  This movie had a really entertaining concept to work with, which allowed for it to basically take place in a single location like <i>Phone Booth</i>. 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.<p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>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.

And in the case of corporations, there is a sense of entitlement when they have multiple applicants for the same position and can simply pick and choose however they please. The film highlights an extreme but not totally unrealistic tactic, the Gronholm Method, which turns out to be a complex form of sadistic degradation, setting the candidates against each other in order to tear each other down. So, is the carrot at the end of the stick really worth it? And why do we have to play their games, anyway? This is exactly why the protestors are out in the streets battling with the police.[/font]
