The plot has been done to death, and it doesn't really offer anything new or unique. Doesn't come close to the heights of the likes of Battle Royale. But it's entertaining enough and there's some pretty funny bits.
I don't seem why people think this movie was crappy... i think it was actually quite a great movie the ending was amazing seeing all of those people who have gone through the exact same thing as him and i hope the sequel comes out soon because the first one was just fabulous... the only fault is obviously its easy to predict who is going to live... the one innocent character whom would never dream of killing not in the worst of situations but here it is he killed quite a few people and he has become more smart - he put the bombs into those guys very quick and without them knowing for his plan .
As they say people surprise you for the best and for the worst. There are people who try to do their best when things get complicated and others the opposite. I liked the final scene.
The Belko Experiment is really fun. It has a short run time and an interesting premise that it happily rides through the whole film. The cast doesn't have any big names but there are some very talented people in the mix. James Gunn wrote the script for this movie and I think that the movie would be more memorable if he had directed it. I do think there is some potential for this to be a cult favorite years down the road I just wish that the movie was a little more unpredictable then it would've kept the stakes higher. The people you expect to live the longest do just that.
Battle Royale in the office! Not the greatest film in the world but enjoyable enough.
2nd time Merle Dixon became a zombie...poor guy...what just happened??
Surprisingly much better than you would imagine from a B film. Full of known and even liked B list actors, good writing though corny at times. Its what you expect but a little better.
This movie was dumb, aggressively dumb. It was like someone watched Battle Royale and thought to themselves, I can do that. How dare they leave it open ended. This doesn't deserve a sequel.
Wow, people in closed space killing each other, how original. Waste of time unless you get off on gore, you psycho
Not a very original movie and the ending is pretty stupid in many ways, but overall very enjoyable. It also pushes the envelope a bit on the killing department, which is nice in this kind of movie.
This wasn't worth my time... A more light-hearted tone seems to be more James Gunn's forte given his previous efforts. What should have been the major drawing point of the movie - the massacre - has zero creativity or fun to it. It's executed as memorable as any of the characters. It is really too shallow to warrant any other direction anyways. The ending is also sad sequel bait.
Greg McLean didn't do much wrong here but then, he seemed to be willing to direct this :(?
omg this movie is simply amazing!! dont understand why it's getting a low rating..one of the best movies i've seen from James Gunn...well except the guardians movies ofc they are the best of his work but this one comes right after...that man is freaking brilliant!
yeah its full of cliches and nothing original but it well written and well executed and I wish that they will work on another sequels
Simple, fun, crazy movie. Pure entertainment. It's worth just watching for John McGinley. He plays the same character in everything, but he is always just perfect.
It's easy, entertaining, bloody.
Not a masterpiece but will keep you on the screen for that hour and a half, I did non expect the endind
Meh... I've had this in my watchlist for ages and finally decided to give it a watch; boy was I disappointed. There's absolutely no storyline to explain all the "why's" in this movie so even at the end of it, you're still left with no clue as to why all this happened. All you know is a group of people are suddenly instructed to kill each other "or else..." After halfheartedly shrugging it off for a little bit, thinking it's a gruesome prank, suddenly the most base of human instincts kicks in (survival) and chaos ensues. But no explanation. That, along with the lack of really gruesome kill shots, was the most disappointing thing about this whole film. There was one really great scene but even that seemed like the filmmakers were to squeamish to really look at what was happening, while it was happening: they kept cutting away and/or lessening the impact of the "kill" so you really didn't get that shock-worthy impact of an extremely violent death. Apart from that one death (you'll know it when you see it), there was not much that was noteworthy or memorable about this film. The acting wasn't bad, but I mean, 97% of the movie was pure chaos so how do you "emote" that on screen? Several recognizable faces in here but even they couldn't save this one. It wasn't a "bad" movie, but it was extremely forgettable and there was absolutely no substance to it whatsoever. I would advise skipping this one; even at a mere 87 minutes, it isn't worth your time.
I enjoyed it but it also wasn't as good as I hoped. It has a quite interesting concept but wasted with unimaginative execution. It just never feels like it gets the most out of its premise and the office setting is underutilized. It's also taking itself way too seriously and could've been a whole lot better with no guns involved. A fun time overall but honestly though, I'd recommend Joe Lynch's Mayhem instead.
Just like the Hunger Games, but with guns and much worse!!!
i'm living for the b list ensemble cast. i recognize so many faces and i have no idea where from except for merle dixon! weirdly well-suited for the battle royale office expansion.
Mystery, chaos and blood and gore with people being put to the test both mentally and physically, all for the ending to be tragic anyway. Soooo much potential for this to turn into sequel.
it's like a mmix between The Purge/The Maze Runner! good movie kinda weird ending for me!!
fun and stressy. i like
A good watch and nothing new and would like to see another from that ending..
Very boring and nosense. I mean, its not finished the story yet but still...
The idea was ok. The execution was not that ok. Very shallow sadly.
Film deneysel bir çalışmadan bahsetmekte fakat deneyde bağımlı veya bağımsız bir değişken söz konusu değil ; aksine tamamen dış müdahaleyle nihai sonuca varma var ,dışardan bir yönetim söz konusu. Bu durumda da içgüdüsel tepkiler verilmesi beklenen ,doğal davranışlar sergilemesi beklenen kobaylar yönlendirilmekte ve seçenek gibi sunulan durumlar zorbalık .Çünkü seçenekte seçmeme özgürlüğünüz de vardır ,eğer seçmeme özgürlüğünüz yoksa bu bir zorbalık olur .. 5/10
Quite enjoyed it not a bad film
Liked the idea, it has happened before but it was enjoyable with some gory deaths and the story was half ok. Didn't like the ending.

Very well written film, that plays on the typical movie cliches. Its very well directed and so entertaining, some great performances, will undoubtedly be a cult classic in years to come.
