Brief Synopsis
Several men enrolled in psychological experiment with a reward of $1000 per day for two weeks. The study conducted involve in prisoners and guards scenario. The purpose of experiment is to study human behavior that will relatively change in corresponding to the roles given. However, in order to receive the money, each participants are warned to obey the given rules or the experiment will be stopped and no one will receive the money.


Review
Character execution is great yet the story seems to be not excited as the title of the movie. I expected more out of the movie. The character building is there, yet the drama element is not fully evolved. It just like serving you a spaghetti without seasoning.  The movie started good but then the plot remains flat along the way without the intention to emphasize  the word "Experiment". Well, "The Experiment" is just another experimental movie with a same premise, same plot and same purpose, or in another words "Nothing excited about it". However, if you are curious, this movie is not bad for you as it adapted from the real experiment in one of the university in US.
