The Belko Experiment. Written and produced by James Gunn, and directed by Greg Mclean. The names are not among the most famous in the film industry, but at least Gunn has taken part in the work of several famous films. So, what can you expect?The movie has a very typical thriller based plot, and after reading the description on Nexflix I was drawn to watching it. The film has good cinematography and sound, and it movies forward quickly. Still, it failed too keep me engaged because of how predictable it is. The acting and preformance was not hte best either. Because of this, the movie comes in the bundle of "basic films" , it doesn't stand out. It wasn't a amazing movie, but still worth my time.
'The Belko Experiment (2017)' has an interesting central premise that unfortunately doesn't stand up to much scrutiny and isn't helped by an unambiguous ending that simultaneously reveals too much without explaining anything. The core concept, mostly in terms of the villains' motivations and the validity of their experiment, falls flat when you think about it for more than a few seconds, but it could be trying to 'satirise' the way they justify their actions as opposed to presenting their justification as legitimise. Still, the wider 'satire' isn't quite as successful as it perhaps should have been, or was intended. Some silly moments punch through the generally realistic tone and the tangible violence - which is helped by wonderfully splattery and gruesome practical effects - offers plenty of brutal enjoyment, though. It's just that the story and characters are somewhat lacking. 6/10
As a Latina I have to say that I was a little offended by this movie, first the beginning song seemed disrespectful to me to change the lyrics, some Latinos will understand. Second in Colombia flamenco music is not used, that is in Spain, a country where Latinos are really hated. They should have investigated a little more. Thank you.
Always love this idea but this was poorly executed. So what is this super alloy the torch couldn't get thru? No explanation of this. No character development and my biggest pet peave. So if 30 people were killed not 29 how would of stage 3 worked? Exactly the same way only one person would leave. I could write a novel about this movie being bad but I will spare you. Good gore effects is all.
