A film based on the german film Das Experiment which in turn was based on the actual Stanford Prison Experiment. I haven't seen Das Experiment since it's original release but from what I recall it was far more interesting than this one. Maybe because I know exactly what to expect this time, I just remember feeling far more tense when the protagonist is thrown in the box.

Forest Whitaker is great as the shy guy that goes power mad. After being in Burlesque it was good to see Cam Gigandet raping another guy. Maggie Grace was in this purely so thy had a female cast member.

They got the guy that made Prison Break to do the remake. Not really the same thing, despite the prison setting, but he does a serviceable job.
