Reviews

Critically, Choose received mixed to negative reviews, with its IMDb rating standing at 4.7/10 and a 40% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Many reviewers pointed out that while the film attempts to create tension through its premise, it ultimately falls short due to predictable plot developments and underdeveloped characters. Rotten Tomatoes critics noted, “An intriguing concept that struggles to sustain suspense, 'Choose' is hindered by pacing issues and lack of character depth.” On IMDb, viewers expressed disappointment that the film did not fully capitalize on its engaging storyline, citing inconsistent performances and a script that failed to deliver compelling twists. Metacritic did not provide a score but overall reception suggests that while the movie’s ambitious idea is commendable, execution lacked the polish to make it stand out in the thriller genre. However, some audiences appreciated Katheryn Winnick's performance, highlighting her presence as a strong point in an otherwise uneven thriller.
