Popcorn vs Kernel

5 Popcorns = Must see!
4 Popcorns = You'll probably like it.
3 Popcorns = Go in the morning when there are cheaper ticket prices.
2 Popcorns = Maybe rent it.
1 Popcorn = Wait for a friend to rent it and watch it with them.
Kernel = Don't see it at all. Ever.

The Belko Experiment (2016)






Directed by: Greg McLean

Written by: James Gunn

Starring: John Gallagher Jr., Tony Goldwyn, & Adria Arjona




So this film has no huge stars.   The biggest being Goldwyn from Scandal, but the film is well done overall.

In Columbia is Belko Inc.  Various people work in this company, mostly Americans, that help other companies outsource their workforce.  The company itself seems ridiculous, but the story continues with the doors and windows being shut on them with an intercom system announcing that it practically just became The Hunger Games.  At first, it seems like a joke, but when people's heads start exploding, the characters go into fight or flight mode.

The film is extremely entertaining and you end up rooting for your favorite character.  (Mine died, by the way.)  At the end of the film you're eager for more and may get it if the film does well.  But considering how much it is advertised in the media, it's unlikely there will be a sequel.

Nevertheless, I recommend everyone go see this film to enjoy a great action game show type film.

4 popcorns.
