Nuclear explosions force the residents of a New York apartment block to run from the building. However, the explosions force them into a basement. Eight residents are holed up in the building's bomb shelter. They must acclimatise to each other in difficult, cramped conditions.
Survivors of a nuclear attack are grouped together for days in the basement of their apartment building, where fear and dwindling supplies wear away at their dynamic.
That&#39;s the answer for those of you who might see the trailer and think about watching this one. No, don&#39;t be fooled by it. I&#39;ve rated this at 3 mainly because I rated some awful low budget crap even lower. One star for the fact that I did not get bored (enough) to just stop watching it and a star for not having giant plot holes (because there is no plot to talk about). One star by IMDb default equals 3. <br/><br/>I was disappointed when I realized this isn&#39;t a movie about a nuclear fallout. Its not. Its a movie about a group of people trapped in a cellar. Sure they are locked in a nuclear shelter and they hid there because someone decided to attack the USA with nukes but they could have been running away from Godzilla or hordes of zombies. It really doesn&#39;t matter. Once the door is locked the movie turns into a survival horror/thriller flick. Like Alive, Robinson Crusoe, Lord of the Flies, The Beach…..The opening sequence with Lauren German (the eye candy of the movie) staring out the window at the falling warheads and the complete destruction is spectacular. But its only about a minute long and the trailer pretty much covers that one. The attempts to explain this issue just confuse things even further. In the end someone just welds the shelter door shut from the outside and we&#39;re left with a bunch of people fighting for cans of beans and water. And going insane. <br/><br/>It could have worked. Its not a bad idea for a movie. The Road is a great movie about surviving a nuclear fallout. But The Road was based on a novel by the great Cormac McCarthy. This one wasn&#39;t. Its boring, clichéd and predictable. The screenplay is bad. The characters are unrealistic and poorly developed. None of them seem to have had any family or friends on the outside because none of them shows any concern of what might have happened to his/her parents, girlfriend, etc. They&#39;re too busy trying to figure out what kind of goodies Mickey the grumpy super has hidden in his safe. The movie is predictable to a point that you know what&#39;s going to happen after the first 10 minutes. I did. And I also did you a big favor by watching the whole thing so now you don&#39;t have to.
There is a bright light and an explosion outside. Residents of a New York City apartment are screaming and racing down the stairs in an attempt to find refuge from the unknown chaos occurring around them. Being pushed by the panicking horde, a group of survivors find themselves stuffed and then secured in the basement of their apartment building with the Superintendent of the building. Fearing a nuclear attack, it is within the best option of the group to stay secure in the basement. But food, water and the insanity of being cooped up with an assembly of sundry characters will lead the survivors down a path where their survival from each other is far more complex than any of the elements that may await them outside. Such is the synopsis for the new film, The Divide, a wonderful roller-coaster ride that melds the social paranoia of John Carpenter&#39;s The Thing with some of the emotional elements of TV&#39;s Jericho. Michael Biehn headlines the film as Mickey – the Superintendent that is an enigma wrapped tightly in a riddle. Mickey is definitely the one asserting command early, but his intentions and feelings towards the group are perplexing. He feeds the troupe, but he won&#39;t let them in his room. He is insulting and vile, yet his actions seem to be in the best interests for their survival. Locked down in the basement with Mickey are Marilyn (Rosanne Arquette) and her daughter Wendy, Devlin (Courtney B. Vance), wimpy Sam (Iván González) and girlfriend Eva (Lauren German), half-brothers Josh and Bobby (Milo Ventimiglia and Michael Eklund) and Adrien (Ashton Holmes). Confusion leads to anger and eventually violent confrontations as the most diverse group that puts TV&#39;s Survivor collection to woeful shame. The expected arguments first arise over food, water and the lack of facilities (you know….le toilette). But things take the first of many fascinating and unexpected turns when gunned soldiers enter the room and forcefully take one of the survivors away. Their purpose and intention are never fully explained (and Bravo for that) and it became clear very early in The Divide that some of the fill-in-the-blank questions might just be answered with more fill-in-the-blank questions. Director Xavier Gens (Hitman, Frontiers) does a masterful job of keeping the story progressing down a path that will not be foreseen by most audiences. We don&#39;t learn why the city was attacked or by whom, we don&#39;t know what was to become of the extracted survivor and the ending is as bleak as it is open-ended. Most of the characters in The Divide are well rounded and Biehn shines as the no-nonsense hardass. Every character will go through a transformation in the film – some which are easier to swallow than others. We had some troubles with The Divide. Rosanna Arquette&#39;s transformation didn&#39;t seem right and Bobby and Josh go all Doomsday on us which kinda didn&#39;t fit in the timeframe that we had running in our heads (the total time spent in the basement is unknown, but since they still had cigarettes to smoke towards the end of the film, we would suggest that 3 – 5 days might have been the extent of their travails). And at only 100 minutes we could easily have cut 10 minutes out of the print to make a tighter and better paced film. Particularly the ending which plays only with a piano themed score which seemed to go on and on and on. But enough of the negatives. We really, really liked The Divide. The acting was perfect. The casting therefore was perfect. The emotional and physical transformations were terrifying and we found ourselves changes allegiances more than a couple of times through the film. We also have to give kudos to the production crew that were able to make the setting (the basement) almost a character unto itself. The basement is drab, dirty and there is little, if any, light. Yet it had a personality and a claustrophobia to it not unlike the Nostromo in Ridley Scott&#39;s Alien. The Divide screened at the Toronto After Dark Film Festival in 2011 and is set for release in early 2012. Speaking to audience members after the screening, I think I can put an endorsement in without reservation and encourage all fans to do their best to hunt it down.
Better performances might have sold The Divide, but aside from Arquette's fine work as a single mother driven to self-degradation, the cast amplifies the impression of a canned, one-act theater piece.
There are two versions of The Divide. Next to the MPAA-rated &quot;R&quot; version (for disturbing strong violence and sexuality, and for pervasive language) there&#39;s also an unrated cut that&#39;s featured on the US DVD and Blu-ray. Countries like Germany or the UK only got the R-Rated.
