The Experiment

Director:  Paul Scheuring
Year: 2010

I give it: 7/10

I should go & throw myself off a bridge because I am commenting on a remake without watching the original. Hollywood is known to make messes out of great films, but this one didn't seem like much of a mess, even though, like I said, I shouldn't comment on it without watching the original first. Forest Whittaker is magnificent. Adrien Brody is okay. The film does look a bit hastily put together, too much happens in too little time. Nothing really sinks in. The soundtrack is pretty bad, makes the film appear very cheap & cheesy. It's an interesting plot though, if you haven't watched the original. But watch it for Forest Whittaker, if not anything else.
