The concept here sounds great IMO, though in true Hollywood fashion it will probably fall short.

I can't help but think of this being a more advanced version of Running Man (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-ceegnWSENQ). Instead of betting on the player, you are the player.

Michael C. Hall has really impressed me in Dexter, so I am pretty interested in it.

Yeah, when I saw him in the trailer it really piqued my interest. From the Robin Hood of Serial Killers to Sadistic Game Show host. A very nice crossover IMO.

When I first heard about it before it was even filming, because it was the guys who did CRANK, I was interested.

I think this looks pretty bad, but I could be surprised.

You were right (watched it via NetFlix last night). Ugh... just ugh.

I still think the concept is pretty cool, but the follow through as far as the movie goes fell woefully short. I might even say it wasn't worth the rental.
