Thankfully, I didn't watch this on Quibi. I was able to watch it as one continuous film on Amazon and it was entertaining from beginning to end. All movie long Liam Hemsworth does a phenomenal job of keeping his audience invested and I loved routing for him.
-
somewhat fun but the small episodes annoyed a bit. writing also wasn't that great and overall just generic
-
I'm not sure why this is being described as a series. I saw it as one continuous film, and it was the regular run time of a feature-length movie. It was fairly entertaining.

I didn't realize this had started out as a series. I couldn't even tell this had been stitched together, although the every hour on the hour set up is reminiscent of '24'. This is an ok film. It has a pretty good cast, most notably Waltz is a great maestro asshole. The set up is pretty standard fare for action-thrillers these days - a man needs money so agrees to be hunted, and the whole thing goes off about like you would expect. Where this show fails is in the writing. There is nothing new here to really hook us - he doesn't have a 'special set of skills' or doesn't particularly do anything clever to survive. Additionally, there are little moments that just fall flat - why does the protagonist almost never take stuff off his defeated adversaries like weapons, money, ID or tools? Or how are the adversaries always hours ahead of him, already in costume? Just dumb.

Watched the Prime full-length movie edit. In my opinion, Most Dangerous Game is much better as a full-length movie instead of short-format episodes. The production value looks great, but some of the special effects are low budget. The action is good most of the time, but there were a few moments where I thought, "Really? You expect me to believe that?" Some of the dialogue is cringey and cheesy, but that's mostly the writing's fault. The story goes a little off the rails in the last act, injecting unneeded background lore and a twist. Overall it's a decent action B movie.

I watched it as a movie. I had no idea it was a series until it was finished. It was well paced, though there were a few comical contrivances. Overall one of the best Movies I've seen in a long time. If you enjoyed the 2007 film The Condemned you'll Enjoy this for sure.

I watched it as a movie and really enjoyed it.

Short, quick, and pretty shallow. Still slightly enjoyable, but can certainly see why Quibi flipped. Hemsworth & Waltz are good no matter what they are in.
-
Amazon Prime-turned movie, definitely watchable because of the Godfather-like power of Christoph Waltz and yet his non-superhero hunters seem brainless in some areas. Dodge is an athletic survivor, almost like James Bond but without the fancy electronic weapons and defence gadgets. The movie is down-to-Earth, nothing supernatural about it, probably that's why the score is just above average.

Here's the great thing about "Most Dangerous Game": It's actually worth watching. Here's the worst thing about "Most Dangerous Game": It's on Quibi, a new small-screen streaming service with a limited selection of content that, sadly, is nowhere near as watchable. Quibi itself I found to be useless. Its short 5-to-10-minute episodic format of movies is frustrating and irrelevant. I get that the makers of this service are trying to tap into the disjointed lifestyles and short attention spans of millennials, but that's what a pause button is for. So why do we need this? Most of the content I watched on Quibi felt very "trending issues" centric, with logic and good storytelling thrown out the window in favor of playing lip-service to hot topics that'll be forgotten in a few years. A sampling of their offerings include "Survive," which was a movie that just felt cheap; "Die Hart," which took a great concept and flushed it down the toilet with poor execution and a lifeless ending; and then there was the stalker thriller "The Stranger," which, honestly, I turned off after the virtue-signaling heroine stated her preference toward veganism for what had to be the third time. My eyes can only roll so much during one movie. That brings us to "Most Dangerous Game" which is why I signed up for the service's free trial to begin with, and for two reasons: 1. I'm a huge fan of the original short story by Richard Connell first published in 1924. I've enjoyed many of the adaptations of this kind of thriller, my long-running favorite being "Hard Target" with "Surviving the Game" a close second. And... 2. Christoph Waltz, who is one of those actors that just owns every scene he's in. In "Most Dangerous Game," he doesn't disappoint. Waltz is mysterious, menacing, fun, charismatic, and clearly the movie's MVP. Liam Hemsworth--in what is probably his most engaging role yet--plays Dodge (get it? "Dodge" the bullet?) who, upon learning he has a terminal illness accepts an invitation to play in a dangerous hunting game to secure a fortune for his family. The catch? He's the prey. The production value of this "movie" feels high, the cinematography is slick and cool, and the movie comes off as a big scale thriller. The action is good. The cast is great. There's even a few well-developed side characters who, although not given a ton of screen time, mesh with the well-written script to give you a good sense of who they are. The movie's biggest problem is that the thrills are truncated by its delivery. The episodic format makes the movie feel slow and saps the energy from the momentum as soon as one episode is over. The biggest hindrance to watching this movie is Quibi itself, which only allows you to watch their content on a mobile phone. This, ultimately, isn't worth it to me, and I'd rather wait until the collected episodes become available in movie form on blu-ray or on some other streaming platform. I'm sorry if this feels more like a review of Quibi than the movie itself, but the way "Most Dangerous Game" is presented makes it impossible to separate the movie from the platform. The movie is good fun. The platform sucks. Find a way to watch this one apart from Quibi and you'll probably have a good time with it. Me? I spent more time cursing Quibi between episodes than enjoying the movie itself.
