Review of Circle (2015) by Peyton P — 06 Mar 2016
Extremely provocative, Circle is a remarkably daring science fiction drama. Inspired by 12 Angry Men, the film follows a group of people that have been abducted and placed in a room with a laser that kills a person every two minutes, and they most vote on who dies until only one person is left standing.
The script is especially well-written; capturing the confusion and desperation of the situation. And the dialog gets incredibly raw as the characters let loose their prejudices, beg for their lives, and rationalize killing.
However, the film never really answers the question of why this is happening to these people or the purpose behind it. Full of mystery and suspense, Circle delivers a visceral experience that leaves the audience on the edge of their seats.
