A fun gore-romp.

Rating: 7/10 (1 May 2016)

Worst. Tour. Evar.
Green Room poses a familiar situation: punk band on tour is making no money and they're pretty sure they don't have enough cash for gas home. Then it poses an unfamiliar situation: punk band witnesses a murder at a white-supremacist club and Captain Picard is a total dick.
I hope I'm right in thinking it's more of a dark comedy than a thriller/suspense. It has plenty of gore and tension, and we thankfully don't have to spend the whole movie in the green room itself. We wonder why there are so many "professional" machinations to cover up the murder, but we eventually learn much more is at stake because these awful skinheads also have a heroin dealership downstairs.
Anton Yelchin normally makes my skin crawl, but he plays a subdued, close performance that fits the movie's tone well. Although we know somebody's gotta die, the build up to the final scenes is paced just right and the ending is a satisfying blood fest.
