Sara Michelle Fetters MovieFreak.com But the last third is a disaster, everything that happens both asinine and illogical, and by the time it was over I could have cared less about any of the characters, their plight or if the killer was going to be stopped one smidgen of a single bit. Rated: 2/4 Apr 29, 2011 Full Review Anton Bitel Sight & Sound after several torturous Saw-like moral dilemmas and lots of delving into characters' troubled histories, the film fails to deliver a satisfying ending. Nov 3, 2010 Full Review Steve Dread Central The flick rises above the usual pack of copycats to deliver a world mostly of its own Rated: 3/5 Mar 17, 2012 Full Review Scott Weinberg FEARnet As lazy, obvious, and tiresome as retreads get. Also witless. Rated: 1.5/5 Sep 5, 2011 Full Review Glenn Lovell CinemaDope Some of the plotting feels trite, erratic, but overall I enjoyed this genre entry, as much for Pollak's fussbudget sheriff as the memorably haunting denouement. Rated: 3/4 May 5, 2011 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member It is pretty bad. Not sure what else to say. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member nice movie. life is about choices, some easier, some harder. can we predict which of two terrible choices we would make if we would have to? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member Like Cherry Falls and Se7en had a baby. A much, much worse baby. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member The worst movie I've ever seen. It had a very good storyline in the beginning that got ruined with the ending. Not recommended. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member Watchable but not very thought provoking or anything new. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member "Choose" is a pretty twisted film as a murderer forces his victim to make a terrible choice (forcing a girl to kill her father or her mother, or else he'll kill them both). Psychologically, it's very clever... but it reminds me of the "Saw" franchise where it's interesting to think about but I don't want to watch it. The story is well constructed, centering on a journalist and her sheriff dad who research a serial killer and find connections amidst his seemingly random victims. Unfortunately, the script kills the story. It is slow, simple (not in the good way), and does not give the actors much to work with. Katheryn Winnick is the exception as she plays her role well, but even well-known actors Kevin Pollack and Bruce Dern cannot make something out of nothing. It seemed like the movie might find redemption with its twist that brings perfect sense to the killer's choosing theme was really interesting... but then the random double-twist at the very end confuses the whole thing, resulting in frustration and annoyance. "Choose" was a good movie to have on in the background as I worked on other things but, if given the choice to watch this film again or pass, you can guess which I would choose.
