Stars: Taylor Russell, Logan Miller, Deborah Ann Woll, Tyler Labine, Jay Ellis, Nik Dodani, Adam Robitel, Kenneth Fok, Yorick van Wageningen | Written by Bragi F. Schut, Maria Melnik | Directed by Adam Robitel
Adam Robitel’s 2019 film Escape Room is Sony’s attempt at crafting a cheap money making franchise in small budgets and big returns in the same vein as Lionsgate’s enormously successful but varying degree of quality Saw series. Running at just under one hundred minutes, ninety of which are engrossingly tense and aggressively atmospheric with a delightful b-movie quality that no doubt entertains but sadly falls off the wayside with an irksome sequel bait set up that jumps the shark to a stilted degree.
Not to discredit Escape Room for all it proposes in entertainment value but it is derived unconditionally from the bowels of James Wan’s Saw of 2004. Not necessarily the most damning of comparisons...
