This film is a psychological thriller that will keep you riveted throughout. It is an English film and therefore the actors are not familiar to an American audience. That becomes an asset, however, as we put our own take on the personalities of each of the applicants for a coveted position.
Eight final candidates for a prestigious corporate position are ushered into a room where there are eight tables and chairs, each with as pencil and paper on the table. They are given instructions by a man known only as the invigilator to answer one question in eighty minutes. Before he leaves, he gives them three rules which they must obey or be disqualified. They must not try to communicate with him or with the guard that is in the room; they must not spoil their paper either accidentally or intentionally; they must not leave the room.

A battle of wits commences as each tries to prove his worth. One candidate gives everyone a name according to their looks - white, black, brown, deaf, dark, blonde, brunette, etc. They realize they must put their combined intelligence to work. Black explains that ultraviolet light or certain liquids might bring out invisible ink on their exam papers. They are careful not to break any rules; they realize that they are not forbidden to talk with one another, to stand up and walk around, and to manipulate anything in the room which might help their case.
Smashing the lights to get at the inner ultraviolet lights does not work. Setting off the sprinklers, thinking that the liquid might reveal hidden letters on their exam papers does not work either. We are shown the digital clock at regular intervals to add to the suspense.
White is a narcissistic tyrant who attempts to eliminate the other candidates by tricking them into breaking the rules. He succeeds in a few cases and the number of candidates slowly shrinks to four. Brunette seems to be the only candidate who knows anything about the company; she is immediately suspected of being a plant which she denies vociferously. She claims that she is merely trying to obtain a promotion. Deaf is eliminated early when he spoils his paper and is ushered out by the guard, leaving his spectacles behind in the scuffle.
The ending is not predictable; it is very satisfying however. You will have to watch this movie to gather up the details at the end which clarify the entire picture. I enjoyed every minute of it.
