I loved the premise, but the delivery of this film felt a little off to me, like the director didn't quite nail, or know how to.

For one thing, I'm tired of "inside the video game" films that don't actually feel anything like playing a video game, the mechanics were all wrong.

Another thing, I don't believe for one second the game as presented in this film would have ever been popular. A "Grand Theft Auto" style game that HEAVILY focuses on attacking bystanders? No one would play that, that's why so little actual gameplay focuses on civilians in those games.

It's like whoever made this film knows about video games, they just never actually played them themselves so it felt unauthentic. Also, the vibe was a bit too "Deadpool meets Wreck it Ralph" for my tastes. Frantic energy all the time gets annoying.

Disappointing overall.
