Rating: 2.5/5 --
A cheap, quick thrill ride that may be entertaining and even vicious, but without any kind of real payoff.

The film would be nasty if it weren't clever (and sometimes horribly funny).

For genre fans, Katz's film will go down as a punchy and absorbing diversion, but it's also an offer you can refuse to believe. A better film would have given you no choice.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
[It's] a fair amount of twisted fun, thanks mostly to a surprisingly, effectively low-key turn by Koechner as the game’s emcee.
A.V. Club
The sort of original, intense, darkly comic character-driven thrill ride that I'd love to see more genre filmmakers working on

Daily Grindhouse
Rating: 3/5 --
It's good cheap quickfire shock-horror genre thrills, appropriately well directed and well scripted, a potential cult classic, with some blacker than black humour thrown in.

Rating: 3/5 --
The script is smarter than the premise sounds, with writers David Chirchirillo and Trent Haaga dispensing enough information to make victims both sympathetic and despicable, the instigators charismatic and sinister.

Product Description:
Director E.L. Katz teams with screenwriters Trent Haaga and David Chirchirillo to deliver this exceedingly dark comedy about a pair of old friends (Pat Healy and Ethan Embry) whose chance reunion at an inner-city dive bar leads to an encounter with a wealthy couple (David Koechner and Sara Paxton), who tempt the pals into participating in a lucrative game of one-upmanship that quickly runs off the rails.
