Had an ok premise, needed a little more depth on the other drugs and their effects. Completely falls flat in the 3rd act when for the first time in some meager attempts at comedy come up. Hemsworth did fine, accent was in and out a few times.Had an ok premise, needed a little more depth on the other drugs and their effects.

It's very easy to see the cast in this film didn't really have much interest in the story. And I say that because of the mediocre performances.

Spiderhead - another huge Netflix misfire - looks and feels like a lost episode of Black Mirror.

In the past that might have been flattering, but considering the quality of that show lately is similar to that of this film, needless to say, at least in my case, it just evens out the disappointment.

Pseudo science fiction that says nothing, that provokes nothing. Not even with its conspiratorial attempt of drugs, prisoners and control. You will forget it as soon as you look for something else in the catalogue.

I have a really hard time believing that the director of this movie also made Top Gun: Maverick.

Another no so good flix. Chris Hemsworth no match for his leading role as a smart guy who try to do bad thing. Story not fun or intense. acting were poorly at the near ending. Wasting time watched this.

Chris Hemsworth plays a scientist working on new chemicals that can alter a human's emotions and perceptions. The test subjects are all convicts, including one (Miles Teller), who becomes more involved in the outcome. This starts out lookingChris Hemsworth plays a scientist working on new chemicals that can alter a human's emotions and perceptions. The test subjects are all convicts, including one (Miles Teller), who becomes more involved in the outcome. This starts out looking like a cool sci-fi thriller, but after about 30 minutes, it deteriorates into a lot of talk and personal interactions. Considering that director Joseph Kosinski just came off his Top Gun Maverick hit (which also stars Teller), you'd expect more action and tension. There's little of either and not much else cool about the concept to keep it compelling. Expand

Chris Hemsworth is so laughably bad in this movie it actively ruins it. So unnatural and lame. The movie was alright, although nothing I'd ever watch again.

Interesting sci-fi dramedy/thriller vaguely explores a pharmaceutical mogul's human experimentation project on criminal inmates at a luxurious remote island locale. Entertaining but flawed, the production value is impressive but HemsworthInteresting sci-fi dramedy/thriller vaguely explores a pharmaceutical mogul's human experimentation project on criminal inmates at a luxurious remote island locale. Entertaining but flawed, the production value is impressive but Hemsworth felt like a poor casting choice for this role. What starts off well soon decends into generic 'sci-fi experiment goes wrong' territory. Expand

Not very good. No new ideas. Foreseeable plot. At least it is 'free' on netflix

Solid acting, a really interesting concept and a bland execution. Has some great moments but didn't marvel as a whole. Too much comical at times, I wish it was darker but I guess we already have Shutter Island for that.

This movie has an intriguing premise and some solid acting, but it never builds on its intriguing beginning. In the end, the resolution is foreseeable and seems undeserved.

I wish there was a drug that made me forget this movie. Oh wait, it's been 10 minutes since it ended and I've already forgotten it, problem solved!

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. As a preface, this movie has earned its mixed review reputation. For the good, the premise of this movie is really interesting, the writing is reasonably well done, but it certainly has problems. The acting is mixed, with Miles Teller giving an incredible performance and Chris Hemsworth doing an uncharacteristically mediocre job. I have rewatched this movie multiple times and have noticed several issues with the plot, mostly involving the easy to guess storyline. The characters are rather shallow at times, and the ending feels like an easy out to end the movie. Ultimately, the premise of the movie kind of dies throughout, leaving us with an idiotic villain with absolutely no depth. He ends up giving his backstory with practically no explanation. This movie could have been good but is a let down on many levels. Another promising movie driven into the ground. Disappointing end for a disappointing movie. Expand

there is a really good idea, but the execution was horrible. I like this Chris Hemsworth, but the movie was just a mix of boring and confusing
