Reviewed by dizfunx 3/10 It's as if the title 'The Experiment' refers to Hollywood finallytrying to create a remake that surpasses the original. It's a pale and poor remake of the brilliant German movie 'DasExperiment', which blew my mind first time I saw it.
None of that with 'The Experiment'. Even the presence of two giftedactors (Brody and Withaker) cannot rescue the poor cinematography andawful diluted script. I couldn't even properly empathise with the maincharacter played by Brody. His actions seemed ridiculous put againstthe prison-experiment backdrop, so terribly written so that there isn'tany true logic to his rebellion.
It's also very obvious he's not doinghalf the acting that Moritz Bleibtreu performed in the original. The casting was terrible, even before the experiment, I couldimmediately identify which characters were to become guards, and whichones prisoners. Mix this with the poor script-rewrite that put inunnecessary scenes and dialogues and that took out some of the mostbrilliant scenes in the original, and you get a straight-to-videoproduction that will never be looked back on by movie fanaticsanywhere, anytime.If you have bought, borrowed or downloaded this copy, please burn ordelete it.

Theconcept was great and this was even before I found out it was based ona true story.' Like the sound of the above? Well don't bother watching this awfulAmerican Remake, watch the original German award winning film 'DASEXPERIMENT' which this snippet of a IDMB review was taken from. 'TheExperiment' lacks the intensity of the original. I found myself caringvery little about the characters. Don't be fooled by the employ offantastic actors such as Forest Whitaker and Adrien Brody.
Thereinclusion was a bit like employing Tiger Woods to play in the FIFAFootball World Cup, sounds good on paper but awful to watch. The storyhas massive holes in the plot which remain unexplained and an endingthat is about as satisfying as a chicken nugget. Overall the rewritingof such an intense drama and fantastic story has completely ruined it.
The concept of the film seems tailor-made for drama: a number of men are placed in a prison-type situation as a psychology experiment. What great fodder for dramatic interaction! Do they ever screw it up. The action (such as it is - and it ain't much) is predictable, the motivations for all are ridiculous and unbelievable, and the entire experiment happens far too quickly (yet the film drags so much) that it's impossible to buy into how the plot could have gone from Point A to Point Z without any points in between. If you watch it drunk or high maybe it would be funny, at least (or even just watchable) but viewed sober.it's just torture. Which may have been the intention of this experiment all along. The Experiment.
Definitely doesn't get the credit it deserves. While its extremely fast paced (even though some say its slow - which is not true), It has an interesting and intriguing storyline with great actors and some twists which, all in all, made me confused, excited, worried and even gave me an intense hatred for some of the characters. Whoever you are, I think you'll enjoy the film all in all. Try not to compare it to what most say it's a remake of - it's its own film and should be acclaimed for its self, without comparison to other versions. Fast paced and constant tension building throughout, which is just what I love in a movie. While it is not hugely thriller-like, or physiologically stimulating as may be expected, it is a great movie, especially for younger viewers (15+ as stated). Some explicit, adult natured themes should be expected, so kids should stay well away from this movie, however the worst stuff is fee and far between, so can be avoided - although you'll be missing some of the best parts of the movie.
Don't listen to those who say its awful - it's a great film, and don't knock it because of others opinions. Make your own judgement. Look, I'm a type of guy who doesn't like to get pretentious. Give me ablack-and-white Dawn of the Dead and a color version of Dawn of theDead, and I'll definitely pick the latter. The people complaining about the Hollywood remake in THIS movie,though, going on and on about the movie.dare I say it?. DasExperiment, are kinda like those guys who'd go for the black and whiteversion of Dawn of the Dead. Don't get me wrong- that's understandable.
Some people like the plotsand scripts in old versions. I can buy that. What I CAN'T buy, though, is giving this movie a 1 out of 10 becauseDas Experiment was better. I mean, dude, the acting was God-driven, andI have never been so angry at a character in my life. When I saw thatcrazy Whitaker get that hell-pounding from Adrien Brody at the end, Ifelt a burst of adrenaline pulsing straight through my brain and justjumping up and down.
I have not experienced that kind of satisfactionin a long time. Look, the movie's great. Tension, check.
Atmosphere, check. Acting,double check. The only things that bothered me were a couple of plotholes and the abrupt ending. I was kinda hoping they'd show more ofwhat happened after.
I get that the movie was based on the StanfordExperiment, but plenty of fact driven movies have blended creativeelements in for entertainment. But dammit, the movie was great.
You're missing out big time if youdon't watch it. Yeah, I get it, you guys think the German DasExperiment film was the real thing. But remakes don't always have to becrap, and The Experiment was amazing on its own. Conclusion: think of all those 1 out of 10 rate reviews that mentionDas Experiment as people who like the black and white version of Dawnof the Dead. They're just trying to sound smart. At first the development of the characters is well worded and driven, which leads seamlessly into a frenzy of moral adjustments later on in the film, when the plot has thickened so much so that the edge of the seat is perhaps the only place to be for the next hours viewing. This is very much an actor's film, gritty stuff that can only be carried by the brilliant acting that is in 'The Experiment' both lead roles are almost Oscar worthy.
The supporting cast manage to pull their weight too. The whole story and concept of this film is brilliant, very very dark, but very very brilliant.
You are often kept guessing as to what happens next and it is very unpredictable, very hard to call how this film is going to pan out. Many times it's a thriller, with hardly any comedy, if any, but this film did not need comedy. The dark and derelict feeling this film gives you is riveting, and there is many a moral lesson to be learned here, the main character really does carry himself well through his trials and tribulations and you are often in awe in how well he handles the situations he finds himself in. This film will leave you better off after having watched it, sure it's uncompromising but you will be pondering the significance of it for many days after. The ending of this film, although probably the correct way to do it, still left a feeling that you had been short-changed somehow, the makers could perhaps have given you an extra 5 minutes viewing to wrap things up, but when all is said and done, 'The Experiment' comes highly recommended.
Out of 10 for the following facets: Acting: 9 Grittyness: 9 Charm of characters: 8 Moral reflections: 9 Overall: 8.5. More at toot bit.com. If you're looking for a story that shows the goodness of mankind, or a tale of subtle changes in personality, move on, cause this isn't that. The premise and result of this film are simple and two fold. If you like violence, it gives you all you can have, both psychological and physical. As I said, the premise and result are twofold: the first is that of showing all sorts of violence in as raw a manner as possible, without being vulgar.
It does this most successfully. The second premise is showing one simple thing: we can and will all be broken under the right pressure. This is shown by the character played by Brody, not a violent bone in his body, yet before the end of the film, this all changes.
Overall it is a very impressive production, considering the basic concept of the story. The acting work is convincing, the set design eerie.
And the photography superbly effective. In the end you may not feel sympathy for any specific character, though I certainly did, but if you don't come away knowing that we are all just animals, I would suggest that you take the advise Brody gives his main counterpart in the film. The Stanford Prison Experiment was conducted in 1971 by psychologist Philip Zimbardo. It selected a random group of people and divided them into prison guards and prison inmates and then placed them into a recreated prison on the grounds of Stanford University for two weeks basically to see how they would adjust to their new roles.
The experiment was controversial and was aborted after only 6 days and its results and methodology are still considered questionable. 'The Experiment' is a sort-of recreation of that experiment, starring Forest Whittaker as one of the pretend guards and Adrien Brody as one of the pretend prisoners. The movie is extreme in its portrayal of what actually happened. Conditions in the actual experiment were apparently pretty bad (which is why the experiment was aborted early) but this movie exaggerates conditions. I can understand dramatic licence, but if one really wants to learn about the details of the Stanford Prison Experiment, there's a lot of material available, and the movie shouldn't be taken as an accurate depiction.
Having said that, the movie does make a psychological point, I suppose. Whitaker's Barris and Brody's Travis are basically pretty normal seeming guys who get put into situations in which their basic personalities and life experiences are put to the test.

Barris is 42 and lives with his mother - a kind of powerless guy who suddenly finds himself leading the 'prison guards,' while Travis is a 'peace-nik' who engages in anti-war rallies and doesn't believe in violence, who ends up as the leader of the inmates responding to the abuse they suffer from the guards. I suppose the point is that our basic personalities and how we react to circumstances are directly dependent on our circumstances. That point was made, but on the whole the movie took too many liberties with the actual experiment and as a result came across as little more than a fake prison movie, rather than as an account of the experiment.

Don't mind the bad review up there, whether you've seen or not theGerman original version, The Experiment still remains an excellentmovie with two great actors (and a great plot): Forrest Whitaker andAdrien Brody. Interesting movie that shows that even if we all pretendto have some kind of moral, we all still remain animals that will biteto defend our pack.
Sometimes you watch a 96mn movie and it feels likeyou were watching The Ten Commandments with Charlton Heston (don't meanthis is a bad film, it's just very long), but this one is the totalopposite! You'll be annoyed when the credits will appear at the end.Also, if like me you're a bit sick and tired of the current Hollywoodbuzz which consists to make many spy movies with a huge budget, youwill enjoy that film, because it's quite simple, only few rooms neededat location.

The Experiment has failed! The tragedy of this film is really two-fold: First, if you are a fan ofAdrien Brody or Forest Whitaker (and respect them as brilliant actors),you have to empathize with their probable shame of having participatedin the film at all.
As you watch 'The Experiment', it's not difficultto imagine the two actors sitting in some dimly lit bar each day afterfilming, drinking whiskey together in silence. Second, the script is poor. Or under-researched.
Or over-researched.Maybe both. Maybe their were too many producers sticking their nosesin.
I don't know. Imagine that you're a famous film producer and I'm pitching a movieidea to you.
'The Stanford Prison Experiment was conducted by Philip Zimbardo in1971. Students were selected and divided into 'prisoners' and 'guards'.The doctors stood back and watched the bedlam.' What do you think? Me personally, I want to make this into a film right now. What's more,I want Oscar winners Adrien Brody and Forest Whitaker to act the hellout of it.
I don't want to change the story. I don't want to take it into the 21stcentury. I don't want to ramp up the violence for effect. I don't wantto make a big Hollywood production. I want to stick to the guts! Stickto what makes it interesting!
Now imagine you are Adrien Brody. He hears the pitch. Probablytakes a pay-cut just to be involved, the opportunity is so great toshow off his talent. Same with Whitaker! Next thing you know the scriptis spiraling out of control! Someone wants more sex scenes! Someonewants more violence!

Someone is looking at test data and decides thereneeds to be a rape scene! More brutal beatings! Let's get aNazi! Never mind the implausibility or it all!
But Brody's committed.He hangs in there and gives the best performance that he can. But it'slost. 'The Experiment' is an example of Hollywood flying off the mark. It's aperfect opportunity gone wrong. It's badly edited and shouldn't havebeen released. Why then, you ask, the 3 out of 10 rating? Near the end of the film, as the predictable climax approaches, AdrienBrody's acting saves the film.
Somehow he has miraculously breathedenough life to his character that you suddenly feel connected. It comesout of nowhere. Forest Whitaker is also good in the film, but the lines he seems forcedto read are so contrived that it's not worth commenting on here. I didn't hate it. But I felt bad for those involved. Maybe you should wait 'til you see it on TV some late night before youfall asleep. You can flick over to the Food Network or something duringthe boring parts.
Could've been done more with this one. Interesting story, slowly built, tensed, well portrayed characters (not just the main two), excellent acting (Brody and Whitaker especially), but in the end unfortunately fails to materialize all that in to something more. Apart from the plain ending and unnecessary undeveloped female character, everything else was done right and it is a gripping thriller indeed.
Probably the most important is that the movie succeeds in the main idea, catching the human nature and its transformation placed in certain conditions. As expected blinding of power and rebelling makes the violence slowly but surely spreads and the movie becomes more disturbing, answering my question why is it going straight to DVD. The Stanford prison experiment was about group dynamics when people were assigned roles of prisoners and guards but the movie only revolves around the two main characters most of the time, with others being almost entirely absent.
As group dynamics do not really get into play, they miss many opportunities for personality development, which is what made the actual experiment interesting in the first place. Due to the complete lack of character development (with one exception) the movie feels rather dull and the behavior of the characters, as well as their backgrounds, suggest that the researchers had knowingly picked individuals who had mental or other problems in the past. Even though the plot is about as linear as it can get, it is still full of holes. The German version is much better, not because The Experiment is a remake but because it is dumbed down way too much. A typical reality-watching simpleton may find the remake easier to follow, though. Even with its flaws, I give it 7/10 because the basic premise is interesting and the movie is refreshingly different.
The set and the cast were certainly good enough. I am compelled to encourage people to watch this movie, as I have been profoundly affected by the concept of this experiment. (Please note that I have never bothered to write a review prior to now). I understand that this film is a remake and also loosely based on a true story, however, the director/writer obviously put much thought into altering the concept to suit the understanding of modern day motivations. The Experiment is an anthropological study of the behaviour of 26 ordinary men that are confined to an imitated prison environment. Each is assigned the role of either prisoner or guard and given 5 basic guidelines to which they must adhere.
This film was thought provoking and stirred up heated discussions among my family. I ask you one question; If Adrien Brody and Forest Whitaker's characters in the film (keeping in mind that Adrien was a 'Hippy' and Forest was a 42 year old man who still lived with his mother) were assigned the opposite roles of prisoner and guard, would the prison environment have been the same? The Experiment has an intriguing premise. Human behavior, group dynamics; what will happen when you put a group of people (all with very different personalities) in a small, stressful environment for a long period of time.
As this is a straight to DVD movie it surprisingly has a good cast and doesn't suffer from small budget diseases. The Experiment has the potential of being a great movie but never reaches it's full potential. To me it felt like certain events were rushed. This could be by the lack of explanation of the motives and the background of certain characters.

Ultimately, The Experiment is watchable but forgettable. The Experiment as you know from the summary is a film about psychological tests performed on everyday citizens put both in the role of prisoner and jailer in a makeshift prison.
They are videod and given a regiment of 'normal' prison life to discover how they will react or change from their principals stated during initial interviews. Sounds interesting but ultimately nothing much happens. We are not invested enough in the character to truly believe they would behave in the manner presented. It follows the expected formula to a tee. Of course the guards power trip, of course the prisoners band together, of course we will need escalating events to bring us to our already predicted conclusion. Brody and Whitaker are great here, they bring as much passion as could be expected. However, their backstories are just not flushed out enough to bring empathy to the portrayals.
It was like watching a fight and rooting for the guy you knew was supposed to be good. No one really learns anything about themselves, nor do the events really matter more than the shock value they provide for the screen. Sadly, I thought this could have been much better and while the original doesn't stray too far behind, at least with the relative unknowns in that film, we could connect and believe their struggle.
