ThiefHott Too much of everything

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

melissiti The premise of the film is valid and worthy of exploration. The execution of the film is a mixture of brilliant voyeuristic witnessing of how humans can react to extreme circumstances and of clichéd (yet in the context of the plot) inappropriate Hollywood techniques (the most annoying of which are the ludicrously unnecessary 'lunar space mission' communications we hear as the experiment progresses. Overall though, a very worthwhile watching experience with a genuinely surprising twist at the end. I, like many, was on occasion reminded of the Saw films but this is definitely far enough removed from them to make it valid and justified. Overall, a good, clever and satisfying film and I'm definitely going to watch the sequel.

Alina Elena I wanted so much to like this film. The premise sounded great and it really is the kind of movie I usually enjoy. Unfortunately, the tag line was the best part of this, it all when downhill from there. The story was bland and unappealing and the "big" twist at the end just makes you wanna slap the screenwriter.*Spoiler ahead* I guess they thought they were pretty clever by diverting expectations and showing the audience some stuff that doesn't actually happen. But instead it just makes the main character look like a heartless bitch. Which is even worse, as they previously showed her actually having a conscience.And the absolute WORST of all this was the sound constantly shifting from "barely audible" to "ear drum shattering". What the hell?! i couldn't make out what they were saying half the time. For a movie that has intellectual pretences, that is bad. So, so bad.

ICanNeverThinkOfAGoodUsername I don't really know what I make of this film. There is nothing good about it. It was almost a case of 'I need to keep watching because there's going to be a good part'. As outlined by others 4 people volunteer to take part in a paid experiment, and it turns out this experiment is a lot more sinister than they thought. I'd say the first 10 minutes is good. After that I simply cannot see the whole point of the film.At times the film was unbearable to watch. I felt like I was watching people being mentally and physically tortured. On top of that towards the end of the film... I could see no reason for this. At least if the film provided a justification for it I could make some sense of it.Spoilers ahead: What is the point of the film? To see how far people will go to? The guy at the end... I don't think he was killing himself for his country. He was killing himself because he knew he wouldn't survive.Why kill the girl when they didn't know her answers to the questionnaire? Overall, I just don't see the point of the film. I've really gained nothing from it.

FlashCallahan Much like the movie Exam, The Killing Room focuses on a room, and the four people who are situated in said room.The four think that they are there for some medical type research, and begin to fill in the mandatory paperwork.But after a sinister encounter with the person overlooking the whole scheme, turns a routine day in a literal fight for life.With every question given, one of the four will be killed off. What to do? Join forces, or plot against each other.The bonus thing about this film is that the four people in the from are relatively famous, so it's really hard to fathom out who will succeed, and who will perish, which usurps most movies like this, because its usually pretty easy to tell the chronology of who will go first.Other than that, it's pretty formulaic stuff. The group join forces, then one gets paranoid about the others, and one stays pretty quiet until the end.Timothy Hutton is the 'leader' of the group, and that's because he's been in more films than any other person in the room.Storm are puts in his obligatory bad guy schtick amiably, and Chloe Sevigny does perplexed and concerned pretty good throughout.Kudos to the very final reel though, it's pretty leftfield, and makes the whole film just that little more impressive.Not brilliant, but pretty good stuff.
