Most reviewers have already talked about the many problems with this so-called movie. I think calling this a thriller is a false statement and needs to be amended to simply Very Bad Drama. If there had been more chemistry between the two main characters, with more moments of intrigue and, well, plot, MAYBE you could call this a drama. But thriller? Not a thriller.
The acting was terrible, the plot was nonexistent. The two main characters who enter an all-white room for 50 days to earn $5 million as a "prize" in some sort of badly explained game show contest, could easily both have been substituted for robots with the same amount of energy and emotions. I could explain the stupidity of the food served (never really explained or eaten as far as I could tell), the robotic voice that kept announcing bedtime and wake-up calls, the everyday showers, but the lack of plot? THAT cannot be explained. Supposedly, the characters were left in this all white environment as a test of their ability to withstand the blandness of 50 days and nights with nothing to do and no color in their environment. But that could have been a better story done in short form, maybe 15 minutes.
There was no great camera work or cinematography as it was not needed. But honestly? I have seen more emotional moments between my cats and dogs in my life, than in this movie. Save yourself the loss of time and stay away from this absolute loser of a movie. Definitely up there in the top 5 worst movies I have ever seen. Do not know why I didn't turn it off after 20 minutes. I think sometimes, seeing something this badly made and acted is, in itself, entertaining! If you enjoy watching grass grow, then this movie is definitely for you!! Or, Hollywood at it's most artsy self-indulgence. Who thought this movie was a good idea? Now that is a mystery thriller movie I would enjoy watching!
