Story:
Fiona Wagner is studying for a master's degree in journalism and still grieves for her mother Samantha who committed suicide at the Crescent Hotel three years ago. Her father, Detective Tom Wagner, is investigating the brutal death of lawyer Elliot Vincent, who was murdered by his teenager daughter. His daughter was forced to choose between killing him or having her mother, little brother and herself killed by a sadistic criminal that had broken in their house.
When pianist Simon Campbell is forced to choose between losing his fingers or his hearing, Tom realizes that a deranged serial-killer is attacking people. Meanwhile, Fiona is contacted by the criminal through the codename ISO_17. Fiona recalls that her mother had mentioned something about choice in her suicide note and she decides to investigate the sadistic man further.

Review:
Choose, like I said before in my past review, I really like thriller movies. The first time I saw this Choose poster, I felt that I have to watch this one. I know it may be a trash movie (because it always does for B class thriller movie), but still I want to watch it. Just I thought about this kind of movie, even it's not the worst thriller movie ever, but still it's one of the bad thriller I've ever seen. It's a thriller wanna be movie and it's decrease its thrill minute by minute.
The story itself is not that bad actually if it can developed with a good script and plot. The concept is great. Why? Because the main idea of the concept is all about choices. It's a new idea how to kill and torture by forcing another people to choose between two important things in their life. It will be a dilemma for that person. With the significant time given like 60 seconds to choose will make it more thrilled. But everything is ruined by its plain and lame script and plot. For me, every scenes should be thrilled but I doesn't feel it that way.
The beginning of the movie should be great but I don't feel it that 'great'. The scene when the killer forced the daughter to choose who is going to die, her father or her mother should be the most thrilled part in this movie, but it isn't. It's just looked like low class budget movie that try to be great but failed. The killer is not scary at all. It doesn't make me chill when he did his killing. There are few murder scenes in this movie, but nothing that I can call great. The ending for a thriller should be revealed all the secret things but it's just so so. It doesn't have a twist at all that can make me wow with my mouth open wide. Everything is plain, lame and a bit boring.
The main act is pretty played by Katheryn Winnick, maybe you all had known him from Killers and Love & Other Drugs, she was not a main act in that two movies, but now she is. But she is not helping the movie to being good. She is kind of lame and boring, I think she should learn more from Neve Campbell, the scream queen and Jennifer Love Hewitt, the summer thriller queen, if she wants to play great in next thriller movie. The other acts are also the same, lame and boring. But I want to give my credit for Kevin Pollak as Sheriff Tom Wagner, I think he is good enough to play that sheriff character, plain but funny, he can't describe the whole thing but he is the best of the night.
The killing is not as scary as the other good thriller like Scream, Urban Legend, I Know What You Did Last Summer, etc. You don't have to close your eyes even if you are scared of this genre because it doesn't show how he is torturing his victim. All you can see is his forcing to the victim in 60 seconds and done, nothing more.
Overall, All I can say is this is a B class movie with also B class acts. It stays where it should be. It's not a scary movie even it's a thriller. It's plain, lame and boring. So, I won't recommend this movie to you guys except you are true thriller fans. :D
