The tragedy of this film is really two-fold: First, if you are a fan ofAdrien Brody or Forest Whitaker (and respect them as brilliant actors),you have to empathize with their probable shame of having participatedin the film at all. You will be much better off getting Das Experiment instead. If you have bought, borrowed or downloaded this copy, please burn ordelete it. ![]() Mix this with the poor script-rewrite that put inunnecessary scenes and dialogues and that took out some of the mostbrilliant scenes in the original, and you get a straight-to-videoproduction that will never be looked back on by movie fanaticsanywhere, anytime. The casting was terrible, even before the experiment, I couldimmediately identify which characters were to become guards, and whichones prisoners. It's also very obvious he's not doinghalf the acting that Moritz Bleibtreu performed in the original. His actions seemed ridiculous put againstthe prison-experiment backdrop, so terribly written so that there isn'tany true logic to his rebellion. I couldn't even properly empathise with the maincharacter played by Brody. Even the presence of two giftedactors (Brody and Withaker) cannot rescue the poor cinematography andawful diluted script. It's a pale and poor remake of the brilliant German movie 'DasExperiment', which blew my mind first time I saw it. ![]() ![]() It's as if the title 'The Experiment' refers to Hollywood finallytrying to create a remake that surpasses the original.
