First off Scarlett Alice Johnson is not the same as Scarlett Johansson.Four young adults win a trip to NYC from a social networking web site. On board the plane they take part in a game, which quickly grows uncomfortable and has deadly consequences for mistakes. Dave is obnoxious and we learn likes kiddie porn and is a hot head. Jo is an alcoholic. Gwen is still a virgin and Max is a liar.You have an unseen man with a voice distorter barking out orders. Jo is set up as the "Final Girl" as she is the only one we see before the airport. The film is fairly easy to predict...what task would you have a virgin do? Guide: F-word. Sex. No nudity.

It was a dark, dark night and I thought of watching a horror movie, and the British cult hit "Panic Button" crossed paths with me. Although slow and drawn out entirely in the beginning, the move progresses as it gets longer, and gets increasingly intense. It centers around be plot of a girl named Jo and four other people she does not know who all entered into a contest on a social site similar to Facebook called algettogether.com. The four unknowingly win and are excited for the contests winning outcome to a paid trip on a private jet to New York City. Once they arrive on the plane and situated it is a classy plane and all seems fine, until the four contestants become subject to a contest aboard the plane and are asked personal questions and soon it escalates to watching innocent people die and more lives are lost. It is a horror thriller and it is true, read the terms and conditions.

First of all the film is clearly a failed attempt at a Big brother/Saw hybrid, removing all originality from the foundation of the movie, they might have got away with it if was all executed well but it wasn't.Then obviously you have the bad script coupled with bad acting and poor delivery of the already poor script. The interaction between characters and the 'main bad guy' is both awkward, frustrating and irritating. The core of the film follows the same generic formula of all weak psychological 'thrillers/horrors': A group of people take it in turns to reveal their personality traits and flaws in a crisis situation. The same generic formula applies to the rules and boundaries of the circumstances and the main bad guy: A highly unlikely and at times impossible scenario combined with over-the top powers afforded to the bad guy in order emphasise the feeling of fear, control and helplessness. The result merely portrays a story that is too unbelievable to have any real impact on you as a viewer and therefore reveals a lack of effort from the writer to think of a more intricate and realistic plot. An example of this is the fact that it takes place on a private jet (requiring a huge level of funds or authority/power to utilise - which your typical deluded killer doesn't have). Oh and this jet happens to get some form of North Sea WIFI where it picks up perfect internet connection ANYWHERE. Another is the ability of the bad guy to acquire access to ANY information on ANYBODY at ANY given time in order to gain control over the characters within the crisis. If it were possible to have this level of intelligence then there would be basically no cyber crime ANYWHERE in the world as the police would have caught everybody by now. Bare in mind that it turns out that this guy is an average sociopath - how he acquired super hacker/CIA capabilities in his spare time is omitted.After thirty minutes I was just wishing something would happen, anything to make the film have any real point to it. After forty I was wishing it would end. In the end there lacks any real point to have watching the film, there is a slight twist,but even that doesn't result in any sense of achievement. The characters were so weak that I really didn't care what they did or said or if they all died, in fact I hoped they would to stop being so irritating. The thing I hoped for the most was the irritating, cowardly and Ponce bad guy to reveal himself from the safety of his ivory tower and get brutally done over just to teach him a lesson, however if you are hoping for this slight balance of justice then you may as well use the 'OFF BUTTON' since this never happens either.

This movie is not deserving that bad critics like awful. There are a lot of movies in this genre and style which are really awful but as a British movie in his own style with unknown characters i think its above average. And if you like this genre and enjoy movies like this you can watch and have fun. At least there are acceptable logics and reasons of the story . Don't expect a first class movie , its law budged but still worth to watch as i say if you like this kind. 6 stars means for me above average and most of the movies are like that. You don't have to have sympathy or dislike for the characters but you can still empathize to some of events.
