Truth or Die

I thought that this film was well planned, and for the most part well executed. The story is simple, a university party, which entailed a game of Truth or Dare ended in a bust up, and the result meant revenge was needed. Five friends are called to a party, hosted by the punched boy. His brother invites them in, and all hell breaks loose. the story itself was very clever, meaning that there were many different moments which left me wondering what was going to happen next. I could never guess who was going to die, or live. The twists and turns of the plot left it clear in my mind that guessing what was going to happen was not an option. Yet, in the end, I could see clearly what had happened. I think that one of the biggest praises in this film has to go to the actors. Having a small cast I found 3 outstanding young Actors, who I shall definitely be looking for in the future. Firstly, is David Oakes, playing Felix's brother, Justin. The character had many depths and levels, and as he unwound it was interesting, and surprisingly believable, and credible. The second is Alexander Vlahos, who played self acclaimed 'Partybot' Luke. His character showed a change and twist which was effortlessly portrayed by the young actor. Thirdly, and finally, the most credit deserves to go to Jennie Jacques, whose role as Eleanor made my skin crawl, and at the same time I was rooting for. Her character was a well rounded, sexy, bitchy, and yet incredible to watch. Look out for this girl, because I bet she will be huge in a few years. Overall, I think that this film, whilst having notable budget issues, has a clear story which is twisted, and makes for a competent film well worth the watch
