REVIEWS:

“Director Greg McLean once again delivers a lean, efficient thriller that makes the most out of a limited setting. As Wolf Creek 2 showed, he's fully capable of capturing the bleak, dark humor of horrible situations”: www.screenanarchy.com

“This makes a bloody, unpleasant series of murders the only reason to see "The Belko Experiment." Director Greg McLean ("Wolf Creek," "Rogue") fails to distinguish himself during medium close-up shots of heads exploding and torsos flailing”: www.rogerebert.com

“Though there are plenty of bit players here, McLean and Gunn do a fine job of distinguishing a large number of characters in circumstances that soon grow very hectic, with some of the more notable ones played by Melonie Diaz, Owain Yeoman, David Del Rio, Michael Rooker, David Dastmalchian, and Rusty Schwimmer”: www.variety.com

“The Belko Experiment boasts an impressive lineup of both new and veteran character actors, most of whom turn in respectable work here, yet are squandered in irritatingly one-note characters. The dedication to their roles is one of the only bright spots in what ends up being a truly loathsome exercise in unnecessary violence”: www.ign.com

STORYLINE: In a twisted social experiment, 80 Americans are locked in their high-rise corporate office in Bogotá, Colombia and ordered by an unknown voice coming from the company's intercom system to participate in a deadly game of kill or be killed.
