Exam (2008)




Genre: Thriller

Average Netflix Rating: 3.5 stars

Synopsis: In this psychological thriller, eight job applicants in a guarded, windowless room are given instruction, exams and 80 minutes to answer one discerning question that may win them a prime position. But they soon discover this is no ordinary test. The exams are blank. With one ejected for attempting to answer the unknown question, the remaining seven must decide what they will do and how far each will go for the coveted job.

How do you make a movie, a thriller non-the-less about a job interview??? Make it for a position people are willing to kill to get, and make the interview about 1 simple question. The problem is... no one knows the question. Maybe it's printed in invisible ink? Maybe it's printed in glow-in-the-dark ink so you should kill the lights? Maybe the ink is activated by heat, but what do you burn? This movie is EXACTLY why I wanted to do this blog, Bc there are movies out there that no one has heard of but you should be watching. I like my thrillers to be smart, and this is certainly one of them. Who's lying? Who's a mole? What is the job?? and most importantly... What is the question?? The answer is so simple and in your face the entire time, and like many of the candidates you realize... You should have known the answer but you just weren't smart enough... I don't want to write any more Bc the fun of this movie is discovering facts along the way with the characters? I say try it - take The Exam...



Where should you put it in your Q? Towards the top...
