It isn't all that great, actually. Really cheesy and very predicable of how certain scenes are gonna turn play out. However, I guess that's the charm of it all, because I would consider this one of my guilty pleasures.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

A hard-up band of punk rock musicians takes a gig in a white-supremacist venue in rural Oregon . After accidentally witnessing something they were not meant to see, their lives are changed forever."Green Room" succeeds as a suspenseful thriller. With one group of people pitted against another, the audience is left to wonder who will end up alive by the movie's end. It also reminds one of other movies that made a part of rural America into hell-on-earth. "The Hateful Eight" and "Winter's Bone" are two such movies that come to mind.As there is minimal characterization, this film can have only so much impact. Also, little is done with the white supremacist element of the story. But there is still good entertainment value in the film - at least for those of us who don't live in or near anywhere like the setting of this movie.

Yet another disappointment. I'm starting to believe the ratings system can't be relied on anymore. There's just so much junk out there with a relatively high rating of 7 or more, and when you watch it, it's just a total letdown.Take this movie for example. It's billed as a thriller/horror, yet at no moment is it ever scary or gory. The characters are bland and one-dimensional and you don't care if they live or die.The plot is just a joke. In the middle of nowhere in Oregon, there's a bar, where all the yokels, racists and neo-Nazis congregate. What, I guess BLM or Al Qaeda were too busy to take part in the shoot? Or was it just more convenient to make white males the bad guys again, because you know they won't complain, unlike if they were to cast one of the previous two groups... even though white male supremacists commit what, 0.0001% of the violent crime the latter two do? So yeah, once you see who's cast as the "bad guys," you know there was no real interest in making a semi-realistic thriller. This is just another hit piece from leftist Hollywood.The movie itself is slow. A band is locked up on a room backstage. Ooooh. Scary! Are you scared yet? No? OK, wait, a handful of neo-Nazis then tries to kill them. OOOOH!! Now you're scared, right? Yeah, I knew it! Yawn.... There are, oh, 7 deaths on both sides, before the laughable ending. Total letdown.The only redeeming value is in the cinematography, as the guys holding a camera and doing the lighting knew how to film in the dark, and they had the wherewithal to not use the shaky cam fad that so many other movies do. Too bad they're dragged down by a stupid story and a snoozefest masquerading as a thriller.

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.
