Narm is for specific moments only, "the group's name is silly" is too general.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The story it's a perfect set-up for a discussion about death penalty and the carcery system as a whole, the limits of PayEvilUntoEvil and how much it's actually looking for justice and providing a deterrant (particularly with Joy) and how much it's actually just a need for self-satisfaction and ignore social responsibilities. The movie briefly touches the argument, but never really delves into them, and avoid any moral conundrum by making every contestant except the protagonist (who is actually innocent) an hardened criminal and unsympathetic character.

* CompleteMonster: The man known only as "[[{{Sadist}} the Host]]" is the psychopathic poster boy of ''The Jurassic Games'', a popular BloodSport where death row inmates are forced into a dinosaur-infested virtual reality where they fight to the death for the whole world to watch. Responsible for controlling the conditions of the cyber-world, the Host invents ways to [[CruelAndUnusualDeath painfully murder each of the contestants]], be it loosing prehistoric monsters on them to devour them; attaching [[ExplosiveLeash explosive collars]] to their necks that explode if they fail challenges; putting them in {{death trap}}s; or turning them against each other in hopes that they'll tear each other apart, the Host commits wanton human rights violations with a smile on his face. When contestant Anthony Tucker is proven to be innocent of his crimes, the Host reveals that he deliberately withheld this information to both exploit the man's plight for audience sympathy and to have an "epic twist" for the show's final round, before loosing a trio of Tyrannosaurs on Tucker and his rival for the grand finale. Unlike [[WellIntentionedExtremist his boss]], who genuinely despises the inmates for their heinous crimes and wishes them to endure the cruelest punishment, the Host simply uses the games as an outlet for his murderous impulses, seeing the inmates as the "best kind of sick" as they bring about " [[IfItBleedsItLeads the highest ratings]]".
