    A method to separate the strong from the weak or a method to separate those people who still have some moral and principles from those that push them aside. I'd say it's the latter. Very intelligent script. What people would do for money and a high position. They just step all over others; and the other part, they don't care about what foes on around them (THE PROTEST OUTSIDE). The sad thing is that this movie is not far from reality.

    It's few the things I like about this movie, so I'll just start with that. The story, I must say, was pretty original. It basically developes in only one set and there's not a lot of action to keep things really interesting. It got boring sometimes.
    The actors did an ok job but it was far from outstanding and sometimes it was difficult for me to understand since it had no subtitles and it's a spanish different from my own.
    It was an ok film but I think I could have been better.

    Very strange movie. It has only a few characters and has almost its entire action on only one set. Although it doesn't have a good pacing, this big problem is offset by the great acting performances and the gripping first two thirds. The plot is clever, suspenseful and twisted, and the ending is unexpected. An underrated gem.

    This movie had a really entertaining concept to work with, which allowed for it to basically take place in a single location like Phone Booth. Of course this movie doesn't take place in a phone booth, it takes place in a company conference room in a corporate building. Actually, about 95% of the movie takes place in that room.

    It is always interesting to see how a movie like this will turn out because you really need to find a way to keep the audience interested since the scenery and characters will most likely not be changing.

    The beginning of the movie is probably the most entertaining part. It starts out with a pretty good multiple screen sequence until the 7 characters finally enter the room. The character development and the problems that they are asked to solve are interesting and will keep you glued to the screen. Where many may start to lose interest though is in the middle when the characters start to decrease and you're left looking at the few faces that remain. At this point the story sort of dragged on and the few tests weren't all that interesting anymore. Also, by the end I didn't really find myself routing for anybody to be the selected applicant, although the ending tended to catch my interest again since I was eager to see who would win.

    The acting isn't too bad. For the most part, each character had their own identity and that really helped to keep the movie from becoming a complete bore fest.

    Overall, this movie had an interesting concept and story that played out well for the first half, but the second half is where it really lacked, except for the ending. Still, I have no regrets about watching it and it really gets you thinking about what you would do if a job interview went this way.

    This movie positively EXCELS in the acting dept.and in illustrating Darwin's famous dictum about the "survival of the fittest".
    Along with that was the suspense filled ending which makes it all in all an exciting film.
