The storyline of a group of people with little in common having to work together toward some ultimate goal is a well trodden road, many films do this really well but this review is not for them it is for "Escape the Field" which I had the misfortune to sit and watch all the way through to the ridiculous ending.
At first it showed some promise but when will bad film makers stop hanging their storylines on stupid decisions by stupid characters?
At a time when one of their number has been attacked and dragged off by something unknown they all decide to scatter and run in different directions because they think they hear her screaming from those directions.
Then we have a compass that points to a water tap (Would love to know how that compass is supposed to work).
Then we have a mysterious map under the bark of a dead tree for these idiots to find, well I say map but in reality it is just a checkerboard.
But the thing that really REALLY annoyed me was the final scene where a team of what we are to believe are soldiers wearing gas masks (With British Accents) move in on the last remaining person (Although what happens to the English Girl is not explained, maybe she is one of the Soldiers With Gas Masks???) and as the camera draws back into the sky you see that the field is in a huge under ground chamber with huge closing doors but as the camera pulls back even further you see that this SECRET underground field in in the middle of SUBURBAN LONDON yes that's right the camera draws back to show that this field is roughly in Peckham... One of the most populous areas in the World and we are to believe their built this Under London???
So recogisable is the River Thames I was expecting the drum beat intro to the Eastenders Soap Theme...
This is just the final nail in the coffin of credibility for this terrible movie...
