“Exam” (2009) was a good psychological thriller — eight extremely intelligent executives are forced to compete for a dream job.  Except the group interview turns out to be a bizarre social experiment, and things eventually turn brutal.

There are some pacing problems.  (Way too much time, for example, is devoted to discussing the room’s lighting.)  But there’s a smart, fun script, some nice surprises, and you really do get the sense that these are borderline geniuses in a battle of wits.  I could never write a story like this – that’s for sure.

Incidentally, the individual I liked the best was awarded the job.  I thought that this person was the one I would have most liked and trusted.
