As someone who worked in a corn maze, I have one major gripe with this movie: Corn leaves fucking hurt. They cut you like nobody’s business, even if you’re just in there for a bit. Doing anything other than casually going through it will get you cut. And, here’s the kicker, corn has major oils on its leaves. You get cut by one of those things, and it stings like hell because of the oil on the leaves. Corn mazes also cultivate a very special kind of mushroom which is only found in corn mazes. In peak season, the stuff is all over the place. I’m not exactly sure if you can do anything with them, but it’s worth noting that I see none in this movie.

i think i would be a bit wary of giving a soldier i don’t know a weapon, since you don’t know if they are suffering from PTSD. i also think that the people will no combat experience will most likely need the protection more, but then again they could be more easily disarmed and may not be able to use the weapon as effectively. best to try to find a weapon for everyone!

Jordan Peele has basically proved that you can have an entertaining horror film with wise protagonists.

There was a film called Cube similar to this. Randoms wake up alone in cube shaped rooms. Some are death traps, and some are safe. Each person was picked because they had a necessary skill set to navigate, like an architect who worked on part of the structure or math major to decipher the clues to determine safe rooms or skills needed to keep the group together, like a cop for leadership or a psychiatrist to tend to the group's mental health. However, each was also selected due to a flaw. The cop was violent and had a thing for young girls. The math expert was just a high-school girl, and prone to be emotional, the shrink was a conspiracy nut. So each had a needed skill, but each had a flaw that could tear the group apart.
