A movie with a good idea, cast and book, which totally failed to live up to expectations because of the lack of realism and understanding of moral behaviour and motives. The sexual premises and sadistic situations freely used by Director Paul Scheuring made no sense whatsoever in the supposed controlled, rule given and observed environment within the time frame given. Neither did the characters given their supposed motivations or plot in general. Despite the great cast I was not convinced by the performance of any of the leading characters, which needed a lot more dept to explain why their actions and body language deviated so much from their actions. The movie was entertaining and at least left you plenty of reason to be emotionally engaged, but in the end the movie left me feeling that there was nothing to be learned from it or this experiment. Not worth watching, this could have been so much more.
