Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

MamaGravity good back-story, and good acting

Walter Sloane Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

mollypennick Don't get me wrong it wasn't awful but I felt like what could potentially have been a great movie fell flat.Some decisions throughout the movie seemed unjustified and made me wonder how so many people came to the conclusion to kill a person without talking it over with the rest of the group. How the man who didn't speak at all made it to near the end without voting I'm not sure or why someone randomly said to kill the black man and everyone did with no justification why.The ending was very disappointing. There was no amazing reveal ending of why everyone was there or what they all had in common like I had expected. Lots of questions weren't really answered either and left me wondering what the point of all of it was.However, the acting was great, the dialogue flowed well and seemed natural which made it more enjoyable.Not a terrible movie but not necessarily one I'd tell everyone to watch.If you're looking for good movies to watch (not all similar just recommendations) some good ones are: sinister, hell house LLC and would you rather

shannen-l-c Circle delivers exactly what is says on the tin and launches straight into the drama from the beginning. The idea is simple and hardly original (it felt very similar to Would You Rather, released in 2012), but it did keep my attention. Despite not knowing most of the cast (except Julie Benz), the performances were strong and the interactions between the characters felt authentic. More could've been done to provide back-story and insight into the characters, but the anonymity of the characters was in a sense a main component of the story because it placed everyone on an level playing field. What movies like this are great for is posing questions about humanity. Most of us consider ourselves to be good, moral people that believe in justice and equality, but when it comes down to a life or death situation how many of us would compromise our belief system in order to stay alive? It's an intriguing thought and it's what makes this movie interesting. I saw a previous reviewer comment that some of the decisions that were made throughout the movie didn't always make sense, and part of me thought the same at certain points (it seemed people jumped on the bandwagon and decided to execute someone just for speaking out), but considering there's a 2 minute time-limit on their decisions, it's understandable. It's fast-paced and pressurised from the beginning and personally, I think the characters behave in a very realistic way. They panic, find ways to cheat the system and survive and eventually accept that whether they like it or not they have to play along, so start making hard decisions on the basis of their personal beliefs and morals. In most instances, the choices of who is killed is fitting and understandable. What lets this movie down is the ending. It's a very intense movie all the way through and the ending leaves you feeling incredibly...deflated. I would've found it more satisfying if there had been a specific reason/purpose for the circle and a much better explanation than what we got. By the time it reached the end it really felt like it had all been for nothing. In addition, I think more development on the characters could've enriched the story. Similar to Saw, how each character is chosen because they've committed an immoral act, it would've been more interesting if each character was in the circle because they'd done something terrible and therefore in a sense deserved to die. Overall, I've seen much worse movies than this. It sustained my attention and nowadays, it takes a lot for a movie to do that. However, if more originality and thought had been put into the creation and execution of the movie, it could've been a 7 or even 8 star rating.

ikshulnew Just amazing!!!! This had all the elements of surprise and amazing twists. Human nature and decision making under duress has been showed flawlessly. The promise of greater good just to attain selfish gains, group psychology but the best moments were still the humanity that shines through, the brave heroes who are Gods in themselves...just amazing...ten stars!!! People who are giving this movie low ratings maybe just couldn't digest this situation or couldn't follow the decision makings and the dialogue...any way...u people suck! If you are sitting down to write a review, perform that duty honorably and truly. This movie doesn't deserve less than an 8 or 9, and for me it was a tenner!
