Escape Room

Thought I was watching the 2019 film of the same name. I was confused how it got OK reviews.

I don’t understand why you’d make the protagonists so unlikeable. And then have them overact so much. And not really behave like real humans.

And while we’re at it, why would you have such a long and boring intro that was completely and utterly irrelevant? Oh, and why are escape rooms some secret underground thing? And why do the puzzles mostly make no sense?

Why is it just terrible in every regard?
