Actors whose faces you might recognize but not their names.
Along with Combs, Snow & Heard is a cast of seasoned professionals. The movie works exceptionally well because of it’s whip smart cast. In this film the first round consists of the following choices: Would you rather stab the person next to you in the thigh with an ice pick or would you rather take three lashes with a African whipping stick (Sjambok)? The choices don’t get much better as the movie continues and as the cast is slowly whittled away I thought of the classic tag line: “Who will survive and what will be left of them”? “Would You Rather” has no real rules, it’s just someone asking you “Would You Rather” do one thing or another. What Shepard’s game consists of is a game my son likes to play with me in the car every so often. It doesn’t matter since he won’t be around long enough to spend it…
After thinking over it for a second, he promptly drinks the liquor & pockets his money. Immediately intrigued, Shepard offers up a deal to him…$10,000 to drink the glass of wine! Conway refuses so he’s then offered $50,000 to quaff an entire decanter of scotch. John Heard plays Conway, the guest who turns away the wine offered up with dinner. Shepard’s right hand man, Bevans (Johnny Coyne) is introduced as a former MI-5 agent and indeed his training comes into play almost immediately.ĭuring dinner it’s revealed that one of the guests is a recovering alcoholic. The dinner is hosted by Shepard, his son Julian (Robin Taylor) & a few large men serving two functions, serving dinner to the guests & keeping everyone from escaping the dining room. We’re never told what the other contestants financial problems are in depth (Although we’re given hints of the problems a couple of them have) but all of them are there out of desperation & the hope that the Lambrick foundation can bail them out. But there is plenty to drink beforehand & Iris begins to meet the other guests before dinner starts. Once Iris arrives at the home she finds 7 other people getting comfortable but not really knowing what the game is or how a winner will be chosen. The winner will have their bills completely taken care of by his foundation, The Lambrick Foundation. Lambrick invites her to a dinner at his home in which she will have a nice dinner & then participate in a “Game” with other similarly cash poor guests.
Her plight catches the eye of her brother’s doctor and he sets up a meeting between her & Mr. She also has a very sick brother, Raleigh (Logan Miller) who is in dire need of a bone marrow transplant. Iris has some outstanding bills that her deceased parents never got to. Wow! Did this one catch me by surprise! Directed by David Guy Levy, “ Would You Rather” is the story of Iris (Brittany Snow) who is trying to find a job as the movie begins. Desperate to help her ailing brother, a young woman agrees to compete in a deadly game of “Would You Rather,” hosted by a sadistic aristocrat.
