It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes

Due to some scenes being too dark and others ending too abruptly I wasn't always sure exactly what was happening. The film is nevertheless well done, so well in fact, that I found it difficult watching some of the scenes. Quite brutal at times.

What starts like a tension filled plot driven thriller, located in a very small space and with a secluded cast, turns into a campy slasher type film where killers pursue and heros try to run. It begins to devour cliches from movies of the genre (expect the dog, the dog was a good touch) including the very classic "the hero turns as bad as the villains".The real deal of the movie (besides the toxic, opressive atmosphere) is Patrick Stewart, because he plays a rock and roll germanophile negative nazi leader, and also wears a sweet hat.

A punk rock band is traveling the Pacific Northwest looking for gigs, living out of their van, siphoning gas when needed. They get a matinée gig at a skinhead club. As one of the members returns to the dressing room...or green room for a forgotten cell phone, he espies a stabbed young lady on the floor. Rather than play it cool.... and the next thing you know the band is locked inside with one of the guys talking about his paint ball experiences.Once the real action started, the film got boring as a been there done that type of thing. In spite of being skinheads, they were clearly Hollywood skinheads, a bit too civilized to create chills. Rental at best.Guide: F-word. no sex or nudity.

'Green Room' matches the intensity and grimness of writer/director Jeremy Saulnier's breakout effort 'Blue Ruin', but lacks the soul that made that film so haunting and tragically poetic.It stars the late Anton Yelchin in another low key, naturalistic performance alongside a cast of young character actors who really sell the authenticity of this world. It's grimy and dirty and frightening, and that's even before the violent mayhem starts. The atmosphere is dripping with bad vibes and simmering with an undercurrent of violence, and this feeling is mostly thanks to a convincing cast and some tautly engineered direction. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the cast is Patrick Stewart as the neo-nazi establishment owner who coldly calculates the demise of our main characters. Once you get past the fact that it is Sir Patrick (The Sci-fi Nerd King) breaking some bad, he really is quite chilling to watch.The film has several disturbingly violent sequences that escalate with each new confrontation until a fairly scattershot climax and it mostly makes for a tense watch. However, because the characters aren't explored in any significant way it supplies us with only superficial thrills via the visceral nature of the violence depicted and the fact that we naturally prefer that the underwritten heavy metal rockers win out over the underwritten nutball Nazis who are trying to slay them. It's ultimately just a dirty indie remake of John Carpenter's 'Assault on Precinct 13', but it does a good job of living up to its heritage.
