Tagline: This Is Not A Drill<\/em><\/p>\n The Plot\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n Belko Industries is situated in a remote building on the outskirts of Bogot\u00e1, Colombia. It hires people from all over the world to work for them.\u00a0 On for the first day of work an implant is placed in the base of a new employee’s neck in case something happens to them.<\/p>\n One day when Mike (Gallagher) arrives at work, he notices a new squad of security guards telling the Bogot\u00e1 staff to go home.\u00a0 Mike thinks little of it and checks in.\u00a0 A short time later a voice comes over the intercom.\u00a0 It instructs everyone to stop and listen.\u00a0 They are told that unless two employees are killed within 30 minutes, more will die. Suddenly steel shutters come down on all windows and doors sealing everyone in the building.<\/p>\n Reactions vary, but most believe it to be a terrible prank.\u00a0 When 30 minutes pass and no one is killed the voice returns to the intercom.\u00a0 It announces since the group did not comply, instead of two people dying, four will.\u00a0 Four employees are killed when the implants in their heads detonate.\u00a0 The voice then says that unless thirty employees are dead within two hours sixty will die.<\/p>\n All hell breaks loose.<\/p>\n Thoughts (beware of spoilers)\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n James Gunn of The Guardians of the Galaxy<\/em> franchise, Suicide Squad<\/em>, and Peacemaker<\/em> fame wrote the screenplay with the intention of directing it.\u00a0 When the film was ready for production, Gunn was going through a divorce and passed on directing.\u00a0 Still, several actors who regularly appear in Gunn’s films were cast including Sean Gunn (his brother), Michael Rooker, Gregg Henry and Stephen Blackehart.<\/p>\n I loved the concept, but felt that we didn’t get to know any of the characters.\u00a0 I would have preferred to care\/know more about who lived and died with less emphasis on gore.<\/p>\n The Belko Experiment<\/strong><\/em> (2016) <\/span>rates 2 of 5 stars.<\/span><\/p>\n The Belko Experiment (2016) Director:\u00a0 Greg McLean Writer: James Gunn Stars: John Gallagher Jr., Tony Goldwyn, Adria Arjona, John C.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":912,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[61,17,53,54,74],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-32523","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-authors","category-celebs","category-horror","category-movies","category-z-view"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32523","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/912"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=32523"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32523\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":32600,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/32523\/revisions\/32600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=32523"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=32523"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/craigzablo.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=32523"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
