Below-par film on US secret service drugs experiments of 60s, hard to believe this 'true' story - MK Ultra review by PV
OK so this movie is evidence that 'lived experience' does not necessarily mean anything, The unknown director who also wrote this mess of a film is former intelligence officer Joseph Sorrentino - who then had enough cash to do to USC film school and got to write/direct this.
It is a confused mess of a movie, salacious and frankly not believable, Yes, the US experimented on prisoners and black people too with diseases like anthrax. And no doubt LSD too, But I do not believe the OTT depictions here.
Forgettable film, not much of a story, all cartoon characters.
Watch THE MEN WHO STARE AT GOATS or THE AMERICANS US TYV drama series instead.

No Subtitles... - MK Ultra review by AM
High Fliers again showing their cheap lowlife approach by ignoring the disabled and omitting to add subtitles.
Can't watch this. Production companies should avoid this distributor.
