MK Ultra (2022)
4/10
Slow Low Budget True Story
13 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
I saw MK Ultra, starring Anson Mount-Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, Star Trek:Discovery_tv; Jason Patric-Wayward Pines_tv, The Losers; Jaime Ray Newman-The Punisher_tv, Bates Motel_tv and Jen Richards-Better Things_tv, Blindspot_tv.

This is a low budget movie that is based on true events that happened in the 1960's. The C. I. A. Were using drugs to experiment on it's own American citizens-and some non Americans too. Anson plays a psychiatrist that is deceived into working for the C. I. A. By Jason. Of course, Jason doesn't tell Anson all the facts of how Anson's research is being used-that's where the deceiving part comes in. Jaime plays Anson's wife and Jen is one of Anson's patients. LSD is one of the main drugs used in the tests. MK Ultra was the code name of the C. I. A. Operation and the MK stands for Midnight Climax-I guess whoever came up with the initials wasn't a very good speller in school. If you have never heard about this story-I am old enough to remember it-I guess it could be interesting but it is a little slow and only picks up at the very end when they try to put a Hollywood ending on it.

It is rated NR but it contains violence, sexual content-including nudity-and drug use, of course, and has a running time of 1 hour & 38 minutes.

It's not one that I would buy on DVD or even rent. If I was you, I'd wait until it's on tv.
