Sorry but I use headphones and pretty much any movie like this one is impossible to watch.The Actors whisper their lines as quiet as possible and then screaming blaring sound effects.So if you want to watch this movie with headphones, you have to keep your finger on the volume and crank it from 25% to 100% back to 25% back to 100%. Stop, rewind crank the volume and hear what they said. Crank it back down to 25% because your eardrums are being blown.After having to rip the headphones off three or four times because of it going from actors who are whispering to extremely loud sound effects I just gave up. Screw this movie.

It's the most awful movie I've ever seen, and it has no excuse for this. Gratuitous murders is not something you'll ever see in a movie. Even accidental killings, or somebody trying to escape from a dire situation is excusable, and up to a certain extent acceptable. The single excuse tried by the producers was: "At this moment our enemies have somebody like me and like you doing the same thing right now...". This is very untrue, bringing only prejudice to the US image. First, they don't need to kill random guys only to select a potential human bomb. It's old public information that the terrorists are paying some large amount of money to the human bombs' very poor families, and the human bombs are very ill people in the last stage with cancer, AIDS or leukemia. Thus, the terrorists probably have more requests from the ill & poor people that they can handle: they don't need to kill randomly to select potential human bombs... daaah... It's a stupid, childish idea that only translates into most gratuitous murders seen on the screen. You have 1 from me, just because there is no 0.

This Movie has one Shocking Moment near the beginning and it goes absolutely nowhere from there. Nothing is at all Believable, although it is easy to believe that these types of Off the Books Nazi-Like Experiments are still being conducted even though MK-Ultra was Whistleblown, Congressionally Exposed, and then deemed Shut Down by the CIA. There are two glaring Blights that Perpetuate Modern Films. Mumbling, Muttering, Indecipherable Dialog and The Shaky Camera. This one Suffers from the Former. But that's the least of its Shortfalls. It takes a Fascinating Subject and Dumbs it down to a Horror/Schlock Level. Even at that it Slips, Stumbles, and Falls. The Feeble and Unrealistic Escape Attempts, the Ridiculous Riddles, and the Deer in the Headlights Performance by the Lead Actress are just a few worth mentioning.A Frustratingly Bad Movie that is Mishandled on almost every Level. Flatly Photographed, Shallow and Sophomoric Script, Wooden Acting, and Worst of all it takes a very interesting Subject and makes it Boring. A Misfire of a Magnitude that is Mind-Numbing.

**SPOILERS** Totally off the wall and utterly ridicules movie involving this super secret MK-Ultra like mind controlled project in finding out,through a battery of inane and silly questions, who among us, the American people, is best qualified to be a future patriotic suicide bomber for their country. The four persons-Paul Brodie Crawford Haines Tony Mazzolla & Kerry Isalano-who answered the newspaper add and were accepted to participate in this project have no idea what they've got themselves into!The project is run by this self-absorbed control freak Dr. Phillips who has a new assistant that he's breaking in Emily Reilly who like those being tested has no idea just how crazy her boss is. Slowly but surly Emily realizes that Phillips' hair brained scheme in making normal Americans into crazed and unfeeling, to themselves as well as their potential victims, suicide bombers is as insane as he is but by then it's too late for her to back out! Locked in a room like rats in a cage the four are subjected to extreme mental as well as physical torture by Phillips & Co. that leads three of them to end up dead by the time the movie is over. Some of the idiotic things that their put through is answering and getting the answer right to the most absurd questions, with their lives literally hanging on the line in having the right answer! Questions like as an example in who was the New York Giant's third base coach when Bobby Thompson hit "The Shot Heard Round the World" off Brooklyn Dodger pitcher Ralph Branca!***SPOILERS**** The lucky or unlucky person of the quartet who ended up surviving in being qualified to be a future suicide bomber only qualification was that he was ready to blow his brains out and end it all. But that was not based on any patriotic duty,in willing to die as well as kill for his country, or any high minded cause on his part! But only because that person was pushed over the edge by Dr.Phillips' crazy experiments that were conducted on him! In the end we see the winning contestant of this experiment crazily running around in the secret underground military facility with the men in the white suits and butterfly nets not far behind him!
