"Cheap Thrills" (2013)

[El Dingo]

This is the movie 'they' don't want you to see.

Basically the symbolic 1% decide to fuck with the symbolic 99% by seeing what they will do for money.

A financially struggling man runs into an old 'ne'er do well' buddy in a bar. As they try to catch up and drown their sorrows they are approached by a wealthy couple who offer them a few hundred bucks for a series of dares.

Eventually they leave with the couple and the dares (and cash rewards) escalate.

No spoilers but the story gets pretty hairy as dares reach the level of criminal behavior and self-mutilation.

This is a great 'what would I do' kind of movie. Would you lie to your wife? Your best friend? Your mom?

Not a date movie but check it out.

[Drunk Monk]

Dang, I can't remember what it's called right now but the premise is that they wire the vic with a hidden earphone and a comedian feeds him with stuff to do and say. Then the vic must invite a friend for a meal in a public place and the farther they go - the longer they last - with the prank, the more money they get. It's pretty wicked sometimes as the vic's friend is really pushed to the limit. It's not very funny actually.
