Good story, Not enough for a whole film
It was OK. I don't see why everyone loves it so much. It wasn't very smart or deep or well-directed.
Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
POTENTIAL SPOILERS (definitely not ruining the movie though) Seeing the 7/10 rating and the glorifying first 4-5 reviews claiming Green Room to be "an adrenaline rush for beginning to end" and a great movie overall , I was totally disappointed while watching it . Not so much of a plot here , no character development at all and the only like-able character in the movie for me was Gabe . This movie is bad , definitely doesn't deserve the 7/10 rating it has and I do not recommend it to anyone . It doesn't even have a good or bad ending ! The ending feels like something is missing from the film .
Watched this movie on tv the other night, great film and very suspenseful, the films so good you dont want it to end!
After the first ten minutes I came close to switching it off, I couldn't see why the ratings for it were so high, but......When the band finish their performance the film comes to life, it's hard hitting, dramatic and gripping, described as an adrenaline rush, that's a good description, very edge of the seat viewing. The quality of the film also seems to flick into action at the same point, what starts off as a slow and padded beginning transforms into a slick, well acted movie. Patrick Stewart is excellent, very menacing in a subtle way, but star of the show has to be Imogen Poots, who is fantastic. The ending is hugely dramatic too, I have to ask though, why always are Staffys used, they get such a bad deal in movies, but are the best dogs!
'Green Room' matches the intensity and grimness of writer/director Jeremy Saulnier's breakout effort 'Blue Ruin', but lacks the soul that made that film so haunting and tragically poetic.It stars the late Anton Yelchin in another low key, naturalistic performance alongside a cast of young character actors who really sell the authenticity of this world. It's grimy and dirty and frightening, and that's even before the violent mayhem starts. The atmosphere is dripping with bad vibes and simmering with an undercurrent of violence, and this feeling is mostly thanks to a convincing cast and some tautly engineered direction. Perhaps the biggest surprise of the cast is Patrick Stewart as the neo-nazi establishment owner who coldly calculates the demise of our main characters. Once you get past the fact that it is Sir Patrick (The Sci-fi Nerd King) breaking some bad, he really is quite chilling to watch.The film has several disturbingly violent sequences that escalate with each new confrontation until a fairly scattershot climax and it mostly makes for a tense watch. However, because the characters aren't explored in any significant way it supplies us with only superficial thrills via the visceral nature of the violence depicted and the fact that we naturally prefer that the underwritten heavy metal rockers win out over the underwritten nutball Nazis who are trying to slay them. It's ultimately just a dirty indie remake of John Carpenter's 'Assault on Precinct 13', but it does a good job of living up to its heritage.
