I have never heard of this movie before but it was a very cheap DVD so I though why not have a look ? Basically, it is one of those cheap psychological thriller, strongly reminding me of 'Cube' and 'Saw'. I liked the scenes inside the 'room' which were pretty tense and well acted but I didn't like much the scenes outside the 'room' which tried to add some mystery to the whole proceedings but faile... read more

The allure of a littFour volunteers sign up for what initially appears to be a typical paid research study, only to discover that they've unwittingly become involved with a classified government program that was said to have been terminated nearly two decades ago, in this tense psychological thriller from director Jonathan Liebesman. The allure of a little extra cash proving too powerful to resist, four strangers decide to partake in a paid research study. As the study gets underway, the group is presented with a series of questions, and given a finite window of time in which each individual member must submit a unique numerical answer. At first, the participants all assume that the subject who gives the most obviously incorrect answer will be removed from the experiment, though it doesn't take long for the group to realize that the correct answer isn't always the answer that the researchers are looking for. Meanwhile, as the brooding Dr. Phillips (Peter Stormare) attempts to manipulate the study to get the answers he wants, the newest member of his team, military psychologist Ms. Reilly (Chloe Sevigny) begins questioning the ethics of such a diabolical experiment....

I like films with the premise of stacking a group of people in one room, without them specifically knowing what's happening or what's going to happen, and twists and turns happen etc. This is somewhat that kind of film, only this time there are some Government conspiracy things in it that didn't make too much sense for me.

I liked the scenes inside the 'room' which were pretty tense and well acted but I didn't like much the scenes outside the 'room' which tried to add some mystery to the whole proceedings but failed miserably. The biggest mistake they made, in my opinion, is that they try to make it all sound very smart and clever but it's not. Especially, with the ending, when you discover the whole 'concept', I was stricked by how dumb and contrived this project actually was.
