Must see movie review: Exam

        I just got done watching "Exam" and if I have to give "The Human Centipede" credit for anything it would be having the trailer for this movie before it. Very well done, well acted, and well written. Exam is billed as a psychological thriller that delivers greatly on the thriller part of it as well as delivering some intense moments that when you read the Jacket you wouldn't expect.

       The plot of the movie is simple, 8 job applicants are vying for 1 position. They are placed into a room, given 1 question and 80 minutes to provide an answer. Only problem is when they turn over the exam after being given the rules the papers are blank. The rules are simple you can't leave under your own will, you can not spoil your paper, you can't talk to the armed guard at the door, and you can't talk to the man over seeing the test. They end up having to work together to find the question in order to answer it.

       I know that sounds uninteresting which is why this movie was able to deliver so well. It's filmed in real time so you're not jumping all over the place, and you spend an entire 80 minutes in the room with these applicants. In the beginning 1 person attempts to answer the unknown question and is ejected from the room the other 7 are left to decide the lengths they will go to win the coveted job. With some intense scenes, through dialogue and movements, we learn a little about each person in the room and what makes them tick.

       Probably the most well know actor in this movie is Nathalie Cox who was in films like Clash of the Titans and Jumper but is best known for your voice talents as Juno Eclipse in the highly toted video game Star Wars the force unleashed. So you can see you will not be drawn to a big name face on the screen and your able to focus on the writing and directing to sink you into the movie itself.

      Other names you may recognize from small parts in movies include Luke Malby (28 Days later) and Jimi Mistry (Blood Diamond, 2012). There also is an actress that is very unknown, in fact google her name and you'll find nothing, that is superb in this film. Adar Beck may not have stolen the film but she delivered an excellent performance that is worthy of mention.

      I recommend this greatly in fact on IMDB I gave it 9 out of 10 stars. It's a very well done movie.
