It’s a movie about escape rooms that literally kill you, and if you’re willing to buy into that premise, it’s about as good as a movie with that premise could probably be. So, hey, 2019 is looking up. Read full review

From a purely visual point of view, Escape Room is worth the price of admission. Read full review

It’s a mostly fun, logic-be-damned ride if you just stay in the moment and don’t think too deeply as the going gets tough — which is soon enough. Read full review

The setup may seem recyclable, but really it’s disposable. Read full review

The filmmakers haven’t gone so far as to put you in the game, too. A lot of it is watching all the characters find keys and have their own revelations, so by the time you get to the fifth room, it’s understandable if interest is starting to wane a bit even with the addition of a link between the six people.

At least it could have been fun-bad, not just boring-bad. Read full review

There’s just enough cleverness in Escape Room to enjoy that this bad-horror-movie experience becomes more discouraging than droll. Read full review

Saw x Cube x The Belko Experiment, if you like those movies then you should like this one.

I liked it. It kept me entertained from start to finish.not oscar material or film fest material. Does it have to be, to be good?

Everything about this film is ridiculous...and yet I couldn't look away. Escape room has a great cast, decent set pieces, interesting (and just plain crazy!) premise delivered well. It's super cheesy and not terribly logical (like who would finance something this insane!). Like hostel, cube,Everything about this film is ridiculous...and yet I couldn't look away.

Escape Room is better than I think a lot of people would expect. In a lot of ways it's similar to Saw, but it is better than the more recent saw films. The plot is what you'd expect: a group of people have to solve puzzles in each room to escape and progress to the next.

It's as simple as that, except, you know, people can die in a film version of the game. It's entertaining but that's about it.… Expand

About 10 minutes into the movie I was looking for a clue on how to escape the theater. You could hear the sarcastic chuckles from the few who attended wondering why they were still in their seats.

You could hear the sarcastic chuckles from the few who attended wondering why they were still in their seats. (Another red flag - sparse audience) I'm bitterly disappointed with some of the misleading user scores from some of the people I rely on. Amateur acting mixed in with a poorly written script.
