Paintball (2009)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

I'll tell you why so serious

A Masterpiece!

This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.

** possible spoilers ** but to be honest nothing could make this film any worse. the acting is so bad . charters are non existent just the standard stereo type Europeans , only gave it a chance because niel maskell was in it and i got lot of time for him . but his shady American accent was shocking. the thing i didn't understand the most was the fact they were running around with there paintball guns like they would help them .. i just kept thinking there is someone shooting bullets at u drop the toy and f**king run . was beyond stupid . didn't even finish it . could only stand to watch 50 mins. i do like low budget horror but there still has to be something to it, other people have said it on the reviews but its like they just stole all the ideas from other films.just don't waste your time and skip this .. not even a one time watch

A group of city dwellers go on an adventure weekend and encounter more than paint bullets. This is a low budget effort and it shows. The acting is amateur and consists mostly of shouting and the plot unfortunately is a cliché ridden mess. The camera-work is appalling as a lot of the time the action is filmed too far away. The premise is reasonable but it just doesn't work as there is absolutely no characterisation at all and therefore very little suspense is built up. It really is just people running around a forest and being picked off one by one. This can only work if you at least have some inkling of who is being picked off but the outfits the cast wear and the poor quality camera-work mean it could be any of them. Even the deaths are pretty lame.To be fair once there is one survivor left there is a brief spell towards the end that the film briefly sparks into life and a modicum of suspense is generated. This isn't enough to save the film but does stop it being a total waste of time.Overall this is a very poor film and can't be recommended unless of course you like people shouting loudly in which case you'll be in heaven with this.

I don't exactly know anymore why I thought that "Paintball" could easily have been a cool and exciting survival/slasher movie when I rented it… Maybe because I went paintballing with a group of friends recently and you immediately link this game to adrenalin-rushing action and sportive kicks? Or perhaps because I have a tremendous weakness for equally obscure and similarly themed flicks from the 1980's, like "TAG: The Assassination Game", "Master Blaster" and "The Zero Boys"? All these flicks share the same plot, namely that a dim-witted but fun shootout game turns deadly when one or more participants start using real ammunition. None of them are to be considered genre classics, or even remotely great films for that matter, but they nonetheless provided pure and unpretentious entertainment. Entertainment is also exactly what I wanted to get out of "Paintball", but apparently that was too much to ask for … It's truly a dire effort, with an utterly dumb and implausible plot, and sadly also severely lacking gore, brutality and fast-paced suspense/excitement. "Paintball" is a European production – more specifically a Spanish one – and the creators obviously wanted to further exploit the worldwide impression that ALL Europeans are psychopathic butchers with a fetish for torturing Americans. Hence we're getting some kind of ridiculous mixture between the aforementioned 80's titles and Eli Roth's "Hostel". A bunch of people are in the back of a shaky truck, heading out to the remote Redwoods area and preparing themselves for a large-scaled and allegedly super-deluxe paintballing contest. Upon their first confrontation with another team already, it becomes clear that they are all defenseless puppets in much more sadistic and profitable game, run from an illegal control room somewhere in the city. It's kind of a dumb twist, if you ask me, but even more imbecilic than the plot are the totally bland and unremarkable characters. Each and every single member in the group of protagonists irritated me enormously, what with their whining and selfishness, and I literally wished for none of them to survive the ordeal. Director Daniel Benmayor also thought it would be a good idea to film all the killings from POV angle and through a sort of unclear brown camera filter. Result: the killings are hectically shot and extremely dull. There's nearly not enough bloodshed or cruelty for die-hard horror fanatics, let alone the admirers of the nowadays popular torture porn genre. The film doesn't take enough advantage of the sublime forestry filming locations and we don't learn enough about the actual villains that are running the show. "Paintball" a complete failure across all departments.

The script of movie was promising i mean i doesn't matter what kind of movies you likes everybody might like the movie till the movie start The group killed peoples without reason in that moment the movie totally lost attention. Also there was no acting,just a couple crazy men middle of the wood was murdering by mysteriously i mean who could wonder wanna see more or watch the movie,There may not be lots of important thing also they didn't even use visual effect.All in all There was nothing to watch.İf You like the script or trailer and you're thinking to watch this is the tip for you get out of this movie.
