Fifty strangers are put in a room. They are standing on red circles. and
waiting for their turn to die. Throughout the movie we can see that the people were choosing who should die
based on different conditions like their age, their sin (if any), sometimes
they were taking side with some people and next they were choosing them to die
until one person is alive.

The motive of the movie was to highlight human nature, their survival
instinct, how they become judgmental in times, how they can betray people for
their own gain, how selfish they might become given the situation. Some social issues like racism, homosexuality, religion etc. are mentioned There but we
are watching a movie. Right? Then where is the plot? Where is story or its
ending? There is nothing. There are just some people chose to survive anyway. Who
put them in that situation? We don’t know until last. Also, what we get, is
just a mention of alien. No back story, no front story. Actually, no story. Why they
were put in that situation, we don’t know even after the movie is finished.
There is no closing either.

Have you seen those social experiment videos? “How people react to this,” how
people react to that”? Those are more satisfying to watch. So, take my advice
and stay away from this movie. You will save your 1 hr and 27 minutes.
