This is a great test of just how far people will go for money, regardless of friendship. The four leads are excellent, the black humour is solid, and the atmosphere is unsettling, especially towards the end, where it gets solidly heavy. Very solid, intense entertainment and surprisingly very intelligent. Recommended. 75%.

On the one hand, Cheap Thrills looks quite familiar (a desperate person competing for an increasing amount of money, like in this Thai film) but on the other, this film is always fun enough and also refreshing because, instead of one, the desperate souls are two and they are competing against each other. To some extent, it’s predictable and you don’t need much intellectual effort to figure out what the final station will be like, but it doesn’t matter. The fun never stops and the ending is pleasantly sharp. 8/10
