Rent Dirty Games (2022)

Nice parcel shame about the delivery - Dirty Games review by RP

The idea behind Dirty Games is that wanna be empty headed pretty people are invited onto an on line show where they have  the chance of winning lots of money by showing off and doing outrageous things. The sort of stuff sadly reality shows actually do now. Problem is they are asked to do more and more outrageous things until.........On paper this  was a good idea. It could have been an insightful look at how debased reality shows have become. Plenty of pretty people having sex, topless shots of lovely girls and the undercurrent of danger.

Except nobody has the charisma for us to care about them.  Not Sure if the film wanted to go for a very soft porn vibe  with awful porn music to announce the carry on type scenes. Or the awful acting from day one of how to suck any life out of a scene. Or the bland writing that the characters have to  deliver. But hey we have the growing undercurrent of growing dread. Except we don't. It never delivers and despite the possibility that the pretty parcel of a film will live up to its promise. It never delivers. Even the ending seems to have failed to deliver the meaningful nod of disproval. Great shame because this should have been so much better.
