The story tells that the employees of Belco, a multinational company in Colombia, were cut off by a mysterious voice on the radio. They were told that they must kill their colleagues to win the qualification to live. Everyone took the threat as a joke. , However, the entire building was suddenly blocked, and several colleagues died quickly. At this time, everyone realized the seriousness of the problem. In order to survive, this group of office white-collar workers had to launch an office battle royale.
This film is a hybrid of "Battle Royale" and "The Hunger Games". A group of office white-collar workers are trapped in a remote seven-story building. The armor of the building that was originally designed to prevent the attack of Colombian militants has now become a cage for trapping people. , and it is said that the tracker implanted in the back of the head to prevent the employee from being kidnapped turned out to be a remote control bomb. After the trapped people tried various rescue methods to no avail, in order to survive, some people began to wave butcher knives at their former colleagues. The film's plot development, character settings and actors' performances are all in place. In particular, the various reactions of the trapped people in the film are in line with human instinct. There is no mentally handicapped behavior that is often committed in such films. (Michael Rooker) Great God, I thought I had to become one of the last few bosses to survive, but I didn't expect to receive a lunch soon after entering the plot. In addition, the film is also unequivocal in splashing blood, and various killing methods such as knife stabbing, axe hacking, and headshot are readily available.
This film can be seen as a social experiment in the "Prisoner's Dilemma". In front of the survival instinct, the animality of human beings is stimulated to the greatest extent. As the company leader said in the film, "are you important to your wife and children, or to your colleagues", whether it is for your family or yourself, it is better to kill others to gain a chance of survival than to be killed for all violations of the order. Therefore, whether it is the "rational" murderer represented by the company's COO who kills a few people for the sake of the majority to survive, or the idealist who cannot cross the bottom line represented by the male protagonist, they are only in extreme circumstances, from It's just different choices made from different angles. It's hard to say who's right and who's wrong. If you and I are in the situation in the film, it's hard to make a better choice. It's just that the characters in the film didn't expect that once a person's animal nature is released, it will be difficult to take it back. For example, the male protagonist who has always refused to kill people in the film finally launched a crazy revenge against the mastermind behind all this director. The film's open-ended ending means that more sequels are just around the corner, if audiences approve of it.
