Why so much hype?

It is a performances centric movie

Fun premise, good actors, bad writing. This film seemed to have potential at the beginning but it quickly devolves into a trite action film. Ultimately it's very boring.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

StoryLine: one test soldier is going being to be tested for the effects of krakos similar to the drug in jacobs ladder film Which is distributed around the test site with differing degrees of strength, 1 member or the test subject has had his memory wiped the rest were given code names the rest believed they were outside the test and was given periodically by the medic the antidote under the pretense of pain management. Unwittingly by the test subject the group entered a battlefield simulation. The groups job was to coerce the subject towards the tank number 432, 431 is the amount of simulations and test subjects that have already performed up to date and this is tank 432. on their way, they perchance to come across the last group before they could be cleaned. they died in a locked and contained building whilst ingesting krakos. The cover was kept from the test subject by the group pretending that they knew them. They eventually get to the tank and entered. There was a pretense that the door was locked to keep the subject inside for maximum and heightened experience from ingesting krakos after a few days of being locked inside the subject did not die as suspected. So the improvements being made to Krakos was being improved.Now the rest of the group realize that they are also part of the trial because they found the trial subject folders in the tank and there names were in there at which they all went from calm to panic mode.

I decided to give this movie a look since the description of it promised that it would be akin to something like the movie "Dog Soldiers", which was also made by British filmmakers. However, it did not take me long into watching it to make me wish that I rewatched "Dog Soldiers" instead. This is a really BAD movie. For one thing, the movie throughout refuses to give the viewers anywhere near a decent explanation as to what is going on with multiple plot points and the various characters. Sure, I can accept a little mystery, but not to the point where I don't even get the gist of what is going on. To make matters worse, the movie is really uninteresting. Most of the movie takes place in the title place, where the people inside constantly bicker and yell and go nowhere when it comes to trying to uncover what is happening. It doesn't help that the cast often speak in such thick accents that it's hard at times to figure out what they are saying. This movie is a pretentious mess, making you feel stupid while you are watching it for more than one reason.

Spoiler alertWell it's just bad writing. No premise, no character backstory so you don't relate to anyone and can't connect with the story. A bunch of blank slate characters going mad over some Cheetos Dust and a cliché "Reveal all at the last minute" strategy.I watched the whole movie just for the tank inside design... not much else is enjoyable. The bull taunting scene was pretty cringe to look at.

I am shocked that professionals wrote, produced, directed and acted in this movie. Maybe I am assuming too much.I've seen a lot of movies but one of the worst I have seen.So many holes in the story and not by design. So many things that just aren't natural for a human to react that way. Im guessing the tank was numbered 432 or something but if that is explained I missed it. Not sure what country designed that tank but it appears they are much bigger and and a lot more sound proof and sound deadening and on the inside than it appears. The tank also must have an odor disposal system in place too. ..but strangely enough, its not fireproof (sarcasm) I didn't check but I am guessing this movie was made in Europe some where. It reminds me a lot of "Dog Soldiers", but that movie is a lot better.The somewhat of a plot is also worn out....the evil military and government! ....experimenting again. Maybe I was part of the experiment and watching this movie is part of it....now that makes more sense, Its all becoming clear to me now.The only thing different about this movie is that we see a man crap and it shows us close up of his crap as its falling and flashes to his face of relief. Never saw that in a movie before(I'm sure its been done in some cheap fetish flick lol)....that's the biggest creative energy in the movie so if that excites you, then by all means watch away!
