Best movie of this year hands down!

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

The thing I enjoyed most about the film is the fact that it doesn't shy away from being a super-sized-cliche;

A 'true' story about fraudulent researchers led by a chief fraud. Except that it doesn't show any of the fraud and hence is not that 'true'. The outing of Zimbardo, the chief researcher as a fraud may be a bad thing for the movie but a good thing for science.

Disturbing film leaves you wishing for more clarity but I guess you can interpret the results for yourself. Maybe the director pulled his punches in the end for it lacks a real resolution. But this may be one movie where the director knows it's best to present the facts without interpretation.

The idea for this movie is good. It could have been exploited better. Nevertheless it is worth a watch and there is some good acting. it puts the psychological in psychological movie, but again, it could have been better if it didnt try to stick close to the real events.

Although this version is not bad, it still has this "American Hollywood" vibe.There is a German version from 2001 (I don't know if this is the first movie ever made from he book) which I like better. The American version is a little bit "to clean" to my taste. The German version has a more realness to the movie.It also stars a great actor, Moritz Bleibtreu, who also plays in Lola Rent. If you haven't seen it, SEE IT!
