If there was any way of giving something a negative score, I'd do so in a heartbeat.
How did this guy set all these traps in the minimal amount of time he had? Boarding the windows and locking the doors, sure I can understand that... but acid on the floor? Bear traps? Trick (and resettable) chandeliers? Who writes this lunacy and worse, who greenlighted it? What possible purpose did any of these silly set-ups serve him (as opposed to providing some gross-out visuals for the audience -- love the bear trap scene... NOT)?
And let us not forget the robber with a heart of gold, who has some strange deadline imposed on the plot so we can have at least some tiny bit of tension. Lord love that proverbial duck, but that had to be close to the worse...
... until we get the coda scene, with the robber in the red box and the "collector" sitting on it. Yeah, a very fitting end visual: the audience trapped in a movie that makes about as much sense as HYPERCUBE.
This is just some juvenile screenplay given a big budget. What a pity we'll waste money on this junk and that it will no doubt spur a ton of copycats.
