While the premise of billionaires holed up in a bunker during a crisis is intriguing, the film sometimes feels bogged down by its own complexity. The performances are solid, yet the characters lack depth, making it hard to fully invest in their fates. Some scenes are undeniably gripping, but others drag on without much payoff. It’s an ambitious project that raises interesting questions about wealth and morality, but it doesn’t quite hit the mark. For those who enjoy socio-political commentaries with a twist, it might still be worth a watch. Show less
