Hellen I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.
Glucedee It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.
cmovies-99674 PROS: The ending was hands down, undeniably, no ifs ands or buts the best part of the movie. Everything that a good ending needs, plus some, was seen with EXAM. The ending made everything clear, the ending made me remember the film (even if it wasn't to good), and the ending made the rest of the movie better. If you have ever seen a movie that just takes your breath away, that really takes you and shifts your whole vision of the movie upside down. It just absolutely shook me.CONS: Acting, poor. Believability, horrible. Intensity, nonexistent. I don't even know where to begin. This movie really suffered from many different sections. The whole cast wasn't bad actors, but they weren't good. That's for sure. I felt bad for them, because the script gave so little room for creativity in character development, but they still didn't take ahold of what they did have, which made the film suffer. Each person lacked that extra pop you need to be on screen. This, I felt, hurt the intensity of the film. That would probably be the worst attribute in my opinion. The movie was just simply not scary. I understand that psychological horrors come at intensity in a different way, but this movie just didn't have any period. It just felt very blah.www.chorror.com
Mantagi Mantagi i love movies with concepts like this one but they've been done to death, and i especially hate movies like this one when it's the most clichéd piece of film you can find on netflix.speaking of racism let's talk about the annoying overdone stereotypes this film has in it. of course the one (only) attractive white guy is sexist, racist, rude, impatient, etc. the Indian'a the "nice" one despite looking and acting like a compete d-bag. the black guy is super religious, the nerd is supposedly autistic, i can go on.the plot is pushed along and nothing comes naturally. none of the character's ideas are their own, and their observations they make in the film are very obvious. it's like, these are supposed to be really smart highly skilled people applying for the job and they all have the mentality of immature 9th graders. i really don't like this film. it's just not entertaining and honestly it's really rude. it makes me want to spit on the person who made it.
Ahmed Abo Elela I began watching this movie with high expectations as I love these kind of movies with few actors in a closed locations .. The beginning was promising and fast and up to the point .. No time was wasted in preparing for the story .. But as the story proceeded things got screwed .. The development of the events was not interesting at all .. I got bored of the story so quickly ..The way they were trying to discover the nature of the question and the way they tried to disqualify each others were ridiculous and boring .. And the actors were so bad that I couldn't understand where they stood from what is happening .. The way they reacted for extreme things such as the act of homicide was shallow as if they were a group of killers not ordinary people in an interview for a job!! And right before the end of the movie when you think that it can't get worse I was surprised with what considered to be the twist at the end .. Not because of the twist itself of course, but because it made me hate every second I had wasted on watching this movie .. A silly twist that didn't add nothing at the end and demonstrated how miserable the movie was .. I don't recommend that movie at all for anyone, unless you want to know how a trivial story and modest actors can meet to make you hate a category of movies you used to love before ..
ncdistrict Remember when you were in fourth grade and your teacher told you the riddle about traveling to St. Ives? Imagine making an entire movie about that riddle.The point of this movie is that ten good actors can effectively illustrate the ignorance of contemporary consumers of psychological thrillers.The premise is that eight job applicants have made it through a rigorous sequence of screening processes and earned themselves the opportunity to sit for a test which will presumably determine whether or not they get employed as an assistant for the CEO of a pharmaceutical company.They have 80 minutes to complete the test.They are each given a sheet of paper with "Applicant __ " printed on it, and a set of simple, verbal instructions.The sheet of paper has no other writing on it.Things start off interesting, because the token white male (who naturally is an asshole and a hypocrite) figures out some interesting things about the instructions for the exam. Then things go down hill.The allegedly outstanding candidates quickly start to flip out because they don't know what the question to the test is.The characters, who have for some reason given themselves "code names", set about breaking things-- the viewer is supposed to regard this stupid behavior as a reasonable attempt at problem solving.One of the candidates breaks one of the rules by communicating with the guard by flipping him the bird. The candidate is not thrown out of the exam due to shoddy writing.Predictably, the candidates become paranoid and resort to violence.In the end, the viewer learns that the writer of this movie believes that impatience, rash behavior, following the group, whining, and not recognizing a trick question when you see it are all qualities which pharmaceutical companies desire in an employee.The acting was great, which made the movie engrossing and I would even say it was worth watching for that reason. The premise of the whole thing being a job interview however, required a level of suspension of disbelief which is likely only possible for people who do not know what it is like to work extremely hard to achieve something such as an outstanding test score or employment at a highly competitive job.
