This was on my to-watch list for quite a while before I gave it a chance. Holy crap this movie is good. Not ten stars good, obviously, but man it throws some curve balls. All of the actors were competent and believable. The tension builds and builds. The ending was stereotypical but didn't detract from the film at all. Wonder how much time Patrick Stewart had to spend in makeup to play a skinhead lol.

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.

Green Room is a murder thriller that dances closer to Slayer than, say, Rob Zombie. The scenes are colorfully designed for such a brutal subject, and holds some interesting blocking despite the small environment. The acting is serviceable all around and features a solid effort from Anton Yelchin, whose scenes opposite the antagonist played by Sir Patrick Stewart are worth the price of admission. While ending may be too quick for some, the ride is undeniably exhilarating.

"Green Room" is a very suspenseful movie. The premise of the movie is that a Punk Rock band that's slowly running out of money finally manages to land a gig that might keep them afloat for a while. So far so good. But what they don't know is that the gig is supposed to be held at a neo-Nazi bar. There were plenty of "red flags" that they should've noticed right from the get go. But I guess they really needed the money. So they perform their songs and as they're about to leave they witness a murder through an unfortunate turn of events. All the sudden they find themselves in a problematic situation; now that they've seen the murder they can't just be let go. For the majority of the movie the protagonists find themselves trapped in that one room; the very room where the murder took place. First against their will. Later on however as the circumstances change they stay in the room for their own protection. Things start to escalate as the owner of the bar starts to prepare for the worst case scenario. The constant tension and dread is palpable. After all the protagonists are nothing but a bunch kids (figuratively speaking. They are teenagers) trying to survive in this hostile environment. Meanwhile their captors are armed and dangerous. Which becomes very apparent as the movie progresses. This isn't their first ride at the rodeo. They have clearly done this before.
