A group of about 80 people suddenly appear on a sidewalk and must compete in a race or die. There are rules to this race, ones that must be followed, or you die...such as no stepping on the grass. If you are lapped twice, you also die. In an attempt to keep people alive several came up with the idea that everyone stay inside a house and not run. However true to society, or the human race, one person starts running, so everyone must now run. The film was in part, designed to look at the human race in this microcosm as competition vs. cooperation. We see the best and worse come out in us as things degrade to a free-for-all.
The question they raise is "why" which is one the viewer must endure also. The clues are minor. Any seasoned film watcher would have the reason on their short list. The film ended leaving itself open for a sequel. The main problem with the film is that it took too long to get to the end. Things got boring as we waited for an answer. The main character acting was good. Trista Robinson and Eddie McGee were convincing.
This is not a film for everyone. Decent rental.
Parental Guide: F-bombs (spoken, written and signed). No sex or nudity. Attempted rape?
