I was suprised when I first saw the initial 7.5 ratings, bad b list actors, very rage baity premise and a title with very little imagination. This ought to be a below average thriller flick direct to tv and I was right.
It is about a group of people hostage to a violent young thug who is trying to convince them to stay quiet about his violent theft of a winning lottery ticket. The premise is actually intruiging at first as you see the hostages being swayed by the promise of millions of dollars in lottery winnings. A lot of happens in the middle of the movie and the ending is very lazy, expected social messaging. It's that kind of movie, a movie with the premise as a hook and nothing to show for it. It is supposed to be, you would assume, a study on human nature and how morality goes out the window if the stakes are high. Very little of that, the actors wouldn't have been able to pull it off anyway, still what we get is cheap action instead. What a waste. What a bad movie.
