The Review

Most movies made are mindless straight forward flicks, Liar Game is however an exception.

If you prefer a film that has plenty of twist, well look no further. It has the suspense, and scenes that will make you wonder what will be next.

I didn’t see it coming at some of the twists, and that’s good of course. There’s just so many movies that’s just safe and too predictable.

However despite the deft suspense, I find the film was told too fast with too many twists. So be attentive, or you’ll lose the plot.

The Good

• Opposite of predictability. You’ll be wondering and guessing the whole time

The Bad

• Movie pace too fast
• Lameass acting, kinda amateur
