The Belko Experiment review: Bloody, gory and a good bit of fun!

7.5/10 
It starts as a normal day at the office for employees of an American company based in Colombia. Suddenly blast walls are lowered in the small office tower, exits are closed and a malevolent voice over the office intercom orders people to kill or be killed.

A few have to die before it is believed that this voice means business. Soon it is hand to hand combat and survival of the fittest among maintenance, management, IT nerds and the rest of the workers. Weapons are in plentiful supply. So are theories as to how and why this is happening, what to do in response to the commands and whether people should band together or fight for themselves.

This intense, violent, funny and unpredictable film is fueled by capable actors and an intriguing plot with a decent pace. It says a lot about human nature. People divide into two camps; the manipulators and those with empathy for others. Yet both types tend to die when the lights go out and the blast walls go down. The unexpected twists to the story are wonderful and plentiful. Characters that I assumed would live, instead die gruesome deaths.

I have heard alot of stick about this film, about the script and the length of the film etc.. but i think Gunn has done extremely well with what he had available, Not perfect but it's not gonna be easy with a low budget and 80 odd characters to kill off in one office so kudos to you Gunn and thanks for a shit ton of fun! What detracted from the film is that there was little depth to the dialogue and the film was not shot where it was set (Colombia) and at times, because there was so many people it fealt a little rushed in some places otherwise not bad at all and a very fun watch and doesn't deserve the major negative criticism!
