Exam (2010)

No point recommending those blockbusters everyone already knows.

So for now I'll try to recommend some of those "lesser-known" movies (not shown in local cinemas) if I happen to come across one.

This is a psychological thriller film... shall not spoil it for you too much.



Basically, eight talented candidates have reached the final stage of selection to join the ranks of a mysterious and powerful corporation.

Entering a windowless room, the invilgilator gives them 80 minutes to answer one simple question. He outlines three rules they must obey or be disqualified:
1)Don't talk to him or the armed guard by the door,
2)Don't spoil their papers,
3)Don't leave the room.

He starts the clock and leaves. The candidates turn over their question papers, only to find they're completely blank.



Got you interested?

Haha.

The movie is REALLY good at the start. You'll definitely like it if you like stuff like Deathnote and Liar's Game.

It kind of go downhill after the first 30 minutes though, as they shifted to focus more on the interaction between the characters.

It got better towards the end, and as for the ending where they reveal the "answer" to the "question"... well, it's is really up to individual preference.. Some will like it and some will hate it. Haha.

Clue: It is something planted very early and very subtly in the movie. Haha.

Overall, nice way to spend 90 minutes.
