Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic
MusicChat It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
TaryBiggBall It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
edwardrevans Before the boards were shut down there was a lot of debate regarding this movie as most who have seen it I personally think didn't understand who was the test subject.The premise is that this movie is based on project MKUltra and to test the human mind to see if it will be passive to what is actually going on in and around the characters environment.The movie need a directors commentary to substantiate or debunk my theory on this, as I have been on record before the movie is about Miss Reilly.
exceldriver2002 This is a pretty decent movie and is based on a lot of compelling psychological research. It is basically a sobering remake of the Manchurian Candidate.I watched this on My Rabbit TV download, and for the most part, the majority of movies on Rabbit TV are average, save for the documentaries. This movie caught my eye and when you research the backgrounds of some of the most recent spree shooters, Hassan (Fort Hood), Jared Loughner and The Batman Shooter in Colorado, it's not difficult to come away with a point of view that, "yes...this type of stuff is going on". I believe that if you don't consider that, you might as well just keep watching Mary Poppins and Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.The sound editing is for crap, which is really a shame. Otherwise, I would have given this film a higher rating. It's worth watching, if you have an open mind and you've "crawled down the rabbit hole" a few times.
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.
LeonLouisRicci This Movie has one Shocking Moment near the beginning and it goes absolutely nowhere from there. Nothing is at all Believable, although it is easy to believe that these types of Off the Books Nazi-Like Experiments are still being conducted even though MK-Ultra was Whistleblown, Congressionally Exposed, and then deemed Shut Down by the CIA. There are two glaring Blights that Perpetuate Modern Films. Mumbling, Muttering, Indecipherable Dialog and The Shaky Camera. This one Suffers from the Former. But that's the least of its Shortfalls. It takes a Fascinating Subject and Dumbs it down to a Horror/Schlock Level. Even at that it Slips, Stumbles, and Falls. The Feeble and Unrealistic Escape Attempts, the Ridiculous Riddles, and the Deer in the Headlights Performance by the Lead Actress are just a few worth mentioning.A Frustratingly Bad Movie that is Mishandled on almost every Level. Flatly Photographed, Shallow and Sophomoric Script, Wooden Acting, and Worst of all it takes a very interesting Subject and makes it Boring. A Misfire of a Magnitude that is Mind-Numbing.
