Breathing Room
The question of how humans will react in extreme situation of life and death will always be of interest.
The situation is: you awake with no memory of how you got to a room with 13 strangers. It is generally understood that you will embark on a game where the winner lives and the losers die. Clues to help you survive are slowly givin to you. You can't trust anyone.
The truth is we can all identify with one of the 13. We all react to things in a way that would be similar to how the 13 reacted. How would you handle the situation?
Some of us are leaders, and will always try seek answers.
Some are followers.
Some are independant. Always questioning even the reasonable.
Some are liars. Seeking their own advantage.
Some are what I will label folders. Not even able to cope with the preasure.
What is strange is the idea of who we would want to be vs. who we really are. I think that no one wants to be weak. No one wants to be a liar. But yet, we are. There always is a weak person and a liar. There is always a selfish person and there is alway a leader. You may never really know who you are unless you are put to the test.
There is no escaping the fact that Breathing Room is a version of the SAW movies. And while SAW is one of the greats, Breathing room does have its own ending. Just don't expect it to match any kind of SAW greatness.
I ask you this: Are we already in a room fighting for our own survival? Has someone already givin us clues and just watching to see how it all unfolds?
The drink of choice for this is everclear from the bottle.

I haven't seen cube. I'll be checking it out.
I agree about the premise of Saw wearing thin. I knew going into Breathing Room that would be what it is. I just can't help to be impressed by the slight changes in these types of movies that still intrigue me.
