Gregory S Jul 4 Just feel this movie had so much potential, but they squandered it. I actually laughed at a fight seen. See more James W Jun 3 A film on this subject could have and should have been much better. This one was... just silly. There was no real storyline, just haphazard scenes that attempted, but failed, to develop a plot. The main character moved throughout every scene as though he was lost. Early in the film, we learn that he is a sexual deviant. Every other character in the movie is so shallow that we learn absolutely nothing about them other than, through the interjection of random shadowy scenes, that each of them is also a sadistic sexual deviant. The bloody ending was pointless. I kept waiting for the movie to get better, but it never did. If you want to know anything about MK Ultra, you're better off watching a Youtube documentary. See more Jeffrey P 03/24/2024 Fascinating subject from American history, unfortunately, here it is slow paced and without much meaningful content or development before an end that is somewhat shocking, if true. See more Bernie W 02/19/2024 Not a fan. Enjoyed the film though, but would've liked it better if it was a more fleshed out story and factually crazier See more jean c 12/27/2023 poor and slow narrative technique, annoying handheld camera scenes transform a true story in a bad tale. See more Lesley E 08/13/2023 This movie was bland from the get go. The cinematography is not very good, everything looks "dull" - and when the plot itself is very dull, the bland cinematography doesn't do it any favours as well (also the amount of nudity and sex scenes don't do it any favours either as it adds absolutely nothing to the plot whatsoever). As far as the Mk Ultra stuff is concerned, in spite of the film's name, it actually doesn't center around MK Ultra so much but rather the doctor conducting the experiments. It's basically a journey from "darkness to light" - the doctor starts off as very cold, clinical and emotionless, but then towards the 3rd act of the film, he finally develops a conscience and realises what he's been involved in is wrong and inhuman. The only redeemable quality of this film is the acting. The actors give good performances in spite of the dull script they've been given. If you're looking for a good MK Ultra thriller, try the "Manchurian Candidate" and give this one a hard pass. Final verdict: 1 star. See more Read all reviews
