Episodes run no longer than 10 minutes, and they’re all designed to be watched on your phone.
We talked a bit about the service itself in our review of Quibi’s Survive, but to be fittingly short: Quibi’s streaming service is all about serving up bite-sized chunks of entertainment for a culture on the go. The Most Dangerous Game, loosely based on the 1924 short story of the same name, landed on Quibi in April 2020. “If not, you die a few weeks early … but your family is set for life.”ĭodge is indeed running, but not for his life. “You survive the day, you walk away rich,” Miles tells him. And the longer the run lasts, the more money is deposited in Dodge’s bank account. The game ends after 24 hours or when a hunter successfully bags this human quarry. He has to check in every hour and give up his exact location.
Even getting himself sent to the slammer is a disqualification. The rules are simple: Dodge can’t leave Detroit and he can’t get help. Thus, the “run,” financed by the hunters and organized by a slimy commissioner named Miles. He’s also badly in debt, and he’d sure like to give his small family a little financial security before he checks his parking stub for good. Brain cancer is eating him from the inside out-robbing him of his future and, given that he and his wife are expecting their first child, fatherhood. They’ve paid handsomely to hunt down the man, and I’m sure they’d love to hang Dodge’s head over their fireplace mantel if they could find a taxidermist morally corrupt enough to stuff it.īut Dodge’s life is already on a timer. And people are indeed trying to kill him. Sure, Dodge is indeed running-literally running like crazy through the streets of Detroit.
