The movie starts off a bit hopeful, with a nice suspicious setting and a likeable cast of characters going to the event in Russia. All of that is lost immediately when the escape room part of the movie starts and it becomes an extremely prolonged chain of somewhat scary scenes and random mutilation. Not recommended for anyone.

-------------------------- Spoilers -------------------------------------------- ........ ..... .... ..... .... ... ...... ...... ...... ...... ...... ..... ..... ..... it's 99.9% The Game (1997), amped with unnecessary violence, which is why you see so many reviews here relate it to Hostel (2005), and the Saw films (2004+). It's literally "The game" all the way through, right up to the same ending where they all show-up, alive and well, to celebrate his anniversary, except he actually kills a guy. That's it, that's the sum total they added 23 years later to David Fincher's masterpiece. None of The Game's finesse, pacing, storytelling, cinematography, camerawork, scripting, dialogue, acting, etc. Nothing. The pitch was literally "hey studio guy, wanna re-make 1997's 'The Game' except with an additional twist where he kills a dude?" Utterly disgraceful.

Someone sat down and thought of a bunch of horror movies and ripped off ideas from 3 that I can think of. Hostel and Escape Room being two. A low budget to stick to, which really was painfully apparent. Throw in some extremely egotistical dislikeable characters who most of I really didn't care if they lived or died. I actually zoned out for a good 5 minutes through boredom and thinking about my to do list. Yes, the prospect of housework was more exciting than this movie. Despite zoning out I didn't miss anything. 4 stars is being generous, but I'll give the extra star for the twist which was quite good, but didn't make up for the 90 minutes I'd already endured. Go watch Haunt 2019 instead for an exciting and good escape horror movie. Which incidentally is produced by the director of Hostel.

Absolutely loved this movie!! Great cast and story, reminds me of "The Game".

The film starts slowly and is not very interesting. Well copied at hostel, saw and escape room. Not a good film, although the film does have some nice moments

I pay to see this crap so you don't have to. I'm doing you a solid on this sequel to "Escape Club" by saving you both money and precious time. That movie had some merits, but none of these characters have redeemable features and you hope they all die a horrible death. The build up prelude character building for the first 20 minutes is a complete waste of time, just start at the Escape Room and dial it up a notch. Lousy acting, aimed at 12 year olds & predictable script...that sums it up in a nutshell. I'd be surprised if you don't guess the ending in the first half hour. It's a wannabe "Saw" and "Hostel" torture fest set in Moscow, Russia with a mindless, selfish Social Media Influencer as the hero. He doesn't get it, but he would if he'd watched Michael Douglas in "The Game", because this movie is a bad xerox copy....but the printer ink ran low. Please give me some brain food 'cos this ain't it. First movie I've seen on the big screen since World War C started and cinemas reopened was very disappointing.

Actually, the first half of this movie is better than the second half. The second half just wants to be a poor remake of Hostel and Saw. I don't want there to be any spoilers in my review, but let's just say the ending could REALLY have been better. As for the acting, it was mediocre at best. If you're like me, though, and you've absolutely run out of movies to watch, I gave it 5 stars only because everything else that's new sucks worse than this.
