There is no way on God's green earth that this experiment would be allowed to continue as long as it did. This film was based on the Stanford prison experiment which was cancelled early because of the effects the experiment produced: prisoners became extremely depressed and the guards became incredibly sadistic. This film crossed the line too many times to be taken seriously. As it is, it's a very good and very explicit reality TV show, but the ridiculous depictions of the people running the experiment are laughable in the extreme. In the real world, there would be lawsuits from here to Judgment Day. Still, it's better than the American flick Series 7, but on the other hand, a lot of movies are better than that. Kudos to Moritz Bleibtreu for a solid performance. Worth a look, if you can overlook the shortcomings and are willing to look into the dark heart of man.
