Wow what a movie.
The last movie featuring Pat Healy and Sara Paxton I saw was the Innkeepers.
The last movie with David Koechner I saw was Anchorman 2.
I didn't expect this movie to be this way. AT ALL.
It's about Craig (Pat Healy), a family man who has big financial problems. When he is let go from his cheap shop he goes to a bar to avoid going home. He meets Vince (Ethan Embry), a friend from school he hasn't seen in 5 years, and soon after they meet Colin (David Koechner) and Violet (Sara Paxton), who have ... like all the money. And they love to bet on money. Soon, Craig and Vince get thrilled by the thought of getting money for doing simple things. But those things get out of hand.
First off, even though IMDb sais it's a comedy, it is not. At the end there is nothing to laugh at any more.
It starts off slow, just like it would probably happen in real life, they get lured in by really simple stuff like letting a girl slap you for 50 bucks or hitting a security guy for 500. But once they reach the home of Colin and Violets home, things get out of hand.
This movie is really brutal and made me feel sick more and more every minute. But the first half of this movie was pretty slow and almost started to get boring but just when I started checking my phone it took a turn and had me hooked again.
The acting is great, first I thought Sara Paxtons acting was really weird but I realised it wasn't the acting but the character and it worked. All other characters were awesome and Pat Healy, who isn't that big of a star did a great job.
What made me watch this in the beginning though is the low runtime, it is not even 90 minutes long. So I thought, hey looks like a quick fun movie, because I didn't have that much time. It was short, but not fun, but in a good way.
About the genres, I didn't check letterboxt for them and am to lazy to do it now but IMDb sais it's comedy, drama, crime. I would say it is Psycho-Horror, Thriller and maybe spliced with some comedy.
I really liked this movie a lot, it was a new idea I hadn't seen before, well acted and well thought out. I give it 4 out of 5 stars and a like and recommendation.
