Exam (9/10)

This is what I've been waiting for. A smart, psychological, thrilling mystery. It's "12 Angry Men" for a new generation, a more sadistic and impatient people. "Exam" shows that big budget and big actors aren't the requirements for a great movie.

The entire movie takes place in one room... it's much more interesting than that though. Eight candidates are applying for a  dream job. They have made it past all the other fierce competition and here they are at the final level. They enter the room and sit down, they each have a desk, a chair, a paper and a pencil. They are given three rules and as long as they don't break any of them in 80 minutes then they can do whatever they want. One question is there and only one answer to it. They begin and on the other side of the paper is... nothing (dramatic drum roll). So now the eight have 80 minutes to figure out the answer to a question they don't know. The eight all have distinct attributes and personalities that lead to very different conclusions throughout. Finding out what they need to know is so entertaining to watch that it's surprising that it's all about one answer, one question, and one room. Honestly look at the description I posted at the top of this. If that looks interesting to you you'll love it. I sure did. It'll keep you guessing to the very end.

9/10
Recommendation: It's a great psychological battle of wits. This is one hell of a ride.
