Dreadful. This so-called thriller about a punk band who witness a murder and then have to fight for their survival is irredeemingly awful. It has a plot that makes absolutely no sense and bewilderingly bad performances from an otherwise decent cast. What's worse is that it generates no suspense but a fair amount of gore and a lot of noise and if that isn't bad enough it wastes whatever talent the late Anton Yelchin might have had, (he's totally miscast as a young punk), while Patrick Stewart should be thoroughly ashamed of himself for agreeing to appear in such trash. What's surprising is that writer/directorJeremy Saulnier had already shown his ablities with the excellent "Blue Ruin" so this marks a considerable come-down. We can only hope his new film "Hold the Dark" is an improvement or Saulnier's career is over before it's really begun.

A punk rock band is forced to fight for survival after witnessing a murder at a neo-Nazi skinhead bar. Green Room has an impressive and talented cast but the end result is a loud, bland and stupid thriller about dumb people getting killed by another dumb people. Also Patrick Stewart being this Group's leader wasn't believable from start to finish and his character was pointless and could have been written off plus the 3rd act is the generic things that all those horror/thriller movies have in common. Overall not that interesting or captivating as i heard. (0/10)

This film's rating is just grossly inaccurate, so I'm compelled to write a review.The first 30 or so minutes are decent enough. There's minor character development (or perhaps it's just introduction); though, all the MC's are vapid jerks who couldn't be cared less about. The setup is somewhat original for a "horror" flick, even if it sounds like the premise of a bad bar joke (so, the Neo-Nazis and the punk band walk into a bar...). The most thrilling scene for the entire movie might have been Pat(?) getting his arm sawed into. I can't recall the names of the other characters, and the audio was garbáj. Either the music and feedback were blaring or there were the mumblings of an inaudible dialogue. Tragic.After Pat's arm got mutilated, the whole production went down in flames. None of the characters were relatable or someone to root for, so each person getting brutalized felt like nothing. I couldn't empathize, and it made for an unbearable viewing. There just wasn't enough emotion (or any at all). No passion from the MC's, a washed out filter for the camera so that everything looked as lifeless as the characters acted, and no reason to care about the people being killed.I think my favorite part of the film was the mosh pit, to be quite honest. It had me nostalgic for a moment, because I used to love moshing at the local concert venue.Overall, Green Room sucked and was a waste of time.

From the reviews that I saw online, it seems that this movie had gotten a lot of hype. So I decided to rent and watch it. And to be frank, it was a disappointment. The characters are one dimensional, boring and stupid. There are barely any character development whatsoever and I cannot feel any pity or care for them, and trust me, I tried. The only characters whom I'm able to tolerate is the blonde girl, and I love the dog but that's it. The plot is extremely predictable, unsurprising and stupid. I don't understand the meltdown that the group have gotten into when they saw that dead girl, I mean considering the place they're in, and all the violence that are pretty much natural in a place like that, why the fact that there is a dead body is shocking!? And why do they have to be contained like that? If the Nazis are planning to kill them, they should've just shoot them all and get rid of the bodies, you know, feed them to the dogs or burn them or something. The movie itself is not even thrilling or scary at all. I know a plenty of horror movies that uses jump scares to their advantage, yet this movie doesn't even use a single jump scare and it had completely failed to scare me. There are a plenty of people who calls this movie violent and brutal, yet most of the violence are pointless and it's not even as brutal as other horror/thriller movies. An the end of the day, this movie is a waste of time and I regret spending my precious money and 95 minutes to watch this.
