About this movie

Miles (Daniel Radcliffe) nerdy existence changes dramatically when he inadvertently gets caught up with SKIZM, an underground gang hosting real-life death matches that are broadcast online. Miles excels at running away from everything, but that won't help him outlast Nix, a crazy psychopathic killer at the top of her game.

Holy hell, went into this expecting silver but found PURE gold! I keep saying nothing Daniel Radcliffe has done since HP has been bad and he keeps it going here. Hardcore action packed movie that just kept going. I didn't even realize how long the movie was going on it had me in a vice the whole ride. Reminds me of an old school 80's/90's action movie with the explosions and gun fights but with modern CGI and cinematography blended beautifully. The story in it is pretty awesome, seen once or twice in some failed movies or B films but they tried to make it narrative driven, this didn't. This to me felt like a hardcore action packed gun slinging explosion blood & gore fest with just enough story to keep it moving and know whats happening with great comedy sprinkled on top. $10 was a BARGAIN for this, happily would have paid full price and I've never bought anything on Play that wasn't on sale. I always think it's difficult for child stars, most for that matter, to break out of being seen as the role from their first big film but Radcliffe has proven time and time again he can play any role in any film and hit it out of the park. This is a must watch and well worth the price. Highly recommend, I was on the fence seeing the trailer but don't regret buying it at all. Pull the trigger and do it.

This movie was utter craaaap. I love Daniel but this one had to be made by a bunch of film students out of college. It follows so many garbage tropes of action movies but hits none of them. I lost interest the minute the tatood bad guy made an appearance and it just slid in the gutter after that. They try to play on gaming culture and look like run and gun shooter but it's just booooring and not funny. Wish I could refund. Glad it wasn't a theater ticket.

Good movie all around. Harry Potter graduated from magic to having guns BOLTED to his hands , interesting. Hes a dork with a dead end job with a boss that likes to bully him so thats a different aspect of things to come in the movie. Hes been pitted against a chick named Nix , its a versus battle , run by an online thing called Skism. Movie is intense and rather graphic , at times funny. Ive seen it twice already. Worth the rental but not $6.99.
