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.

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.
