Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders (2022) | Film Review

(First viewing via VOD) - 
Imagine taking Succession, the Saw franchise, and one of those murder/mystery games, removing all of the elements that make them fun or compelling, tossing those elements into a dumpster, and tossing what's left into a blender, and you'll have Dangerous Game: The Legacy Murders. A lot of watered down promise that isn't any fun to play, watch, or experience in anyway.

When a wealthy family comes together to celebrate their ailing patriarch's birthday, festivities turn sour as they're presented with a game with deadly consequences. The rules: Only one will survive, and you must play the game or die. Seems pretty interesting in the setup, especially so when it's revealed early on that none of these people actually like each other for one reason or another. The father is a prick. The brothers are distant because they've never had each other's backs. The kids are entitled. This family is a real mess. But at least their rich, so I guess that's something.
