Spiderhead tiene un gran tema que ofrece tantas posibilidades para un buen thriller de ciencia ficción y posiblemente una sátira cómica, sin embargo, terminó en algún lugar en el medio del camino. El culpable no es el director Joseph Kosinski, sino los guionistas de las payasadas de acción como Deadpool, Zombieland y 6 en la sombra, que no son capaces de trabajar con un material inspirador del que disponían y, en su lugar, intentan presentar un espectáculo que quiere ser guay y tonto, adornado con atractivos detalles. El potencial desaprovechado es evidente, aunque Spiderhead funciona hasta cierto punto al menos como una película de clase B sólida y obvia que, por desgracia, se desintegra en un irrisorio batiburrillo de tonterías al final.

Un tema extraño, poco creíble, que trabaja con una buena idea, pero que plantea preguntas sin respuesta e impresiones embarazosas de sus escenas wtf y matices humorísticos completamente inapropiados. Necesitaba ver la película por segunda vez para confirmar que no había ningún error en mi estado de ánimo en ese momento y que Kosinski realmente había perdido la cabeza. Y se me confirmó. Incluso la música es mala. Aunque la película comienza con una buena canción, las otras canciones luego la entierran completamente.

Spiderhead had the potential to be a big hit, but unfortunately remained a mediocre film, which is a wonder considering who is behind it. When Joseph Kosinski, who blew everyone away with Maverick, the writer of both Deadpool movies, Hemsworth and Teller, plus an original premise come together on set, it's almost hard to believe that the final product is a bit of an easy skip. The film takes place in probably the least realistic prison (there are some nice interiors), where there are no rules at work, nothing is explained properly, there's just a scientist testing drugs on prisoners, which in itself sounds fine because drugs are fun, but what might have been the most fun thing about the film is kind of boring in places. I was quite bothered by the lack of test subjects (there are about three people being tested?), the lack of any significant intensity. I was expecting some sort of trippy prison massacre, but I would have taken an uncomfortable stuffiness in the air. None of that happens, there is only one suspenseful scene (everyone probably can guess which one it is), and the finale is very much off the mark. On the other hand, I liked the music, it is is excellent, the actors do their thing and there are a few minor twists and turns, so it managed to serve as a one-off, but expectations were much different. Untapped potential, but it wasn't a waste of time for me. Story 3/5. Action 2/5, Humour 2/5, Violence 1/5, Fun 3/5 Music 4/5, Visuals 4/5, Atmosphere 3/5, Suspense 2/5, Emotion 3/5, Actors 3/5. 5.5/10

The very relevant topic of human submissiveness and what controls us, but in inconsistent packaging and, unfortunately, with rather a bland ending. The screenplay chose a cheap, escaping ending, instead of trying anything bolder. Which is strange - it was so promising for so long. Hemsworth really enjoys this, for him untraditional, role. Kosinski has made an attractive movie here, with a wonderfully designed jail and surrounding countryside. Beautiful. Rather naively, I had originally thought that he would experiment more in this minor production for Netflix, but no.

I never thought Netflix could ruin a film from a director I had high hopes for, but here we are. The trailer looked promising, but the reality is a letdown. Great concept, strong cast, but the execution and script are embarrassing. I kept waiting for a scene to turn things around and inject some real tension. When it finally happened, the events that followed just turned the movie into a mess — a mess with A-list Hollywood actors.
