Pretty good movie overall. First half was nothing special but it got better as it went along.

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Raymond Sierra
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

A poor version of Battle Royale, nothing really original, as there have been numerous movies over the years sharing the same plot. There are lots of employees in this company, so the directors try to interest us in only a handful of them, which sadly does not go that well either, since we do not know any background information on any of these characters. The vast majority of this film is extremely blatant and predictable, you feel as if you have watched this movie a hundred times, because this movie has no fresh ideas, they just recycle the old gory scenes from older cult classics of the genre. When you make a movie of this sort involving a large amount of people, you need a way to kill them off and quickly, which takes a huge amount of suspense and fun out of it, since more than half of the characters are utterly useless, running and screaming providing next to no entertainment. If a situation like this occured in reality more than 6 out of 80 would be ready to fight until death just to survive and return to their families. Instead of that the complete opposite happens in this film, people die for absolutely no reason without giving any effort to survive. All in all, a movie you can easily pass on, nothing new, same old genre shticks overused into a compilation of really bloody and unoriginal scenes. The ending of this movie implies an obvious sequel, which could be a potential possibility to make things right, since the premise of this sequel seems to be much more interesting. If you love this survival horror genre, there are far better movies to watch, for example, ''Battle Royale'', ''Nine Dead'', ''Circle'' and ''Exam'' just to name a few.

Always love this idea but this was poorly executed. So what is this super alloy the torch couldn't get thru? No explanation of this. No character development and my biggest pet peave. So if 30 people were killed not 29 how would of stage 3 worked? Exactly the same way only one person would leave. I could write a novel about this movie being bad but I will spare you. Good gore effects is all.

"The Belko Experiment" is a thriller horror movie in which we watch a social experiment taking place in an American corporate office in Bogota of Colombia. This social experiment is very simple, you have to kill and not be killed by someone else. The winner would be the last survivor. I have to admit that I expected more from this movie and that's why I was disappointed by it. It's a bad copy of "Battle Royale" and "The Hunger Games" due to its low budget and an average cast. Of course, the main difference is that it takes place in an office and on an island. Despite that, I liked the interpretations of John C. McGinley who played Wendell Dukes and John Gallagher Jr. who played Mike Milch. The direction which was made by Greg McLean was average due to the lack of twists and a good plot. To sum up, I believe that "The Belko Experiment" is an average movie with a poor plot and not many good scenes. If you have high expectations from this movie it would be good to reconsider watching it if you want to watch a movie just to spend your time then this is your movie.

Well, here goes my first simple, short and basic review. The Belko Experminent actually wasn't as bad as expected after reading several reviews; but it also wasn't that great either. Ill try to keep this as short and sweet as possible:Positives:Fun - didn't find myself bored at any point
Gory - Rather creative with the effects and methods of death
Cast - poor dialogue for what seems a rushed film, although the acting wasn't all that badNegatives:Plot - washed up idea used several times with many many many plot holes
Romance - pathetic and unnecessary loved up part of the movie which plays no relevant part in the film at all
Ending - clearly rushed with not much thought put into it, closing scene is expected.Conclusion:Enjoyable, gory film that looks promising to begin with, but after an hour you find yourself looking at the time hoping the ending comes soon; and when it does, you guessed it anyway.
