Storyline

Eight talented candidates have reached the final stage of selection to join the ranks of a mysterious and powerful corporation. Entering a windowless room, an Invigilator gives them eighty minutes to answer one simple question. He outlines three rules they must obey or be disqualified: don't talk to him or the armed guard by the door, don't spoil their papers and don't leave the room. He starts the clock and leaves. The candidates turn over their question papers, only to find they're completely blank. After the initial confusion has subsided, one frustrated candidate writes 'I believe I deserve...,' and is promptly ejected for spoiling. The remaining candidates soon figure out they're permitted to talk to each other, and they agree to cooperate in order to figure out the question: then they can compete to answer it. At first they suspect the question may be hidden in their papers like a security marker in a credit card, and they figure out ways to change their environment to expose ...

A Mind Boggling Ride
6 August 2010 | by See all my reviews

First of all Luke Mably (White) was absolutely amazing in his role.I like him in "The Gates" too.The start is really promising and since its a puzzling film so it keeps you thinking till the end.The direction seemed absolutely amazing and I had no clue that its a low budget film.To some one who said all the cast was unknown please note that "Brown" whose name is Jimi Mistry was in 2012 and that was a really big movie.The invigilator was in the James Bond movies and in the Resident Evil movie.The film kept a tight grip over me right from the start to the close to the end.But the ending was a bit of a letdown for me.All in all it was a really nice movie and it keeps you guessing.If you like solving puzzles and mysteries then definitely go for this movie you'll enjoy and if you like movies like SAW then its definitely not for you.
