In the 2000s, many films tried to replicate the success of the <I>Saw</i> films by presenting a "may the best person win"-type of scenario, and we'd gobble it right up. <I>Exam</i> does belong in this pot, but after everything that our characters go through, the reward (a job) is a once in a lifetime opportunity at a company full of secrets that has done wonders for the world. Strong character development helped move this film through. When we learn about most of their backgrounds, their strengths and weaknesses become available to others to take advantage of in order to succeed. And, oh boy, do people go to certain lengths to be "the one".
Through its twists and turns, <I>Exam</i> is a solid, clever film from beginning to end. While watching, pay attention to literally every detail. It'll be worth it at the end.
<B>Film setup</b>:
LG OLED TV G6 in Perfect Black. <I>Exam</i> is a very dark film, and the TV's Perfect Black mode made it an incredible watch.
