Exam


Exam (2009), another mind blowing movie, revolving around 8 candidates to earn their dream job. The tricky part is, it was not normal interview, they were given a blank paper, and yet, they are require to provide their answer after 80min. So, what question should they answer, since there were no question on the blank paper?
In real life, people will get confused with their initial purpose or their ultimate goal when they get to ‘involved’ into the game. Those who stay firm on their character, understand their limits will shine the most.

Synopsis
8 candidates for a top job for a mysterious company gather in a windowless room after having surpassed some previous levels. They are sat in front of a piece of paper which in one sides says "candidate 1", "candidate 2", et cetera. The invigilator (Colin Salmon) arrives, and gives out the rules for the test: inside the room, there'll be no other law that what the company's rules, and - as it's a very important company, it'll be able to do whatever it wants -, the candidates cannot try to communicate with the invigilator himself or with the guard, they cannot spoil the paper and they cannot leave the room for any reason. If they break any of the rules, they would be disqualified. The test would consist in answering only one very simple question. The invigilator asks the candidates whether they have any questions, he sets the clock at 80 minutes and leaves the room.
