I'm not a huge fan of violence & gore and Tarantino films are not my thing , although this had nothing to do with Quentin , you could see the influence
The fact that this was an original story straight to film was impressive , it had the feeling of a well established game or comic but the influences are definitely there and I can see this being spun into a franchise with sequels, games & comics
With it dystopian theme it had hallmarks of films like The Hunger games & running man and to an extent Total Recall . There were also hints of Rollerball , Westworld & Logan's Run with a touch of Pythonesque humour around the violence & gore
All in all it wasn't a bad film , it was above average & it worth watching if this is your genre , it's not mine but I didn't dislike it , I thought it was ok
Pad. A 6/10.
