Wonderful Movie

Sadly Over-hyped

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This movie wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't 80 minutes long.Long story short, this is kind of an experiment of two people, a man and a woman, from two different worlds. A french man and an African woman. They get trapped in separate vaults only to find their way to each other sometime in the film. They struggled to survive and they tried their best to escape but to no avail. Towards the end, their libido caused them to make love and Voila! The iron door unlocks itself to paradise.What's the experiment? Let's call it Project Adam & Eve.What do they want them to do? Reproduce.And that's about it. That's all there is to this film. It shouldn't have been longer than 10 minutes in my opinion.

Okay .. so we got a variation on the Cube .. guy in a room .. breaks into another room .. now we have guy and girl .. on the brink of dehydration and death .. vault door opens .. and .."Toto. We're not in Kansas anymore." Obviously they are no longer on earth .. but these two have ear to ear grins like they just reached paradise.The end.Senseless movie. Why 2 stars? Only because the cinematography and acting was good. (Although the new scene they enter into at the end looks like a back lot paint job with animation added.) I think the only reason for this movie was for a tax write off. It should never have been shown .. but then perhaps the tax code requires that.

There are a few things that need to be said about this movie...a) Go into it with an open mind and it does have the ability to grab your attention. Don't expect greatness in storyline, acting or even communication.b) Unfortunately, it doesn't give you a reason to pay attention by the end of the movie!!! I honestly was going to give it a 3 overall... and then the final 30 seconds of the movie occurred and my friend and I were both staring at the screen with the pivotal W T F face (and then the ensuing shouts of various profane remarks about the eighty minutes we just wasted watching it).Remember how Inception leaves you guessing even when the movie is finished... and you wind up having discussions with friends about those last crucial moments in the movie. This movie has a very, unexpected ending, yet you won't be discussing it with anyone afterward.

IRON DOORS is a low budget film that is clearly based in movies like SAW or CUBE. In fact it really follows their concept but it also provides some new and interesting ideas which I appreciated, I must say! The plot is very straight to follow as it begins with a man closed in a room, waking up and not knowing how he got there… So far nothing new, we all have seen it in CUBE! Anyway, at first he thinks it's just a joke from his friends, but soon he realizes it's not a joke! The novelties in the plot start when he can make a large hole in the wall and pass to another room! There he finds a black woman that is in the same situation than him, but she just… can't speak English! The movie turns funnier with this character. They make a nice couple! The plot doesn't develop a lot more until the end, where it has a nice disclosure! I appreciated this movie. It's not too original but it ends being entertaining. Score it 6/10.
