    Storyline

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      When working on the puzzle that revolves around two guards where one always lies and one always tells the truth, Oliva remarks that she remembers this from a movie. She's referring to the movie Labyrinth (1986) in which the character Sarah (Jennifer Connelly) had to solve the same problem.
    • Goofs
      Oliva Sabuco is said to have died at age 26. Although the exact date of her death is unknown, she was approximately 60 years old at the time of her death.
    • Quotes

      Policeman: Don't you know that 28% of people who die on the roads travel like you, without their safety belt?

      Fermat: So all the rest, the other 72%, die with their belt on.

    • Crazy credits
      During the end credits, all accents are added later than the text appears. The character Hilbert is seen doing that continuously during the movie.
    • Connections
      Referenced in Nine Dead (2009)
    • Soundtracks
      Preludio en Si menor BWV 855
      Composed by Johann Sebastian Bach (as J. S. Bach). Score by A. Siloti

      Performed by Federico Jusid

    7/10
    An intelligent thriller.
    Four mathematician's are invited to a home, to discuss ideas. Once there they soon discover that it's a trap, where they have to solve problems, while the walls slowly close in on them...

    On paper, this film sounds like an intelligent version of Saw. And there are slight similarities, but it's a much cleverer film. The plot is well thought out, as it keeps you guessing on who is behind it all. The film is very well acted by the cast, and the writers and directors Luis Piedrahita and Rodrigo Soperia keep the tension through out. The set design of the single room is impressive as the clever use of camera angles to add to the building tension as the room gets smaller.

    Despite being a film where they use a lot of problems so it relies on the brain more than brawn, the problems themselves aren't overly complicated, and are easy to understand.

    If there is a slight let-down, I thought the ending isn't as clever as the rest of the film, but despite this I really enjoyed the film and would recommend it.
