Absolutely Fantastic
A Masterpiece!
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.
Dreadful. This so-called thriller about a punk band who witness a murder and then have to fight for their survival is irredeemingly awful. It has a plot that makes absolutely no sense and bewilderingly bad performances from an otherwise decent cast. What's worse is that it generates no suspense but a fair amount of gore and a lot of noise and if that isn't bad enough it wastes whatever talent the late Anton Yelchin might have had, (he's totally miscast as a young punk), while Patrick Stewart should be thoroughly ashamed of himself for agreeing to appear in such trash. What's surprising is that writer/directorJeremy Saulnier had already shown his ablities with the excellent "Blue Ruin" so this marks a considerable come-down. We can only hope his new film "Hold the Dark" is an improvement or Saulnier's career is over before it's really begun.
This review contains spoilers.Green Room is a thriller about a band that is trapped by neo-Nazis. The movie follows the band from when they are performing at the bar to their capture and subsequent escape attempts. The movie has brutal spurts of gore as the band is forced to defend themselves.Green Room is a brutal movie with lots of gore. The movie is a low budget flick set in the same location for much of the movie as the band try to stay one step ahead of their captors. This is perhaps the movie's strength, the location becomes a characters as the death count rises and the characters explore more of the bar. The gore in this movie can border on excessive. Characters are hacked to death by the brutal neo-Nazi gang, but even this is to show how crazy the antagonists are.Patrick Stewart plays the leader of the neo-Nazi gang as he tries to corner the band. He does a good job portraying his character as he embarks on progressively violent tactics to kill the band members.The story in this movie is difficult to follow. The movie likes to present a character switching sides as a twist but it is not good to make only one quip and the rest of the characters simply accept it. The main character played by Anton Yeltsin is great as he portrays the desperate struggle his band undergoes.Green Room is recommended. The movie is a tight and intense thriller.
This movie was a fantastic tense thriller that had me hooked to the screen. With its very original script and brand of violence i have to say i was pleasantly surprised how i had no idea what would happen next moment even when i have pretty much seen every movie in this genre. It was very well executed ,with great acting and direction and sets an example for survival horror/thriller. The verdict 8/10, i liked it a lot and i think it's a great watch , the only thing that could have made it better was if it had a score/music to match the tension the movie generates coz i found it to be good just not great.
From the reviews that I saw online, it seems that this movie had gotten a lot of hype. So I decided to rent and watch it. And to be frank, it was a disappointment. The characters are one dimensional, boring and stupid. There are barely any character development whatsoever and I cannot feel any pity or care for them, and trust me, I tried. The only characters whom I'm able to tolerate is the blonde girl, and I love the dog but that's it. The plot is extremely predictable, unsurprising and stupid. I don't understand the meltdown that the group have gotten into when they saw that dead girl, I mean considering the place they're in, and all the violence that are pretty much natural in a place like that, why the fact that there is a dead body is shocking!? And why do they have to be contained like that? If the Nazis are planning to kill them, they should've just shoot them all and get rid of the bodies, you know, feed them to the dogs or burn them or something. The movie itself is not even thrilling or scary at all. I know a plenty of horror movies that uses jump scares to their advantage, yet this movie doesn't even use a single jump scare and it had completely failed to scare me. There are a plenty of people who calls this movie violent and brutal, yet most of the violence are pointless and it's not even as brutal as other horror/thriller movies. An the end of the day, this movie is a waste of time and I regret spending my precious money and 95 minutes to watch this.
