Anyone see this?
It kinda slipped under the radar, but it's sort of like a b-movie take on Knives Out. It's silly, but I really enjoyed it.

I like it, but I was annoyed that the ending was exactly what I was expecting.
I don't really see what it has in common with Knives Out though, besides rich people being bad. The story and style is nothing alike.
7/10

The story and style is nothing alike. 7/10 They both deal with a naive, likable young woman who gets involved with a family of selfish, rich jackasses. Both movies take place mostly in the family's mansion. Both involve the various family members attempting initially appearing to be supportive of said young woman while plotting against her behind her back. Both families have a treacherous young man who isn't quite what he seems. And both families severely underestimate the intelligence of the young woman.

Knives Out is an Agatha Christie style mystery with a detective investigating a possible murder. Ready or Not is a hunt movie. The have some big things in common, but overall the stories are very different.

Well people have the right to feel differently than you do.

Characters cursing isn't automatically funny. It depends on the delivery and context. There has to be an actual joke. READY OR NOT only falls into this trap occassionally. For the most part, it's a funny movie, as well as a thrilling one. However, the way GRACE (the protagonist) stops feeling... well, anything when seeing a person die (whether she witnesses it or she kills in self-defense) feels rushed. The reason why the LE DOMAS (GRACE's in-laws) are trying to kill her on her wedding night is because of a family tradition. They think that if they don't murder her, they'll die the next day. It turns out there were right. It's one of the many moments where the movie cleverly catches the viewer off-guard, because there weren't any supernatural elements before and because we've seen many fictional cults be wrong about this kind of thing. Unfortunately, there was more material to be explored. The revelation opens up a debate. Were the in-laws justified, since they were saving their own lives? Or is there no excuse in a situation like this unless there's evidence? Instead, the movie pretty much ends when they die. How disappointing. Early on, there's a point where GRACE manages to get out to the road. She tries to stop a car, but it drives away. I get that she's angry about this, but must she scream at them, thereby making it easier to get caught? And must her insults consist of heavy-handed social commentary? The only one who tries to help GRACE & ALEX (her husband) is DANIEL (the latter's brother). He puts something inside a drink and the LE DOMAS vomit blood. TONY (the father) asks what it is and DANIEL describes the bottle he found in the kitchen. TONY figures out the kind of chemical that it is (a non-deadly one). Why didn't DANIEL let them believe it was poison? I doubt they would've continued the chase if they thought they were going to die in a matter of seconds. 7/10 ------------------------------------- You can read comments of other movies in my blog.
