    Storyline

    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 Alexander Siloti (as A. Siloti)

      Performed by Federico Jusid

    Superb
    I'm glad finally I found a movie that really worth watching. I was getting disappointment each time whatever I watched these days. It wasn't meeting my expectations. However, After so so many days I came across this one. The story kept me edge of the seat whole time. It's puzzles perplexed me and made me wonder how the director write this masterpiece. It has so many twists and each of the twist made you belive, yeah! That's it then another twists comes.

    Most of scenes of the movie are captured in a single room yet so beautifully executed with a amazing story. The artist also did amazing work, their expressions!! Though the story is simple, like four mathematicians are invited over a dinner to discuss over something. Then, the thrill starts when the host left the room and suddenly a puzzles appears on a phone with a timer on it. It begins to getting shrink if the puzzles answer isn't correct or exceeds the time. Now,all have to work together to survive. Moreover, They have to find answer why they are invited? What is host motive? Did they find anything wrong?

    It's a worth watching movie. I don't understand why it is so poorly rated. I must admit the puzzles are kind of complex, you have to pause for some moment to properly understand. But,still the back stories are breathtaking and kept me hocked.
