Competently made...that's about it
9 May 2021
Murder Bury Win is an indie film about 3 friends trying to secure funding for a fictional murder mystery board game (similar to that of Clue) the three created. When trouble strikes, the friends must use their own board game to get themselves out of their real life murder mystery scenario.

Overall this film is competently made but in the end suffers from a weak script that lacks pacing and direction which ends up in a mediocre affair. The characters fail to connect and their predicament becomes far too predicable as the film slowly chugs along.

What starts off as a seeming comedy, never seems to find its comedic legs. What is intended as humor never quite lands. As the film progresses it seems to want to change gears into other genres but like the comedy, can't seem to decide where it wants to go and never gets there.

Overall the film has one beat and never seems to move from that place. Even when the plot is supposed to pick up, the film never really gets interesting. If I had to sum it up in a single word, it would be "boring".
