening they box, they are given an invite to an escape room game with the potential to win $10,000.
When they arrive at the escape room, they are instantly thrown into the game and they soon discover how dangerous this game is, as they put their lives on the line to solve each room.
Even though the premise of the movie isn't original, I did enjoy it. I thought how each room was designed was interesting and it did remind me of the cube movies, except instead of finding their way of empty rooms, they're finding their way out of actual rooms such as a lobby, a hospital and even an outside area.
The ending I thought dragged on a little, but it did make way for a sequel which I will definitely watch if it is made.
