Looks rather interesting, like a 'Lord of The Flies' angle with human nature and society falling apart.

Basic premise of the book is that tensions rise because the block is divided into 3 income brackets. Top 3rd is the richest. Middle 3rd is less wealthy and bottom 3rd is least wealthy. The richest get to park closest to the block cos they spend more time in the elevators and when the lower floor people have parties they start throwing bottles on to the rich people's cars. The rich people respond by propping open the elevators at the top when they're not using them so the rest of the building has to use the stairs. They also start dropping dust bombs down the rubbish chutes which covers the lower floors in filth. From then on it just descends into total chaos with running battles on the shopping and leisure floors that separate the classes, murder, rape etc.

The idea is interesting enough, but I don't think it was conveyed well in this movie. I don't know if it's the fault of the source material or just the director's approach, but none of the characters felt relatable to me. Everything was too damn distant for me to give a damn.
