In London, the gamer Matt spends most of his time on the couch playing videogame while his wife Anna is working, generating friction between them. One morning, Anna has breakfast and goes to the work and a moment after, three masked thieves break in the apartment and dress a vest with a package in Matt and give a cell phone to him. He is informed that Anna has been kidnapped and receives instructions to go to a mall and deliver the package to a man named Dmitri. The man also tells that if he seeks help, Anna will be killed. But Matt fails and is hunted down while receives new bizarre instructions along the day. "Level Up" is a predictable thriller inspired in "The Game" and fast-paced as "Run Lola Run". However the stupid story is annoying and never exciting. The Brazilian title is a spoiler. My vote is four. Title (Brazil): "O Jogo" ("The Game")

Matt the protagonist is shifted off his couch video gaming to the next level. In leveling up, his motivation and morals are challenged as gaming and reality intertwine but who ultimately determines progression through the level?

A bunch or meaningless , worthless dribble designed to illicit ridiculous philosophical comment about something concocted in ones own mind.

The gamer references run a lot beyond the title. And for a while we're prompted to toy with the idea that Matt was recruited due to his online prowess (think The Last Starfighter's Robert Preston recruiting for ISIS instead of the Star League). Although the story is very predictable, Director Adam Randall keeps the action very tightly paced and the dialogue to a refreshing minimum, helping to heighten Matt's growing isolation. That's enough to earn Level Up a decent review .

Matt (Josh Bowman) stays at home and plays video games while his wife works. He is addicted to them. He becomes part of a bad film, the old "do what we tell you" or your wife (Leila Mimmack) dies. He gets instructions from a cell phone. Is this related to his video game play? Did his wife do this to get him out of the house? Who knows and who cares. Josh Bowman's character had no special abilities to go after the bad guys as is the formula for these films. Without that predictable aspect, the film becomes boring, watching Matt frantically run around London. Guide F-word. No sex or nudity

Or is it? Some would argue, life is a game, so I guess it's up to you to decide that. This is a low budget movie, so take that in to account. If not you will be very disappointed. It's not a very good movie overall, but it does have suspension and it is intriguing in its own way, if you like that sort of thing. I wouldn't want to judge the acting, since this is really fast paced and does not really rely on that. There have been other movies with similar themes, that one could argue are better of course, but this is a nice little movie. You can see it as a snack, as something different. If you can see it that way, with low expectations, you may have some entertaining ahead of you ...

I don't even know where to begin. The premise is ok, yet seen many times But in this movie, it is executed very poorly The main flaw is the same as in Nerve (2016), which has a similar plot. There is NO WAY something like this could exist without the police noticing it, or someone denouncing it. Another major flaw is in the begining. Bad guys say they kidnap the girlfriend. So Matt takes his phone and tries to call her, but no answer. We learn later in the movie that it was a lie all along, and that the girlfriend has been at work the whole time. What a bad luck! Had the grilfriend answer her phone, or just send a simple text message during the day, it would have crushed the whole movie. The behaviour of the main character also makes no sense. During the whole film, he disobeys the instructions, risking his girlfriend's life. So why not call the police? The worst scene is when he goes in a restaurant and finds a laptop with the whole stuff, the website, the streaming, the viewers commenting...etc. Then he runs away. Geez, just take the bloody laptop to the police! The ending gives almost no answers but we saw it coming. Who were the kidnappers? How and why do they do this? We won't know... Overall: an already-seen movie, but badly executed, with too many inconsistencies to take it seriously.

Yes this is a low budget British film, but it manages to take a familiar genre and stamp personality on it despite, or maybe because of its constraints. It's tense and scary at times, funny and absurd at others - it throws a lot at you, doesn't always hit but I was thoroughly entertained by it. It looks beautiful, got an amazing score, and its own unique feel. You can feel the lack of money at times, and there are elements that feel familiar from other films, but it's a British film that clearly tries to steer away from the usual £$%%@%@ that comes out of this country. and the scene in the tower block is amazing, my favourite bit - deserves at least a few stars just for that

In short: This is "The Game (1997)" adapted to the society we live in now (1984) with some extra (read; unnecessary) layers that makes it feel a little as inception. It tries to be several things, and it does quite a decent job at it. This is not a bad movie and for me it is a strong 6. In long: The lighting is good, the editing is alright and you can't fault the soundscore. It really only misses a binding soundtrack and using one would negate the feel of reality of the movie (though urgency can be expressed with music quite well - Run Lola Run 1998, which is likely to be another movie that has inspired this movie). The downside is that it has a somewhat weak ending (where the several layers come in and a badly hid undertone about who's surveilling the ones doing the surveillance in the first place) - which is out of place even though it is in line with the message - question what the reality is and how you affect it. Pro's Cast (unknown which is in line with the plot line) Action sequences (and not forcing it on the movie every time possible) Rationality is alright and better depicting the notion of what manipulation of actions has the potential to do. Con's Messy ending Could build tension better Acting performances aren't top notch ALL the time (which is important in building tension and urgency) End notes: Not top notch but overall a solid watch.

the under 5 IMDb grade is very undeserved.it is not a work of high art,but i loved it.the screenplay could have used a little more work,the acting is not Oscar winning performance,but comparing with sausage party which is a piece of trash or garbage and has a good grade on IMDb i think that this movie was very good.the idea behind it was also interesting.how people is unbelievably dehumanized in this modern era.it is worth your time,but do not expect a artsy thing.it is a movie for a night with friends and a cold beer.i loved it.try it.we are so far for being safe from doing wrong.the modern culture make us believe more lies then ever and very few people fight for the truth.
