Oddly, the more one thinks about this flick, the more questions arise...
First, back to the purpose of the expendable people to be there - I feel it was both to keep the creatures in and people out and to hide what was going on. And I think the creatures wanted out to reproduce and spread and to probably eat. And that makes me wonder why none tried to escape all the time the two were down in the bowels of hell.
Next, if there was an East/West agreement, then where were those representing the East and why weren't they also responding? Or, did the West keep the true nature of what was going on from the East? Because why would both the East and West mutually agree to what was going on in the pursuit of super soldiers? That seems counterproductive.
I'm not trying to critique this thing to death and also, some of this may have been addressed and I missed it. Just curious. It is a good escapist type flick.

The girl was from the eastern european country, hence representing the East ;)

No, I meant their own Eastern Sigourney Weaver-type CEO or a like-minded representative - and this goes back to the biggest question - why would the West and East enter into an agreement in the same race to create the best super-soldier.
That is unless the recruitment of such people was done without the knowledge of the East.

Unless, Darklake was responsible for both the west AND the east towers. Which is the question that I had. Drasa’s father was dying and he was going to kill himself or so he said, so I understand her wanting to be there for a year.
But again was Darklake the organization that placed both parties there? Levi and her? Depends on what pull they had. After all what was going on originally was a consortium of American, Russian, English alliances so it’s not out of the question they ran the whole show.
