its origins are in the Stanford Experiment ... how long would it take you to become a killer?

As a parable about the inherently dehumanizing aspects of the rat race, it's bloody good fun.

Unfortunately, as the film becomes bloodier and bloodier, it also becomes more and more deadening, with each subsequent death a little less shocking and impactful.

A one-note scenario that never ups the ante on itself, and never even bothers to use its extreme situation to send up office politics or corporate policies.

Good, clean - well, not clean - generic fun from Wolf Creek director Greg McLean, bolstered by a solid ensemble cast and impressive bloodwork.

Survival is human nature. But what happens after that? Belko leaves that up to its audience, but with little evidence to try and make a decent argument.
March 16, 2017
By the end of the film, you're left with the unshakable feeling that everyone involved, from actors to filmmakers to the audience, is, and should have been, better than material like this.

It is directed by Greg McLean and has an energetic performance by John Gallagher Jr as the unsplattable hero, but we've seen this Battle Royale or Hunger Games scenario too many times.

The Belko Experiment offers an intensified allegory of today's world of work - as well as the thrill of the hunt - all in an amusingly banalised milieu of lobbies, lifts and cubicles.
April 20, 2017
Bargain-basement satire and formulaic, seen-it-all-before bloodshed.
April 21, 2017
As grisly entertainment, it works, and it does have a mean bite, but it doesn't quite live up to its potential.

The unsatisfying result of all the berserk paranoia is predictable.Talk about a take-no-prisoners plot.

You may think of Dilbert one minute, the Nuremberg defense the next. No, really.

We live in disturbing times. Belko is an appropriately disreputable, gleefully disturbing movie.

For all its promise to be a wry commentary on the savagery of office politics, "The Belko Experiment" is more like an experiment in how many cracked-open skulls can be crammed into one movie.
April 20, 2017
A brutal little belter of a film, with satire and splatter laid on as thick as you like.
April 21, 2017
This is little more than a sadistic exercise in violence and death, more along the lines of the Saw series. And if it didn't have such a terrific cast, it would be unwatchable.

Vicious, mostly satisfying action.
