Clever, believable, and super fun to watch. It totally has replay value.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Each character in this movie — down to the smallest one — is an individual rather than a type, prone to spontaneous changes of mood and sometimes amusing outbursts of pettiness or ill humor.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

Die, is just a saw franchise clone trying so hard to be serious but falls short on many aspects. The characters are two dimensional. Yes, we know their back stories and why they are there however, we don't care. None of the characters including the detective are interesting enough to keep watching. After 30 minutes or so the movie gets so boring that it is almost impossible to stay awake.The story is dull and uninteresting. Who gives a crap about a bunch of losers and their choices in life? There's nothing to be sympathetic here nor there's anything sufficient enough to connect with the characters. They roll the dice on each other and they either die or not. I see that the movie tried to have as little gore as possible, and probably this is why many people voted 2-3 stars on average. It was a huge mistake, because if the killings would have been gory and original, the movie could have been a lot more successful and would at least satisfy the gore lovers hunger, in my opinion.All in all, this is a sawesque cliché movie with very boring storyline, empty characters and non existent gore. I would say skip and go watch something else instead. 3/10 for the cinematography.

Those of you giving this a 1 rating need to explain why it's worse than "Manos, the hands of Fate." Those giving it a 10 star need to explain why it's better than "Shawshank Redemption." The cast is good. The plot sufficiently convoluted. I recently watched "Rampart" and I considered that a grand waste of time. At least "Die" was compelling.I have said that movie reviews often say more about the reviewer than the movie. Gunot213 says "I've never given a film 1/10 before..." but his only other review is of "Halloween" to which he gives a 1 star. Get a clue before you give a review.This is no "Saw" clone any more than "Saw" drew from other sources. If any comparisons are made to "Saw" it should be that the "teacher" wants his "students" to succeed in "Die." It makes "Saw" hypocritical by comparison."Die" is watchable, not totally predictable, imperfect in some ways, but has proper production values, cinematography, acting and plot. Anyone giving this film 1-2 stars should be subjected to perpetually watching the Justin Bieber movie until a proper review is given.

I'm sensing a theme among negative reviews: that this is a SAW rip-off without the gore. As much of a sweeping statement that is, and how little credit it gives to this movie, I can see where they're coming from. I was always fascinated by the small amount of psychological horror in the SAW franchise, but felt like it was too much of a gorefest to truly be able to appreciate it.On the other hand, "Die" takes all of the elements I had wished to see in SAW and uses them full-force: there's the murky morality, the inescapable desperation, choices that don't feel like choices. "Die" is violent, but it is subtly so, and focuses a lot more on the characters and what they're going through. I found it incredibly intriguing and entertaining. The acting was good, the cinematography well-done--overall, I was impressed.

I don't know what previous reviewers were thinking but they obviously didn't see the same film I did. I guess some folks just like over the top slasher porn and others have a different idea of what's entertaining.I don't like gruesomely over the top and poorly acted horror porn. In fact, I think those kinds of films are garbage. But, to each his or her own.This film was great. Well crafted screenplay, intriguing story, the opening scene was a nice insight into Jacob Odd's motivation and so long as you pay attention, which isn't difficult with this film, you would make the connection right away between that scene and the rest of the film.This film is great, simple storyline, uncomplicated as a thriller should be. You don't really question what, who, or where, but you do have to figure out the why and the how.I liked this film for it's simplicity. One of the best thrillers I've seen. Glad I bought the DVD, and not just because I'm a fan of one of the actors.
