*SPOILERS*
She gets what she wants, her brother (would have) got treatment, plenty of money.
Sure, I could see the guy be like if you tell on us we'll find a way to kill you. But, I feel as if approached correctly, she can safely get away and have him and his group shut down. Thoughts?
That's what I was thinking throughout the entire movie lol... still pretty intense, but yeah, how on earth would this actually work? Any person in their right mind would call the cops!
On an unrelated note, I bet this board is getting semi-active again because it was put on Netflix :P
why would for example SHE call the cops? she just killed someone for money :)
"revenge is a dish best served cold"
That is what I was thinking, Once she shot her comrade there, that took the wind out of her sails Also, she didn't know any of them and even if she did rat the Lambicks out, by the time the cops got there, all the evidence would be gone.
shareWouldn't it be kind of like the group in "Hostel" where you have to kill someone to get in? By the time you get through the game and win, you've killed at least one person (maybe more) so you're guilty of murder.
Sure, you COULD get a deal of immunity in exchange for testifying but then their lawyer could call that into question at trail and COULD get off, leaving them free to not only send someone to kill you but move the operation and start up again elsewhere.
Even if they DID get convictions they could send someone to kill you anyway and even if all that wasn't enough you would lose whatever you gained from them in the first place. Yeah, in her case it wouldn't matter so much because her brother killed himself but other people most likely needed that money for very good reasons and, even with her brother dead, she still have a pit of debt to deal with and her own involvement in murder (see above).
Not defend the movie, it DID have issues, just saying. :)
I was thinking from the beginning that none of them would get out alive because anyone in their right mind would shut that place down before more people are killed. I was really surprised that they were so nice to her in the end and didn't even threaten her if she went to the police!!
sharei guess in a way iris couldn't because she's complicit in the evening. while for the most part she tried not to hurt the others, she makes a monumental decision in the last round. so, even if the winner did report shep and bevans to the police, they would be guilty for participation (maybe they could convince the cops that they had no choice because they either had to play or be shot).
i wouldn't be surprised if those sick mofos taped the game and rewatched the footage for their sadistic pleasure. and if they did tape it, they could edit the parts of them threatening the guests with guns and keep the parts where, for instance, iris whips the soldier or the guy stabs the old woman.
They probably wouldn't even have to edit that stuff out. He clearly gave her the open choice: both of them leave empty handed, or she kills him for money. She would go away for murder.

Just because you are too stupid to understand it, it does not mean that it is a plot hole
She was complicit in the game and would probably lose the money also the dr Bardeen in the clinic was paid by Lambrick for his continued silence so why wouldn't Iris be kept on the books also
Yea like others have said she would get in trouble because she killed that dude
shareWouldnt you rather go to jail knowing that those sick mother ******s are also getting what they deserve? NO way in hell i just let those guys live their normal lives.
Haha now that i think about it, i would definitely figure out a way to plant a bomb in those guys cars or there house or SOMETHING
My thinking is that they more than likely would have killed them both had she elected to just leave together considering all they had witnessed. In shooting the guy and accepting the money she became complicit so they probably felt a bit more confident about letting her go.
shareYes, because the obscenely wealthy always meet fair justice for their crimes.
shareI guess, in a way, it's a question like the ones in the game. Would you rather go to jail and shut them down, or try and pretend it didn't happen and keep yourself out of trouble?
Do you look out for yourself or society as a whole?
He is an aristocrat that has maintain a good reputation with all all of his foundations he thinks nobody will believe her. It is one of those situation where the amount of money you have make you "invincible". Which is true in today's society. If I crash my car from repeat DUIs like Paris Hilton would I get a three day term in prison,no.
shareI would also add that the foundation would most likely have connections with the law enforcement community. As it was, Bevans was former MI-5. A person raving about an upstanding member of society participating in an unbelievable game (the evidence of which was guaranteed to have been erased) would be dismissed as ridiculous. Then, once alerted, she would be eliminated by the foundation. They certainly had no problems killing people during the game, so why wouldn't they kill a potential witness who broke the non-disclosure agreement she most likely signed?
shareI came here specifically to see if someone would post about that. It does seem ridiculous that they wouldn't go to the police about that. Obviously when she gave in and committed murder to get money in the end and that did make her complicit, so there was nothing she could do without implicating herself after that.
But still she had that injury from where she was stabbed so she would have to go to the hospital and explain how that happened. Even if she lied it would be very suspicious. And she would also have to explain where all the money came from.
So I think that when she decided to kill she pretty much burned all the bridges behind her and that was probably what the aristocrat was counting on. He probably figured that human greed always wins out in the end and probably knew that from previous experience that he would eventually end up getting away with it for that reason. Because remember they have played this game before according to them so they must have been doing it for a while. And being rich they probably have lots of resources to cover their tracks and dispose of the bodies etc. I think that the people who ordered this game had a pretty good understanding of the dark side of human nature.
Medical expenses would have been likely paid out by the aristocratic family, no insurance needed, just straight payment in the best hospital in the town. The doctors and executive staff of said hospital are likely friends of the family so no questions would be raised or asked.
Everyone stays silent and likely the cops are in the pockets too.
The whole time I watched the movie, I got the Eyes Wide Shut vibe. All that was missing was masks, nakedness and eerie music.
They give you money and offer to help the person youre closest to and youd try and take them down?
That i would be screwing myself considering i committed murder doesnt even come to mind really...thats just ungrateful lol. Did volunteer after all.
Yes, because they all volunteered to do brutal things to each other and to have those things done to them, or to be killed trying to leave. That's why none of them acted surprised when they found out what was going on. Oh, wait....
shareGiven the option to leave after a couple of events that suggests it will consist of immoral activities...itd be unlikely for you to predict exactly what was going on but youd have to of realized something was up.
Furthermore.....Im going to get all this money? This random guy is going to be generous if i participate in this unknown contest? Assuming it isnt a lie i havent heard of this before?
Yes you volunteered for something sketchy and lo and behold the results. Not that the hosts dont play their part but anything bad is on you in my books.
