I recalled that Zimbardo wasn't too happy with the depiction, and it 
didn't take me long to find where he said it.  He complained, for 
example, that  "It makes Stanford and me and psychology look bad". As 
for wanting to have a look at it, from the description and Zimbardo's 
comments,  it seems to contain sufficient gratuitous violence that I 
will certainly pass it up.
