I have never heard of the director before watching this, but I might have to start watching more of his films. I took a major bet on this, and boy, was I glad that I did. This film should have been a hit! I wish there was a term that I could use to describe indie films that deserve to become acclaimed (financially and critically). If there is, I can think of any at the moment.
Watch it for yourselves, have an informed opinion, and enjoy the damn movie!

Exceptional thriller. I can't give the movie enough praise, but I have to say the story idea that the government (writers) uses to justify their study is laughable (see Spoiler) in the real world. Everything is above your average thriller here. The story is great, the directing excellent, the casting and acting super, and all the rest involved with the production are far above average. I was glued to my seat and never quite sure what to expect.
Spoiler: The writers didn't get the fact you don't murder several people to get "one" person that will do your bidding when you could have had several if not all of them willing to forfeit their lifes for their country. So in a nutshell their inability to analyze human nature lead to a waste of human resources. If the writers did know that but ignored it, they just went for the shock value of cold blooded murder of innocent people and that makes it slightly less of a movie overall to me at least.
Recommendations: Exam , The Employer , and Saw II

The Ivies were exploring MKULTRA in the 1920s. The Nazis and the KGB pushed the limits. Since WW II all nations are doing it.
Wait until a thriller is done on mass mind control. Don Draper meets CD Jackson.
Point blank: it is a fantastic, highly-entertaining film from several standpoints. Engrossing and hard-to-predict plot, some superb acting, great ending, relevance (War on Terror aspect).
Sure it has some holes...[MEGA SPOILER]
- What if one of the "candidates" needed to use the bathroom during the elimination? I assume there are no bathroom breaks.
- Why does America need suicide bombers when it has hi-tech, long-range guided missles??
Overall though, highly recommended. I WILL purchase a DVD.
Here we have four people enter a testing facility. They answered and ad in the paper and all need the money the test will pay them. Tim Hutton plays one of the testees. He's done this many times before and is very comfortable with the situation. He soon finds out (as do they all) this is no regular test. It's a process of elimination with "elimination" being the key word.
It's hard to say more without spoiling the entire film but there is much to see here. You'll know or recognize most of the key actors. Tim Hutton, Clea Duvall (Zodiac) Chloe Sevigny (Zodiac) and Shea Wigham to name a few. Like "The Exam" essentially the entire movie takes place in one room. The production team does a nice job of keeping things from getting boring in there. It's shot well and the sound is decent, though I found myself having to turn things up a bit to catch all the dialogue. The acting is good and the story is very good save for one particular item, but it's a biggy.
This test is carried out for one particular purpose and I found the premise absurd. I can think of no reason we need what is being tested for. If someone who feels there is a reason for this test and wishes to comment on this review please do. I simply cannot find one. But this is why I can only give this movie three stars. It's a great idea built on a sandy foundation. This is not to say the movie isn't worth viewing. It is. And you don't get the punchline until the last few minutes so the viewing experience isn't lessened. Just know that you might want to do someone grievous bodily harm when you find out what it's all about.
That being said, this is a good view. If you're into tight little thriller/ dramas this will satisfy you.

Quelle déception, se film est ennuyeux, l'histoire très très bof.... malgré les personnages qui s'en sorte pas trop mal.
Voila je ne retrouve pas du tout du "cube" et encore moins du "saw".
A voir une fois et après au placard....
