to be honest the idea seemed good and interesting, the humour in few moments was pretty good, but... 1) Why i must believe in degradation of human beings in a closed territory if: no one from the start seemed normal and everybody had problems with morality; the territory wasn't close! It's just a building, not an isolated island or snowpiercer (which was a really great movie). These people went out for a work, they could simply move anywhere else if they didn't like this skyscraper. They could went out anytime they wanted, nobody kept them there by force, they could call police at least, but instead they decided to stay there with unworking electricity and lots of other problems. It's just unlogic thing! 2) Why i must believe that the character who was Neither fish nor flesh (except a few moments) somehow got all the power in the end of the story (or women just choose him to comfort them, why?) 3) some characters talked about this building as if it was a living being, well, if it was really supposed that skyscraper is the main character of this movie then it should be shown somehow. Talks of madmen will never convince me to believe in them. i didn't feel the power of the building (if it really had it). Whole movie is a mess. The idea was good but it's realization is nothing but a pretentious chaos. I wasn't shocked by cruel scenes, i've seen worse and i bet out too. so i don't understand people who told me that it has some special scary atmosphere. and my friend forgot this movie just after we left the cinema. She was absolutely indifferent to everything that happened on the screen and i know why: neither plot nor characters were intriguing.
