Movie Review: The Experiment (2010)
Just want to share something about the movie that i just finished watching, The Experiment, in case you interested to watch it.
The Experiment is directed by Paul Scheuring and starring Adrien Brody, Forest Whitaker, Cam Gigandet and Maggie Grace.The film is also a remake of the 2001 German film Das Experiment.
The Experiment is a film about psychological tests performed on 26 guys chosen to participate in the roles of guards and prisoners in a psychological study. They are offered with $14,000 for two weeks to live int there, it is easy-earned money.
They are videod and given a regiment of “normal” prison life to discover how they will react or change from their principals stated during initial interviews. At first the group are divided randomly into prisoners and guards, and given some task about not to fight etc etc but mainly about violence attempt. If it do happened, they will be release. But it only takes 6 days for violence to begin.
Sounds interesting but ultimately nothing much happens. Truthfully, i didn’t really understand the movie until i read the synopsis. It helps a bit.
Regarding the acting, I thought Adrien Brody did a pretty good job and Cam Gigandet was delightfully nasty as he usually is. On the other hand, Forest Whitaker was absolutely awful, as always.
