Cutthroat Agenda (2012) | 140 minutes

Kayleigh King (Amber Dias-Ivanov) is shown graduating from university with a degree in Business Administration. While her and her friends, Amy (Lexi Anderson) and Sophie (Neiva Lo Cicero), drink in a bar a couple blocks away, Kayleigh discusses finally making her parents proud. A man (Barrett Highmore) sits down near them and orders himself a drink and tells the bartender (Gabe Gardner) that his boss won't let up. The bartender tells him to continue at it since his boss isn't giving him any other choice. The man looks and stares at Amy, Kayleigh and Sophie as they leave. The three of them comment on the man staring at them as they leave. At Kayleigh's apartment, Sophie talks about her relationship with Mia and how well it is going. Amy and Kayleigh are in no rush to get into relationships, although Kayleigh does have a slight crush on Devon. The next day, the news discusses the disappearance of philanthropist, Anthony Da Rocha. Kayleigh messages Sophie about it as Sophie went to one of his charity events. Sophie is shocked and hopes he is okay. Kayleigh then hears the doorbell ring and goes to enter it but as soon as she opens the door, the screen goes to black.

Kayleigh wakes up in a weird look room with odd architecture. At the end of the room is a large with "4" painted on it. A woman (Bibiana Li Voti) notices her and helps her up. The two of them gather at the door as others join them. Two of the men (Barrett Highmore and Channing Renda) begin screaming for whoever locked them up to release them. Others begin shouting as well. After a couple of minutes, a young man (Valentino Carucci-Blake) tells everybody that nobody is answering so it may be best to search for an exit themselves. When an older man (Lorenzo Sashia) says that he has no reason to go with anybody here as he doesn't trust them, the young man suggests that they introduce each-other. Another young woman (Anrietta Sashia) says that she refuses to give out her real name and says that everybody can call her "Venus". She would prefer people call her by a nickname as opposed to stalking her when they all escape. We then get introductions as the nicknames given are "Diamond" (Ariadna Kelsen-Gray), "Apollo" (Channing Renda), "Titan" (Barrett Highmore), "Citadel" (Lorenzo Sashia), "Eyes" (Miguel Madrid), "Ghost" (Kayleigh / Amber Dias-Ivanov), "Doctor" (Kilian Heidenreich), "Saturn" (Bibiana Li Voti), "Calico" (Jamie Freitas-Maksym), "Castle" (Jonas Gama), and "Witness" (Valentino Carucci-Blake).

Everybody goes to explore and discovers that there is a living room, sleeping quarters, a kitchen and a bathroom all in the first floor that they can all readily access. In the kitchen, Ghost tells Titan that she recognizes him from the bar. Titan says that whoever kidnapped her probably kidnapped him. Ghost says that his logic makes no sense. Titan is dismissive and says that it's not like she knows why they were both kidnapped. As Titan goes to leave, Ghost points out that he was staring at her and her friends as they were leaving. Titan says that she's looking too much into things and leaves. At the end of a far hall behind the kitchen is a door with the letter "V" on it. Ghost finds it and alerts the others to it. The group regathers by the "4" door as it is the biggest room and discusses what the "V" door and the "4" door could mean. Venus is, notably, paranoid about the situation and of everybody and leaves to lock herself in one of the sleeping quarters, feeling safe in there. Diamond is rather standoffish to everybody, Titan is aggressive, Citadel is silent, Eyes is very analytical and Castle is cold to everybody. Saturn tries to remain positive and tells everybody not to give up, which fires up the younger Calico to try and get everybody to try and force open one of the doors. Witness is, notably, the most pessimistic and solemn of the group, leading Eyes to ask why he chose the name "Witness". Witness tells him that his name describes all he's ever done and asks him why he chose "Eyes". Eyes says that, outside of here, he is an optometrist.

For the next hour, the group tries to forcibly open the "4" and "V" doors but to no avail. Afterwards, everybody is a bit more defeated and disperses to the different rooms. In the kitchen, Saturn tells Ghost that, outside of here, she is a single mother of three children. In the living room, Apollo tells Titan and Eyes about how he is a fitness coach but was hoping to head back to school to take law. Titan mentions that he doesn't have time to tell strangers about himself. He thinks everybody is really sketchy, especially Citadel. He wants to know why he barely talks. Eyes says that he and Citadel spoke earlier and it is because, like everybody, he doesn't trust anybody here. Titan gets up and says that he wants to talk to him himself and leaves. Apollo tells Eyes that Titan is just a brute and doesn't like to really think about things before he acts. Eyes says that the most suspicious person here isn't Citadel at all but, rather, Venus. Nobody knows what she is doing right now.

Ghost and Saturn hang out in front of the "4" door. Ghost discusses graduating university for Business Administration the night before she came here. Saturn is proud of her and says that her oldest child, who is 12, wants to take architecture. Witness comes over and asks what they are doing.

As Castle, Ghost, Saturn and Witness all enter the living room, the doors lock. After a look around the room, Ghost makes the connection that it is a locked room puzzle. Despite a lot of arguing over what to do at the beginning, they all manage to work together and open the doors again. Calico and Diamond run in, saying that they heard the doors lock and were super worried. Venus comes from down the hall, rambling about how the entire place is booby-trapped and they are all going to die here. She yells at them for not being careful and walks off.

Castle, Ghost, Saturn and Witness stay in the living room for a little bit and boast about their ability to open the room. Witness says that he has a tiny bit of hope that things could change for them as the room locking itself was no accident. Eyes comes in and says that he heard what happened from Calico and Diamond and wonders if all of the rooms need to be solved to open up the doors. The others agree. As they all go to leave, Ghost tells Saturn that she wants to talk to her about something and brings up seeing Titan at a bar before she was kidnapped. She notes how creepy he was and how he was so dismissive to her when she tried to bring it up. Saturn says that she doesn't trust Titan either. Ghost says that a part of her feels like Titan could be connected but wonders if that is paranoia talking.

In the main area, Eyes asks Citadel and Titan if they are getting along. Titan says that, while he had his suspicions of Citadel, he is, no doubt, one of the more trustworthy people here. Citadel explains to Eyes that, outside of here, he is a psychiatrist. He analyzed everything far too much but has come to the conclusion that they are all victims of this, especially the four who were trapped in the escape room. Titan's aggressive nature in their conversation made him re-look on things. They had a nice conversation about things and helped each-other calm down. Everybody gathers in the main area and Eyes explains to them that it is clear that every room could be a potential trapped room that they will have to escape from and this could be the key to opening the "4" door. Titan tells Citadel that there is something bothering him and he is curious if they could talk quickly. Those two leave. After that, everybody disperses.

Calico talks to Ghost in the living room and tells her that she should stay here and let the others focus on the other rooms. Her, Castle, Saturn and Witness went through enough as it is. After Calico leaves, Titan comes in and asks to talk to her in the bathroom. In the bathroom, he explains to her that he was at the bar because he had a rough night. The reason he watched them leave is because a part of him was worried that his conversation with the bartender caused them to leave. He just isn't good at confrontation and that is why he was so rude to her earlier. He asks if they can just move on and help each-other get out of here. Ghost smiles and says that she is good with that and thanks him for clearing things up. As she goes to leave, Titan says "I'm sorry, Kayleigh", which gets her attention. He then beats her to death with a pipe that was on the floor.

In the end, only Calico, Castle, Venus and Witness escape alive.

Cutthroat Agenda: Chapter Zero (2017)

The film goes into how Adelio and Anthony came up with the experiment and what led Adelio to recruit his own daughter without her knowing. Titan is also revealed to be Adam Estes, an employee of King who was tasked with surveilling her during the last night, hence his appearance at the bar.

During the first experiment, Titan is seen in one of the chambers succumbing to the pressure. He talks to Citadel about wanting out of the experiment but Citadel tells him that he never had a choice. Titan tells Citadel that he will kill Kayleigh if Mr. King doesn't let him out of here. Citadel says that Mr. King would've kept her out of this if he cared enough to avoid a situation like this. This leads Titan to kill Ghost as seen in the first movie. Behind the scenes, Adelio King is furious as he would have preferred Kayleigh to die if it was at the hands of the experiment and not because of Adam's petty rage. This then leads to Titan's death at the hands of the trap, purposefully set by Adelio King to get back at him.

The last 30 minutes is then "The Fourth Chapter", detailing the events after the third movie.
