Real Playing Game (2013)
In a future not too far away, Steve Battier, an elderly, terminally ill multi-millionaire, accepts the offer of a company - RPG - that in exchange for a high monetary sum, provides a very select group of clientèle the chance to be young again. For 10 hours, 10 millionaires from around the world, men and women of fame and power, are transferred to attractive and healthy younger bodies, to live in a world of temporary rejuvenation, in a game of real thrills, where every hour someone must die.

Redundant and unnecessary.
Nice effects though.
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
The movie started promising that it would be something different. I was fed up with the Hollywood versions of the story (hunger games) and was interested in watching how a low budget production would show something interesting through acting.Unfortunately, the acting was rather bad, the scenario was a copy of what we have seen. The actors simply couldn't do something more. They acted the way they could. As if the above wasn't enough, the ending is a little bit blurred.My proposal: it's better to see hunger games, which are more complete movies.
Joined to just review this. After seeing poor reviews I had to say that this is worth watching. Nice to see something different, you have to watch it all. The actors English accents I thought were a treat and would enjoy seeing more of these stars.The story might need more padding out for some, but I found there was enough to get you to think about the plot.It did feel more like a short story than a full film but I liked how easy it was to watch. Rather than rubbishing the film those involved deserve praise for taking a risk on something different in my mind.Maybe with a bigger budget it could be more whiz bang with the characters and plot more fleshed out. But then it would not be what it is.
I was very interested to see this movie after learning that it had been "made in Portugal" and especially after watching the trailer. However I was hugely disappointed. In fact,I left during the interval, something I have not done in a very long time. The acting was very stilted, I could not get into or enjoy the film. In my opinion, if this movie had been made in Portuguese, that is, actors speaking Portuguese, then the actors and the movie would have come across as more natural. I think they were concentrating so hard on speaking English they forgot how to act. This is a great disappointment as Portugal has produced great films and it is just a pity this is not one of them. The trailer appears to be the best part of the film.
This attempt by Tino Navarro and David Rebordão to make a Portuguese sci-fi movie didn't go well. The acting is bad. I've seen worse but in general it is bad. Some actors did well but not enough to save the movie.The plot is simple. 10 old people pay to have their minds transfered to a new body to play a 10 hour game in which they fight for the chance to be young as long as they can. At each hour one of them has to die. This could be a good movie, but it missed the "good" part. I didn't care for the characters! At all! I hate movies where I don't feel anything. I felt nothing in this movie. The camera was always shaking! You get used to it but it's annoying. And the whole movie was too predictable. The end wasn't, but I didn't like it anyway. And the movie had some flaws. But I'm not gonna point them. Don't wanna spoil anything (not that there's anything to spoil but yeah)My opinion: Bad movie. Don't waste your money. Watch it at home if you're curious but don't expect much.2/10. Not 1/10 because I liked the movie idea but unfortunately I hated everything else.
