And wouldnt you just know it?
One of the best killers is of course the all-American CEO.
And like any kind of social experiment, the whole point is escalation.
Next, 30 employees will have to die or 60 of them will go boom.
The ensuing mayhem is decidedly grim and excessively violent.
In other words, the film leans closer to Gunns early work pre-Guardians of the Galaxy.
Their entire careers have been comparable to pig troughs at a Chicago stockyard.
Now its conveyer belt time.
The film also mines humor from depicting the futility of heroism and cowardice in equal measure.
Theyre going to confiscate securitys armory of weapons for safe-keeping.
And then theyre going to gather everyone in the lobby to have a talk.
Also unfortunately, the third act completely loses its thread.
The sequel tease is especially tacky.
Still, there is something malevolently humorous about a movie where office dynamics take on a Darwinian bent.
This will likely be a freshman dorm room favorite for years to come.
The Belko Experimentis in theaters on March 17.
