Val Kilmer plays Jimmy who one day walks into a newspaper office and demands that the editor publish the most important story ever. The editor calls the police instead. Now we find out what this story is. Jimmy is convinced that the world will end in 2012 because of global warming. To prove what will happen to humanity in that event he has created an experiment that seeks to replicate the effects. He has lured 6 people via a dating service into a steam room and will leave them there to die, unless his story is published.We meet the 6 people that include Eric Roberts, a guy from Brooklyn, a male nurse, a neurotic girl, a waitress and some other girl. At first they get to know each other thinking indeed that this is some date. But they realize that the door is locked and they can't get out while it gets hotter and hotter in the room.Meanwhile, the cop is convinced that Jimmy is crazy, but he's also convinced that the story of the 6 people locked in the room is true. He goes searching for the room and finally interrogates Jimmy who isn't very cooperative until the cop is taken off the case.The people in the meantime are going crazy and start killing each other and themselves. We find out that Jimmy actually was a renowned scientist who lost his mind. At the end there is a twist.The Chaos/Steam Experiment is low budget but looks good and has a tremendous cast (Kilmer, Roberts, Assante, the lovely Mauro). What is missing is more story. Clearly they didn't have enough of it for a 90 minute movie. So we get a lot of repeating scenes and scenes in slow motion. The genre of people confined in a room is also done better elsewhere. Here fortunately, the bickering and yelling is fairly short and death comes quickly. You want to like this movie because of the performances and cast but the meager script, direction and production don't make it easy. The twist at the end is neat but comes late, once you've pretty much given up on things.

Let's keep this short and sweet. This movie is a total disaster. The plot makes no sense at all. The acting is dreadful. The writing is appalling. The music is absurd. The production must have been disastrous, as the movie is only 90 minutes long yet there are an enormous amount of padded super-slow-motion scenes. One scene was over FIVE MINUTES LONG, of nothing but actors gurning in slow motion while some pompous over-bearing music droned on. The ending is ridiculous. All in all, a total fail of a movie. I would have rather watched adverts for 90 minutes. The people involved in making this should never be allowed to make another movie again.

This was a truly wretched excuse for a film, which can be watched only with the assistance of a video game or something to keep your mind off of it. You've heard the premise that Bozo has six people locked in a steam room as hostages. However, it becomes clear that there's no actual connection. You'll never find out IF it happened, let alone why.The reactions of the hostages are idiotic even by survival scenario standards. After seeming years of morons emo-ing themselves and one another, one guy gets the notion to rip out the steam pipe. We chuckle as we await the rapid parboiling of the crew in steam from the ruptured pipe, but alas, it doesn't happen. But as soon as he thinks to use the heavy pipe to try to break out, the other hostages kill him for it. Eventually they get the notion to use the pipe to crack the window, great, but only so that they can drop it out of the room. It only gets worse from there. A five year old child would do better at an escape. It would make a good theater of the absurd except it's just too slow and stupid and there's no very good metaphorical point to be made, except that Americans are too darn dumb to worry about global warming, because they won't live that long except if they're lucky enough to be sold into slavery to wealthy PRC businessmen.The one and only redeeming feature of the film is that some of the actors and bare-breasted actresses are fairly pretty; though the director tried his best to make them look drab, greasy, with truly terrible personalities and generally undesirable. Those of us who delighted in Willow and at least admired in Fake Identity won't be dreaming about the Kilmer from this film.

I have seen posters and trailers for this flick. Even fangoria had an article about this dreg. The attention was out there because three actors from the eighties were in it, Val Kilmer, Armand Assante and Eric Roberts. Val is playing the main role. He's the villain, but what a performance he gives. Really, the fall of an icon, the fall of batman (you get it?). The only thing he has to do is stair into the camera or sitting at a table at a police office. One let down. So far I haven't seen a flick from Philippe Martinez. And I never will do it again. This is just tedious. It's more about Val then about the experiment. Oh yes, they promise that the experiment will take two days so lungs will explode and eyes will crystallize. But none of that happen. And even the performances in the sauna are a big let down. Eric Roberts was never one of my favorites and here again he shows me why. All we get in the sauna is a bit of arguments and a slashing throat, some fights and the best thing, but that's for later. Even all of that is so wooden, the blood flows a bit but never is frightening or whatever. There is a scene with a nail gun machine. You see the machine, You see the face of the scary girl, then it's bang bang bang and we see the result, not convincing at all. If you got three nails in your head well blood will flow. Here we see the nails, never in close up and a drip of blood. The reason that my collection has this flick is the fact that I found it on Blu Ray for 5 euro's. And now for the best part, Eve Mauro. If you want to see bouncy balls, well you will have two minutes of slo-mo and close ups. And if you can't get enough of her juggs go watch Wicked Lake.
