Exam (2009)
Blah, just watched Exam, an independent movie by Stuart Hazeldine. Oh never heard of him? neither has anyone else So the movie is about these 8 people who made it to this final stage, in the process of getting some high ranked job in this big corporation. So these fools are in this room, and this guy comes in and goes "blah blah, i have a deep voice..... you cant talk to me or the guard..... there is one question....and one answer..you have 80 minutes to figure this out......any questions?" (or something along those lines)... no one answers anything because, they aren't supposed to talk to him! so they flip over the paper and find out that it is blank! GASP. so basically everyone goes crazy trying to figure out the question and blah blah.
I did enjoy the movie to an extent. The whole movie took place in this one room. no flashbacks, nothing else. just 8 people, in one room, So for them to take those circumstances and still keep me entertained was a pretty successful task. I thought the acting was good. the editing and everything was good, nothing special. I recommend this movie to those who enjoy films that get you involved and that include puzzling plots!, Similar movies that I've seen include 9 dead, cube and even the saw movies have similarities with this movie.
The end result of this movie didn't trigger my "ohhhhh shittttt!!" senses like I anticipated going in, instead I was left thinking..."so...ok......why?....wait whos that?...oh....wait....why though?"
So basically this girl eventually figures out a way to view what was written on the paper by thinking back to what this french guy was saying about "seeing what you want to see" or something like that.. she finds "question 1." on the paper, which isn't a question at all. So then shes like WAIT A TICK? the question was "ARE THERE ANY QUESTIONS?" that the guy said in the beginning of the "Exam". this question "are there any questions?" is referring to, are there any questions on the test, and the answer is No..there aren't any questions on the test. so cool, she won, she got the right answer. but then they throw a curve ball and go HEY YOU KNOW THAT FRENCH GUY, WELL HES THE MAIN GUY OF THIS CORPORATION AND HE FOUND A CURE FOR THIS DISEASE THAT'S KILLING EVERYONE, this part confuses me because I don't see why he was one of the 8 people. There's a lot more to it then what I just explained, but I've been over thinking this way to much, and already forgot half of what I just watched, Corn.
