Green Room (2016)

This was on my to-watch list for quite a while before I gave it a chance. Holy crap this movie is good. Not ten stars good, obviously, but man it throws some curve balls. All of the actors were competent and believable. The tension builds and builds. The ending was stereotypical but didn't detract from the film at all. Wonder how much time Patrick Stewart had to spend in makeup to play a skinhead lol.

I read lots of bad reviews about this film, before i saw it, so didn't have high hopes, but i really enjoyed it. I was wanting to know how they were going to escape, and enjoyed the action some of the gore was too much and i had to look away, basic premise ,punks fight skinheads in building. in order to escape them.lots of gore, fights ,shooting, just what you want,some punk songs. if your expecting the expendables budget you will be dissappointed, but if you like a horror/action film, you'll enjoy it

A hard-up band of punk rock musicians takes a gig in a white-supremacist venue in rural Oregon . After accidentally witnessing something they were not meant to see, their lives are changed forever."Green Room" succeeds as a suspenseful thriller. With one group of people pitted against another, the audience is left to wonder who will end up alive by the movie's end. It also reminds one of other movies that made a part of rural America into hell-on-earth. "The Hateful Eight" and "Winter's Bone" are two such movies that come to mind.As there is minimal characterization, this film can have only so much impact. Also, little is done with the white supremacist element of the story. But there is still good entertainment value in the film - at least for those of us who don't live in or near anywhere like the setting of this movie.

Yet another disappointment. I'm starting to believe the ratings system can't be relied on anymore. There's just so much junk out there with a relatively high rating of 7 or more, and when you watch it, it's just a total letdown.Take this movie for example. It's billed as a thriller/horror, yet at no moment is it ever scary or gory. The characters are bland and one-dimensional and you don't care if they live or die.The plot is just a joke. In the middle of nowhere in Oregon, there's a bar, where all the yokels, racists and neo-Nazis congregate. What, I guess BLM or Al Qaeda were too busy to take part in the shoot? Or was it just more convenient to make white males the bad guys again, because you know they won't complain, unlike if they were to cast one of the previous two groups... even though white male supremacists commit what, 0.0001% of the violent crime the latter two do? So yeah, once you see who's cast as the "bad guys," you know there was no real interest in making a semi-realistic thriller. This is just another hit piece from leftist Hollywood.The movie itself is slow. A band is locked up on a room backstage. Ooooh. Scary! Are you scared yet? No? OK, wait, a handful of neo-Nazis then tries to kill them. OOOOH!! Now you're scared, right? Yeah, I knew it! Yawn.... There are, oh, 7 deaths on both sides, before the laughable ending. Total letdown.The only redeeming value is in the cinematography, as the guys holding a camera and doing the lighting knew how to film in the dark, and they had the wherewithal to not use the shaky cam fad that so many other movies do. Too bad they're dragged down by a stupid story and a snoozefest masquerading as a thriller.
