The enter a windowless room and an Invigilator gives them 80 minutes to answer one simple question. He outlines three rules they must obey or be disqualified: don’t talk to him or the armed guard by the door, don’t spoil their papers, and don’t leave the room. He starts the clock and leaves. The candidates turn over their question papers–and discovers that they’re completely blank. After the initial confusion has subsided, one frustrated candidate writes ‘I believe I deserve…,’ and is promptly ejected for spoiling. The remaining candidates soon figure out they’re permitted to talk to each other, and they agree to cooperate in order to figure out the question: then they can compete to answer it. At first they suspect the question may be hidden in their papers like a security marker in a credit card, and they figure out ways to change their environment to expose the hidden words. But light, liquids and other plans all come to naught. Soon enough, the candidates begin to uncover one another’s backgrounds, prejudices, and hidden agendas. Tensions rise as the clock steadily descends towards zero, and each candidate must decide how far they are willing to go to secure the ultimate job . . ..
Plot: The final candidates for a highly desirable corporate job are locked together in an exam room and given a test so simple and confusing that tension begins to unravel.

Exam is an entertaining movie about a stressful situation in a selection process. It could have been more interesting wouldn’t it have been because it is deeply inspired in the original play El mètode Grönholm by Jordi Galceran and its following movie El método, by Marcelo Piñeyro, which are both much better.
A fun one-room mystery that keeps you entertained throughout. Read my full review here.http://www.hweird1reviews.com/allreviews/exam-review
Good effort but loses it’s way
This is a low budget but pretty ingenious thriller that unfortunately doesn’t quite pay off at the end.8 candidates are at the last hurdle of an application process and find themselves setting an unusual exam whereby one candidate will get the job. The film is set up nicely as you get to know each of the candidates. Most of them are pretty unlikeable and based on caricatures, in fact it is like watching an episode of The Apprentice at times.
The acting is mostly just adequate though I thought Chukwudi Iwuji as Black was excellent.
The film keeps you watching as you try and second guess the outcome but the ending is pretty disappointing. A more worthy ending to an intriguing film would have meant this rated much higher. However this is worth a watch and it deserves some credit for trying something different.
Terrific filming, a small-budget conceit, and a plot stretched to the breaking point
Exam (2009)What a bizarre movie. It’s so beautifully filmed, almost virtuosic in its use of focus and close up and light, you almost forget that the plot is a highly contrived package of clever ideas. When you do think about the plot, and the various holes that open up in the logic of it, you are almost forced to enjoy it for the visuals. And for the acting, which has some real high points.
You also marvel at how the entire movie is shot in a single room (with a glimpse of hallway a few times). I suppose you might bow to the film’s makers for pulling off so much with so little. The result is intelligent and a little bit suspenseful at its best moments. When it begins it is absolutely fascinating, from the opening scenes establishing the characters to the first laying out of the rules (although there is a drama that reminded me for some reason of “Deal or No Deal” at its tackiest). Then some of the characters break out of the futurist mode and we have normal people vying to win the game, the contest to be hired by the mysterious health products company behind the scenes. (This part will remind everyone of a stylized and a bit false seeming “The Apprentice” even to the point that you might wish for a Donald Trump to appear from behind the dark screen and prod them along.)
By the end, I think most people will either be a bit tired of it all, or mostly incredulous. It pulls out lots of tricks, and we are inevitably a little surprised by the final turns of events. But I’m not sure it lives up to the high standards set at the start. Get sucked in, sure, but be prepared to stick it out with effort.
