Review of The Experiment (2010) by Jason C — 19 Oct 2010
Inferior remake of Das Experiment. It has its good moments and Brody and Whitaker are awesome. I have a few problems with it however, from the stupid things like Brody looking like John Lennon to the fact that I find Whitaker not as imposing now he is thin lol.
The biggest problem tho is how obvious it all is. You can tell who will be the guards before they do as it seems the powers that be just picked the pricks led by Whitaker's repressed Mommies boy. The prisoners are surplus to requirements as it seems the only one that matters is Brody's nice guy wouldn't hurt a fly make love not war hippie.
Also who is supervising this stuff? Watching from behind the cameras? In the German original these people were characters and it added to the movie. Why do they not halt proceedings when Whitaker kills someone and more so why after does Whitaker just get back on the bus like nothing happened.
Not the reaction of a man who had taken a life methinks and for that shitty ending alone it lost a star in my rating *nods*.
