Movie review of "Exam"

I've returned with yet another movie review! Netflix's is AWESOME! Anyway to my next movie, yet another British flick, Exam.

The plot is that 8 people enter a room for an exam. They are all finalist for a position in an exclusive company. They are given directions and 80 minutes to take this exam. Each person has a piece of paper in front of them. However...there is nothing on the paper. From there people are figuring out how to solve the riddle they've been given to get the biggest chance any of them have had.

As one character says this is one big mind fuck. They are told there is one question and only one answer in this room. If they try to communication with the people in charge they are disqualified. If they leave they room they are disqualified. If they soil the paper in front of them they re disqualified. 80 minutes and go.

From here the people are trying to figure out just what this one question is. I really enjoyed the psychological aspect of it. Is it all for one or is it all about number one? Is this test to see their team work or just how cut throat they can be?

If you like dialog heavy plot lines this is a good movie for you. 3.75 out of 5.
