To begin with, this film has nothing to do with the story of crazy quests. Again tried our localizers, the original title of the film Double Blind, which describes what is happening on the screen action.
A group of healthy volunteers participate in double-blind testing of a new drug. The question is, why are healthy volunteers? Why are there so few?
After some time, it becomes clear that the medicine has side effects, while quite serious. Everything that happens next is nonsense.
There are no big questions about the behavior of the experimental subjects themselves - they did not sleep for five days, and their stories eloquently say that participation in research is almost the only way that came to their mind to earn some money.
But scientists make you think — dramatically change the principles of testing in the process? Well, let’s say, but not to equip the experimental boxing rooms with cameras is a brilliant solution.
Then there are even more blunders and misunderstandings about the motives and logic of the pharmaceutical company, but it is interesting to watch. Everything happens according to some logic, but it is impossible to understand it. A separate plus for the “mystical” component.
The ending seems drawn, and the fate of the main character is extremely unlikely.
Despite all the announced disadvantages, the film is much better than it initially seemed. Quite independently would collect the cash register from us, without attaching localizers to a rather strange franchise.
