Escape Room: Tournament of Champions - The scoop and digest

This is the sequel to Adam Robitel's Escape Room (2019), but it doesn't help that two other unrelated films bearing same title as original were released in 2017.

Oh, there's also Alex Merkin's No Escape Room.

Jesus Christ.

Taylor Russell - Zoey
Logan Miller - Ben
Deborah Ann Wolf - Amanda
Thomas Cocquerel - Nathan
Holland Roden - Rachel
Indya Moore - Brianna
Carlito Olivero - Theo

Summary

Two weeks after the events of predecessor, Zoey and Ben locate unlisted building in Manhattan, but find Minos headquarters condemned.

A vagrant robs Zoey of her necklace and after unsuccessfully giving chase, leads find themselves stuck aboard a train car with previous players.

Cue another set of twisted games.

Entertaining rehash

Plot makes absolutely no fucking sense, but elaborate puzzles more than compensate.

Bank room with laser security system was my personal favourite.

Unfortunately, you can always tell who's gonna die.

Shortly before shit becomes real, ceiling suddenly lowers inside hotel room.

If sequence wasn't a nightmare, trap would have turned Ben into a sandwich.

Did filmmakers intentionally rip off Resident Evil?

Unknown.
