Review of Tank 432

Tank 432 (2015)
1/10
Nothing is real and all is dull

Warning: Spoilers
Nothing is real and everything is horrible: that seems to be the message.

It starts as if it were a tale about mercenaries in some near-future or alternate world in which independent band of mercenaries fight each other. We follow a band with two hooded captives called 'The Cargo'. The mercenaries seem to be expecting payment for them.

Then they behave like silly kids, getting themselves stuck in the tank without taking the simplest precautions with what is a visibly deteriorated machine.

Then we get the typical smart-Alec scriptwriter twist - maybe nothing is real. Strengthened when a man with a massive leg injury the previous day is able to dance about on the tank.

Or maybe it is real. The end suggest this, with monsters commanded by an apparent human treating the people like experimental animals. Of course it resembles a profoundly ignorant person's vision of what science might be, not science as it might be practiced even by people with no human concerns.

Wish I had not wasted time with it. Any fool can set a riddle with no solution.
