Sinopses(1)
Travis (Adrien Brody) é um desempregado que se inscreve num programa experimental, no qual os participantes assumem papéis de presidiários e de guardas prisionais numa prisão vazia, a troco de mil dólares por dia. Um dos participantes, Barris (Forest Whitaker), leva o seu papel de guarda prisional um pouco longe demais, e em pouco tempo os presos ficam à mercê dos seus guardiões. Como todos os indivíduos do teste irão rapidamente descobrir, a violência e o conformismo podem facilmente manifestarem-se no comportamento humano. (NOS Lusomundo Audiovisuais)

Estúpido de cima a baixo, e ainda assim finge ter uma grande ideia no final. ()
The Experiment is a remake of a decent (though not excellent) German film that I watched a long time ago, so I will refrain from a closer comparison. It has several problems, like the original, it’s very predictable, you can accurately figure out what will happen next, even if you don’t know the original or, unconsciously, the real events from 1971. Then you have the unlikeable characters, even Adrien Brody, whom I usually don’t mind, here feels very unpleasant. And the third and most important complaint: if you can’t believe the development of the characters in a psychological thriller, that’s bad. If it was an original project, I’d go easier, but under these circumstances I can’t give it more than two stars – a remake that’s not better than the original, it’s not good. ()
At least in the first one the Japanese had manners, but in Ip Man 2 the Westerners are portrayed as spineless assholes who deserve nothing but defeat. The ridiculous epilogue only confirmed the fifth. ()
