Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

A Masterpiece!

It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Okay, little different review this time. Let's gather the stars. I really like and hunt this kind of movies. Trapped/surviving kind of films. Especially when actors and filming scenes are very limited. I really like that. This gives alone 3/10 stars to any movie.Let's continue. About the story line and script. It's pretty dumb. You actually do not know anything what's going on. No, not even when the movie ends. This... Ah.. This feels like just pointless. I really can't even say what they were researching. Script goes just way too far and it gets complex and confusing. Is that good movie when you don't get the idea of the film? Or what is happening? I don't think so. No stars this time. 3/10Next the execution. All the actors did quite good job. They acted well and the atmosphere was intriguing and mysterious, somewhat tensed through the whole movie. But one word about that situation with woman... I hate it. I-f******-hate-it. Generally any movie which has the situation where someone do something, and suddenly that action was only imagination/dream, should be rated 0/10. It's most idiotic thing in the movie industry. BUT, apart from that, the filming was executed quite nicely. Let's give 2 stars from here.Conclusion 5/10. Good acting and the style of filming save this movie from catastrophe. I didn't like the screenplay. It's just too weird and profound for my taste. Not the best movie, but not the worst. Average movie in trapped/surviving genre.

This is one of those dumb thrillers that you straight away give up on, in terms of expecting a logical wrap-up. You just know: "Whatever they do, no matter how hard they try, they will not be able to make any of this make sense in the end. It would take sheer one-in-a-million genius to tie up this nonsense in any kind of half-way logical and rational manner". In fact, even this is an optimistic notion. The movie goes above and beyond the call of duty and serves up an explanation far dumber than could be expected even by the likes of myself. They truly "exceeded all expectations" by coming up with a twist that even an amoeba would be embarrassed to stick into its script.So just how dumb is the movie? The premise: a mysterious organization conducts violent, murderous, sadistic experiments on random U.S citizens, as part of their "mind control" experiments. The silver lining in all this nonsense: the movie turns out not to be about mind control because, frankly, that'd be too dumb, even for the likes of De Palma, Stephen King, John Woo, Dario Argento or Hitchcock – the masters of illogic. You collect a bunch of people to have them killed one-by-one in a room to find out which one has ESP powers? That would have been the dumbest premise of all time. Or not? Astoundingly, the real explanation turns out to be actually even sillier: the point of the whole sadistic nonsense is to find people who'd make good suicide-bombers against Islamic terrorists!!!!! (I hope I typed enough exclamation marks.) The rationalization being that you have to "fight fire with fire". Except that "fighting fire with fire" was never intended to be taken LITERALLY. Fighting fire with fire does not mean using the SAME weapons or strategy as the opposing side; it merely means using violence to fight violence, or to be just as ruthless as the enemy. (A very basic concept that peacenik libtards will never ever be quite able to grasp because they exist in a cozy Disney bubble which was created for them, ironically enough, by capitalism and military might which they consider the two greatest evils.)They could have just put out an ad saying "GOVERNMENT LOOKING FOR VOLUNTEERS TO BE SUICIDE BOMBERS". Stupid? Yes, sure. But even that would have made more sense – and certainly would have reduced the number of American VICTIMS – which this lunatic program was ultimately - supposedly - about. (The irony is so thick it could be used as a shield in a Star Trek episode.) A secret program that is intended to PROTECT U.S. citizens ends up killing hundreds!!!!! (Exclamation marks multiply without my control in this review.) Just what kind of an infantile mind comes up with these daft hollywoodisms? Does EVERYONE get free lobotomies and the best Bolivian mushrooms in Tinseltown? The first U.S. thrillers were dumb to begin with, they always were, but as the years go on they just seem to get progressively idiotic.Just think about it: America actually needing suicide bombers to fight extremist Islam. How exactly is that supposed to work in practice? Besides, doesn't the American military have plenty of superior weaponry to neutralize its militarily inferior enemies without having to strap bombs onto civilians? Or are the extremely zombified writers of this cretinous mess implying that Americans need to start killing the enemy's civilians randomly in order to beat them? That obviously wouldn't work because ISIS and the Taliban couldn't give a hoot about their own civilian casualties. Did Stalin give a hoot about Russian civilians? (After all, Islamic extremists mercilessly butcher each other all the time.) So, yes, the ENTIRE premise is idiotic – from every conceivable angle, not just from the point of view of the methods of recruitment they use, this idiotic "test" of patriotism and will.What will the sequel be about? Perhaps the military will seek to find people who can grow wings more easily than others. Will that entail experiments in which random civilians get thrown out of flying airplanes? "Mr. Stormare, this doesn't look good at all. We've pushed 190 non-volunteers from flying airplanes so far and none of them grew wings or at least showed the tiniest potential in developing flying skills." Or perhaps the sequel (appropriately titled "More Killing Rooms Coz We Just Love To See Them Squirm and Suffer For No Valid Reason") will be this inane mystery organization trying to collect Americans who have a high midiclorian count? In order to find these potential Jedis, "the organization" will hand out swords to captives and see which one of them loses the least limbs in a great big battle royale. Those who come out on top in sword-and-sorcery move up to the next experiment level which entails the guinea-pigs having to lift entire buildings with their Jedi powers. All who fail to do so get massacred on the spot by evil "genius" Stormare, who seems to enjoy killing civilians a tad too much for someone who wants to protect his country.Surely, even the dumbest movie-goers must have noticed how unscathed the black guy came out of after having been repeatedly pummeled by Hutton. That guy didn't have so much as a blood stain right after Hutton finished handing out vicious, numerous punches at him. That alone exemplifies the utter stupidity and laziness of the glue-sniffing clowns who concocted this drivel.

Decided to watch because of Chloe Sevingy and the good reviews on here, but I just finished watching and well i am quite disappointed. I didn't find it psychologically thrilling, suspenseful or original at all.I kept waiting for something to happen, some revelation or surprise, but nope.Had the potential to be really good if they took it all the way but i feel like they only took it half- way, if that, perhaps i was expecting more brutality, or…something, not that what happened wouldn't be horrible for the lab rats, but eh. I find the idea interesting but, i feel cheated out an hour and a half. I would say don't bother watching,

Much like the movie Exam, The Killing Room focuses on a room, and the four people who are situated in said room.The four think that they are there for some medical type research, and begin to fill in the mandatory paperwork.But after a sinister encounter with the person overlooking the whole scheme, turns a routine day in a literal fight for life.With every question given, one of the four will be killed off. What to do? Join forces, or plot against each other.The bonus thing about this film is that the four people in the from are relatively famous, so it's really hard to fathom out who will succeed, and who will perish, which usurps most movies like this, because its usually pretty easy to tell the chronology of who will go first.Other than that, it's pretty formulaic stuff. The group join forces, then one gets paranoid about the others, and one stays pretty quiet until the end.Timothy Hutton is the 'leader' of the group, and that's because he's been in more films than any other person in the room.Storm are puts in his obligatory bad guy schtick amiably, and Chloe Sevigny does perplexed and concerned pretty good throughout.Kudos to the very final reel though, it's pretty leftfield, and makes the whole film just that little more impressive.Not brilliant, but pretty good stuff.
