James Festini What the hell is going on with Val Kilmer? Is he always going to play Jim Morrison. I heard the guy is a total egomaniac. I really want to like him but for some reason he keeps landing all of these really weird crappy roles. I can only assume that soon he will go the way of John Travolta and once again become cool. For now this movie was a total bag of dirty socks. The only good part was Eric Roberts. Until he does not bag the hot chick. Than it was all downhill from there. I don't know about you but a scene with Three guys and three hot chicks locked in a steam room that does not have sex in it is just a recipe for disaster. I often wonder who the hell pays money to shoot there's films. I really have a few good movie ideas I just need a list of fools to sell it to. Perhaps the people who did this pile of crap will help me out. Perhaps I am too harsh? O.K. I'll be nice. Val get back in shape and be cool again! I gave is a 3 because there were 3 hot chicks. I would have done 4 but Eric Roberts did not score.
erikaamato-200-370262 I am very tolerant of bad movies - particularly when I'm home sick, watching them for free on Hulu - but this thing is so irredeemably awful, I stopped watching halfway through. Val Kilmer, Armand Assante, and Eric Roberts do their best (although their performances are all oddly mannered in this film), but the material is just not act-able. The rest of the cast is sub-par at best, and they are all constantly either over-acting like mad or staring numbly into the distance. But the absolute worst performance is that of the actress playing Jesse. Wow. Do yourself a huge favor, and don't watch this thing, even for free. Your time is more valuable than this dreck.
sddavis63 This movie is also known as "The Chaos Experiment" - and I thought that alternative title really sums this up quite well. It's really quite a chaotic movie which has much greater potential than it ever came close to fulfilling. Val Kilmer plays a man named Jimmy who as the movie opens walks into a newspaper office and tells the editor that unless his story about global warming is printed, he's going to kill 6 people he has locked up inside a steam room by turning up the heat, so to speak, to demonstrate the chaos that will erupt between them and show what he believes is going to eventually happen in the world due to global warming. The movie then goes back and forth from Jimmy to the steam room, as he's questioned by a cop played by Armand Assante who tries to find out where the 6 are.The premise is somewhat interesting. One of the major problems with the movie, though, is that - aside from the plight they find themselves in - there's no particular reason given to care for any of the six in the steam room. The characters are never really fleshed out, aside from a very brief introduction they give to each other in the movie's early stages, before they realize their situation. So we get a few seconds of each giving us their likes and dislikes and telling us where they're from. But for this movie to really work, we need to know more about them; we need to care about them - and frankly, we don't. There's even suspicion throughout (probably deliberate) about whether any of it is actually true, or whether it's just a delusion inside Jimmy's head.The idea was interesting. It just didn't work very well.
trashgang I have seen posters and trailers for this flick. Even fangoria had an article about this dreg. The attention was out there because three actors from the eighties were in it, Val Kilmer, Armand Assante and Eric Roberts. Val is playing the main role. He's the villain, but what a performance he gives. Really, the fall of an icon, the fall of batman (you get it?). The only thing he has to do is stair into the camera or sitting at a table at a police office. One let down. So far I haven't seen a flick from Philippe Martinez. And I never will do it again. This is just tedious. It's more about Val then about the experiment. Oh yes, they promise that the experiment will take two days so lungs will explode and eyes will crystallize. But none of that happen. And even the performances in the sauna are a big let down. Eric Roberts was never one of my favorites and here again he shows me why. All we get in the sauna is a bit of arguments and a slashing throat, some fights and the best thing, but that's for later. Even all of that is so wooden, the blood flows a bit but never is frightening or whatever. There is a scene with a nail gun machine. You see the machine, You see the face of the scary girl, then it's bang bang bang and we see the result, not convincing at all. If you got three nails in your head well blood will flow. Here we see the nails, never in close up and a drip of blood. The reason that my collection has this flick is the fact that I found it on Blu Ray for 5 euro's. And now for the best part, Eve Mauro. If you want to see bouncy balls, well you will have two minutes of slo-mo and close ups. And if you can't get enough of her juggs go watch Wicked Lake.
