This movie, to me, was nothing special but a mere attempt to make a dark movie about an unusual topic: haute cuisine.

It is basically developed around a single main environment, which is the dining hall, and very few and obvious things happen: the cooks cook, the courses are served and people eat and talk to each other.

The vane attempt to create some tense scenes completely fails to me and some events that were supposed to be shocking and unexpected revealed to be obvious and, in my opinion, randomly put in the movie just with the intent of surprising the spectator.

However, I really appreciated the main actor's performance (the chef) and thought that he was a good fit for the role.

Many features of this movie also reminded me of other movies of the genre, such as the Saw series (the theme of the deadly game, created by a deviated master, who wishes to punish sinners for their mistakes) or Death on the Nile (the theme of isolation, the boat...)
