Immigration Game (2017) dives into a grim and gritty narrative where survival is entertainment. Set against the stark backdrop of a Berlin that’s closed its doors to refugees, the film weaves a tale of desperation and resilience. The premise feels uncomfortably real – participants, or 'Runners,' are thrust into a harrowing race toward survival, the prize being citizenship. I found the pacing to be intense, maintaining a relentless tension throughout. The practical effects lend a rawness to the experience, pulling you into the visceral struggle. It’s not just a thriller; it’s a commentary on society's failings. The performances, while varying in depth, do evoke a sense of urgency that mirrors the harsh realities faced by many. It’s a hard watch but leaves a lasting impression.
