A Perfect Plan

Kate (Kathleen Munroe) wakes up in a mysterious industrial building. She is joined by Magdalene (Gia Sandhu), Grayson (William Forsythe), and Rowan (Michael Hough). All of them have been similarly kidnapped from different cities and are each a criminal with specific skills. There is a setup of a replica safe and security cameras watching them. They are expected to show those watching how to break the system.

It's a high concept premise. That's what is best and everything else is crap. It should be just four people in a basement escape room. The rest of this movie is very unlikely. First, I don't know how there is an escape route without the controllers watching and guarding it. The last half loses me from the escape onwards. Everything is unlikely. Still, there is an interesting concept here. It does need some rethinking.

I liked the acting. Some of my favorites, but the cliche way they defeat the laser motion detectors had me throwing my spaghetti against the wall. If you redirect the laser beam it's the same thing as standing in the beam. It's cuts it off from the receiver which is how the alarm gets activated. There's no delay on that. What a crock.

This movie is a joke. The casting is poor, none of those guys look even a little bit like what they are portrayed to be. The acting is a child's play, you can't be a badass saying "it's show time" and you don't even look like you are ready for show time. And how do one wake up and find one's self locked up in a basement and the first thing on one's mind isn't to find a way out? It's impossible to just start assuming "they" want you to do this or that, "THEY" who?. My advice please, DON'T WATCH😭😭😭

They wasted their production money Don't waste your time

Well, not perfect, but considering it's entirely an amalgam of all the same tried and true elements of a suspense-thriller-actioner--: laser shields, a la "Mission Impossible", voyeur villain, a la "Saw"s, an assemblage of highly competitive criminal masterminds, each feigning disdain for the rest, but secretly fully aware of the others' genius, like too many to mention, et al.-- competently written, played,and filmed, I'd say the end result was admirable. Carlo Rota reigns supreme as the elegant evil genius behind the whole operation. William Forsythe and Kathleen Munroe are the best of the rest, and Gia Sandhu has some great moves, Michael Hough has the thankless task of trying to inject some humor amidst the groups"tensions, but the writing's admittedly below par in that regard. The "He's my father, he's my enemy, he's my.." etc ending can't quite measure up to all that's been set up, but adequate to make this a fairly satisfying watch.
