This film had a promising and intriguing start - set in a United Kingdom in the grip of civil unrest a woman awakes in the white chamber of the title, a futuristic cell where she is systematically tortured by various means to obtain information about what happens at the mysterious facility the chamber is housed in. Is she who she says she is (a lowly admin girl) or does she know more?
Rewind 5 days and all starts to become clear, although unfortunately this is also where the film takes a turn into cliche, poor performance and loses its momentum. We find out that the woman in the chamber is in fact running the facility and has been carrying out experiments herself on a couple of members of the group rising up against the government. There are several further twists and turns along the way to the denouement, with a final (heavily signposted ) turn of the tables.
However I rather lost interest in watching the 5 days worth of experiments, which became rather repetitive, with the exception of the metamorphosis of the female captive which was quite disturbing. The characters were not particularly well developed and I consequently didn't really care what happened to any of them, the female protagonist still appearing unsympathetic, despite the sad backstory that was revealed.
In a nutshell (!) not a bad premise but ultimately, not engaging enough, and it just had an amateur feel to it, for me. My husband fell asleep during it, so that's his review right there.
