This is another five men enter one man leaves film. This has become a popular genre due to the pyschological element and the low budget aspect. In this film five people are competing for one job position. They are abducted and placed in a cell. They agree not to kill each other... blah blah blah.
To break up the cell action, there are flashbacks to their interviews and abductions. They are all asked the same question, "Is there anything you wouldn't do for this company?"
Malcolm McDowell, one of my "B" movie favorites plays the role of the employer. Although what owner of a large corporation conduct their own hiring interviews?
There are better "let's kill each other" films out there.
Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex. No nudity.

It is special!
This is the kind of movie I usually do not like. All the action in a closed frame, only dialogue, right, there are also four crimes, boring. But, the quality of the actors' play, I mean the five job candidates, all very natural, they pick up the film. Plus, Malcolm McDowell, "deadly serious" and very special talented. It is a little slow and predictable, even hard to believe that Keith Caverns (Michael DeLorenzo) can strangle with a tie the giant Mike Drake (Matthew Willig) or that Billie Lewis then kills Keith Caverns with her shoe heel. Except that, everything is like in life, I have seen with my own eyes such characters, in real life, in different working places, capable of anything for a job.

Lets keep it short : plain crap movie !
Can someone explain to me where the thriller part was? At least I have found the fast-forward button on the remote control.
Put 5 people in a closed room with the following task : who leaves that room alive gets a decent job offer. And after that you can see how creative a person can be with a belt, a stiletto heel or a piece of a mobile phone.
This was an incredible empty and dismal movie. The acting was so tragically bad you could start crying. Even the crying part of Willig was so pitiful. The rest of the candidates were third-rate actors to me. Very bad performances. Worst of all, the fact that McDowell joined this made me speechless. From "A Clockwork Orange" to this monstrosity ... how low can you fall. Probably a new trend in movie land: put a known actor on the DVD box so that there is a minority who'll do the effort to watch it. I also fell for this marketing trick.
Something I have learned from this film: I'll be very suspicious when I'm applying for another job. I give this one a 1/10 just for myself because I did the effort to push the "Play" button !
