11!!Tropes for the film:
12* ImmoralRealityShow: The plot centers around a TV producer whose Series/AmericanIdol inspired show is based on six contestants playing a game of Russian Roulette, with the five survivors netting five million each. In the real world, that's incredibly illegal, but the movie circumvents that small detail by explaining that participants aren't 100% sure they'll die, so they aren't technically broadcasting a suicide. [[HollywoodLaw Sure]].
13* OneWordTitle: '''Live'''.
14* RussianRoulette: The movie parodies RealityTV by having an American TV executive use this as part of the ultimate ratings winning game show where ordinary people literally gamble their lives for a huge cash prize.
