Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

Odelecol Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Kamila Bell This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

mmanderson45 Crappy beginning middle and end. Literally no closure at the end. Hoped for an explanation for the stupid movie but nah.

Gareth Crook The Belko Experiment, Saw meets Battle Royale. Not a patch on either of those films, but the slightly lo-fi production really gives this an edge and it's very effective. Kill or be killed. Good guys, bad guys, really bad guys. It's a moral bloodbath!

Scott LeBrun John Gallagher, Jr. ('The Newsroom', "10 Cloverfield Lane") stars in this attempted satire / bloodbath, referred to in one quote as "Office Space" meets "Battle Royale". He plays Mike Milch, just one of 80 employees working in an American corporate office in Bogota, Colombia. (Just what it it that this company actually does, nobody knows.) One day, the regular security detail is gone, and a disembodied voice (Gregg Henry) informs the people in this heavily isolated building that they have now been placed in a genuine do or die situation. The building is sealed off, and now these office drones are ordered to either start killing each other, or get the "tag" implanted in each persons' head to be detonated.This is nothing we haven't seen before, to be honest. Written and co-produced by James Gunn ("Slither", "Guardians of the Galaxy"), who was originally set to direct, it's yet another examination of human behaviour. More to the point, it's the portrayal of human beings under extreme stress. Who has what it takes to survive? Who's willing to murder other people non-stop in order to ensure their own survival? As Gunns' story plays out, some people naturally consider their lives more important, and panic is pretty much the order of the day. Mike is one of the few individuals who tries to keep a level head.Directed by Greg McLean of "Wolf Creek" and "Rogue" fame, "The Belko Experiment" may be patently unpleasant and ridiculous, but it's never, ever boring. One problem is that with so few characters for whom one can actually root, the viewer is likely to end up wanting to see EVERYBODY meet a glorious, hideous demise. But who, knows, that may have been the point. The movie is certainly good for some non-think, over the top, visceral mayhem with tons of digital splatter. It wastes little time, beginning the story proper with just a bare few introductions to characters.Say what you will about the characters involved: this viewer had to develop a grudging respect for the head honcho played by Tony Goldwyn ("Ghost"), who adopts an utterly ruthless attitude and racks up an impressive kill count.Other familiar faces include the always reliable John C. McGinley ('Stan Against Evil') and Michael Rooker (the latter a Gunn regular, as is Henry), as well as Rusty Schwimmer ("Jason Goes to Hell: The Final Friday") and Abraham Benrubi ('E.R.').Punctuated by some amusing black humour, "The Belko Experiment" managed to keep this viewer interested despite the familiar scenario.Six out of 10.

mumbdaddy SPOILERS! When I heard the concept, I was excited. It was marketed as "Office Space meets Battle Royale." It was not. The first thirty minutes are promising but it's all downhill from there. You have a horror film that has John C. McGinley and Michael Rooker and they aren't even the main antagonist? McGinley is more like a side character. He could've been a great main baddie. Like an evil Bob. Instead he's just playing creeper, and not even a likable creeper. Haha. Rooker is totally wasted as well. Tony Goldwyn, while a competent slimeball in Ghost does not seem like he should be the main baddie, a special ops guy who easily gets bludgeoned at the end? That's one of many nitpick things (killing off Dany in a lame way, not even a struggle; lame payoff). The movie doesn't know whether it wants to be funny or serious. It should've been played for laughs (a la Cabin in the Woods), instead it's just kind of depressing. Most of the people who get mowed down don't deserve it. If anything, the cast is good, to their credit...most notably James Gunn. But yeah, disappointed.
