Review of Exam

Exam (2009)
5/10
Any questions?
29 July 2010
Warning: Spoilers
The set-up is obviously borrowed from a vastly superior Italo-Argentinian-Spanish co-production "The Method": a number of carefully selected candidates gathered in a secluded room are supposed to hold a tricky qualification test. The sole winner that complies with stringent (yet noticeably weird) restraints and finds the right solution to an obscure assignment will eventually grab a high executive position with a company (noone is aware of).

Capable cast, credible acting, elaborate and well thought-out dialogs, promising start, gradually elevating suspense and tension among the candidates will maintain interest throughout (almost) the entire length of the film.

I only have a minor question: Would you believe that such minuscule and perhaps insignificant detail as nonsensical ending (based on a ludicrous resolution worthy of kindergarten) may be so dumb that it can easily betray high expectations and completely ruin initially positive impression?

Any more questions?
