Tony Goldwyn Being One Of The Only Good Things About The Film
9 October 2023
Warning: Spoilers
Pros: 1. The film is remorseless in its sheer brutality. It offers up an uncomfortable truth about human nature.

2. The practical effects in regards to the gore are incredible.

3. Tony Goldwyn (Barry Norris) delivers an incredibly nuanced performance which helps to add depth, not just to his character, but to the story as well.

Cons: 1. How would Mike Milch (John Gallagher Jr.) know where they implanted the tracer/ bomb in his skull?

2. There are far too many characters that the film tries to focus on which leads to very little development or meaningful focus.

3. There are a load of very strange character decisions by the writers, like Wendell Dukes (John C. McGinley) playing a pervert or Marty Espenscheid (Sean Gunn) being a hippie - they add absolutely nothing to the story.

4. The editing during the death scene of Barry Norris adds an unintentional comical feel to it.

5. John Gallagher Jr. And Adria Arjona (Leandra Florez) have no chemistry together despite being the lead couple you're supposed to root for.

6. Somehow, even though they surveyed the entire building, Belko completely misses Mike Milch taking explosives with him.

7. The end reveal of the simulation being part of a simulation is utterly redundant and obviously serves to try and set up another movie.
