Works as you watch but fails later.

If examined this film fails completely but as it is it is interesting to watch as you watch it but think too much about it fails harshly. It works as you watch it because it is fast enough and due to the characters especially the very Mengele like Dr. Schell who will make you keep watching just so you can see him get his.

Oscar Nominee Best Supporting Actor Laurence Olivier 5/5- Olivier is the best part of the movie by fully being Dr. Schell. He is properly intense and scary in manner but not in an obvious way but rather an incredibly disturbing way, that is very unnerving. He makes a truly great villain in this film.

Marathon of being Ridiculous

This is a movie I found to be utterly ridiculous. Everytime something happened it was laughable. Some interesting topics were touched on including the blacklist, but every time something was brought up it seemed like wtf. Overall, I don't like John Schlesinger and will avoid him in the future.
