An interesting thriller/drama.
The story: six people are put into a room as the last stage of a competition for an ultimate job. They are given a piece of paper that they cannot mark and they cannot talk to the guards or address the cameras before time is up. There is one question and one answer. They need to figure out what the question is and give the answer to get the ultimate job.
Was it good?
A was good. Not great, though. The first half the mystery of what the heck is going on is pretty interesting. At first the people decide to work together. This feeling out process is probably the most interesting for me. There were also hints brought up here about an infection and the type of company they were trying to get a job with that added an interesting element. After that they begin trying different things, all of which seem strange and outlandish (smashing lights, setting off a water sprinkler). The logic that they were using certainly wasn't any sort of logic I was familiar with. And while there had been those earlier hints of the corporation this job was for, nothing really more came out of it. The second half gets more tense as the people turn on each other, but it felt less interesting and more a generic "Only one gets out alive" thriller.
Still, while it wasn't great and it faded in the second half, there was a lot of interesting stuff here, and it was very well acted for a small movie.
