About the only truly admirable thing about The Belko Experiment - the new film written by James Gunn and directed by Greg McLean - is that it unabashedly wears its influences on its sleeve. It’s clear that Gunn - now famous for his work directing the first two Guardians of the Galaxy films - was heavily inspired, in fact, by director Kinji Fukasaku’s Battle Royale, a bloody and ruthless film that pitted schoolkids against each other in a fight to the death. Unfortunately, the similarities between The Belko Experiment and Battle Royale all about end there.
Set during the present day (or possibly near future), the film takes place in an office for the mysterious corporate titan, Belko Industries, located in Bogota, Colombia. Placed literally a mile or so from any road and surrounded only by a dilapidated hangar and a full acre or so of dirt, The Belko Experiment begins by introducing us to a number of employees working within the office. They include John Gallagher Jr.’s Mike Milch, Adria Arjona’s Leandra Flores, Michael Rooker’s Bud Melks, Tony Goldwyn’s Barry Norris, John C. McGinley’s Wendell Dukes, and more.
