Not the worst movie ever but it's pretty bad. Overly Obvious and cheap.
bolomark7 February 2022
I've seen worse acting but this is pretty bad. Horrible Special Effects and the plot is so predictable it becomes rather boring for the stupidity of the obvious is beyond comprehension. You have a guy that's narrating the plot who is the same guy you know from the beginning that he's evil. The first 5 minutes are pretty good but then it falls to pieces and becomes one train wreck after another. You have a Game Creator that's created a couple of FPS's. The guy is a total A-Hole and steals ideas from everyone else yet does little to nothing himself. As a result, he's made enemies and his "Friends" start dying one by one while he's being investigated himself for the crimes. Thus you have the movie. You hate every character in this movie and the stupidity of the characters makes you wish they would die sooner than later just to get it over with. Regardless, the fact that everyone is oblivious to their new employee is pretty pathetic. Don't waste your time on this super low budget movie.

Warning: Spoilers
Spencer Bradford (Jacob Blair), the creative head of a video game development company -- who is more protagonist than hero, because he's a complete jerk -- just wants to get their new game through the crunch. Yet when a Redditor who claims that Spencer stole his game begins to hack into the lives of everyone that works at the company.

Yes, a slasher about social media and video games.

Director Steven R. Monroe also made Teardrop, Unborn and Harland Manor, all of which are Tubi exclusives. He's probably best known for the I Spit on Your Grave remake. Writer George Olson's experience is limited to a short and a web series, Surreal Estate.

There's a scene where a new employee waxes on and on about what a life-changing experience it is to work on the game while his boss literally urinates in front of him, the boss' bartender girlfriend destroying numerous dudes at a bar with her caustic customer service, an office where real weapons hang on the walls and get passed around in conference rooms, a sex scene followed by the male character being completely crushed by the women afterward and an explosion in a parking lot that looks worse than anything in any first person shooter I've played going back to GoldenEye. Oh yeah -- and a little button on the ending with dudes in Christmas sweaters beyond excited to play the game and finding out that it's...well, you'll see.

This was filmed in Winnipeg and when I realized how Canadian it all was, it answered so many of my questions.

Almost needs to be seen to be believed
Dougie B27 January 2022
The script feels as thought it was written by a 16-year-old with no real-world experience, going off how they think the adult world works.

This movie is filled with absolutely absurd depictions of how adult relationships work, how the police handle threats and homicides, and how an actual company is run. It'll leave you wondering if this movie is real or if its some sort of Andy Kaufman-esque prank being pulled on everyone.

Utter Garbage
madtowneh11 January 2022
Even in this pandemic age of mediocre movies popping off on streaming platforms left and right, FPS stands out from the pack.

Corny cliches abound, acting is terrible, script is mindless dribble, plot is exactly what you'd expect from a movie geared towards 14 year old gamers, and the entire thing feels completely incoherent.

Nothing of substance whatsoever.

They Didn't Even Try
zeldurp14 January 2022
I was completely confused all throughout. It's a complete mess.

The screenplay is complete trash, cliched and phoned-in dialogue.

Completely nonsensical things happen. This takes place in present day and the modern office has no sense of security. The antagonist gets away with everything they shouldn't be able to. The police and authorities refuse to do anything.

Absolute brain drain.

this is trash
yanis_martin19 February 2022
This wasnt good. It wasnt even that bad so it would be good again. It was just bad. The dialogue is sloppy, the script tries to be complex but ends up making no sense. There are way to many side-stories that aren't necessary at all. All characters feel bland and dumb. I hated all of them. They had no personality and I couldn't relate to any of them. 2/10 because it could be worse.
