My issues with this....


When White starts to run the show and chosing nicknames it goes downhill for me. I dought a room full of intelligent, ambitious and leader-type people just let some bully-dude call them black/ brown/ blonde etc.

White was kinda cool and kinda funny in the beginning, but overplayed it totally. What mental retard would shoot and kill someone at point blank to get a job. Not most people for sure.
Also, the gun firing pills was not really safe if he hit Black in the eye. Plus a mental patient like White could have broken a chair and stabbed someone instead. He was a loose cannon and someone could easily have died.

When the wall-clock starts from 80 min, White unusally and anti-authority-like sets his own stop-watch. But "forgets" to check it in the end. I think not.

White has the virus. He needs to take one pill every hour on the hour to survive. He leaves his house with no clue of how long the interview/ exam is going to last. And still he brings one pill. ONE...? Just stupid!

Dark apperently was a self-harmer. I find it unlikely that a woman in her shoes and self-confidence is a self-harmer.

Not to mention Brown. A pro-gambler at that kind of job. Administrative executive? Ehhh...I think not.

Also, they dont think its strange that a french guy who does not speak english is attending this english exam...and what was that eating paper all about?

Have you seen the apprentice tv show (which was an inspiration for the director) where supposedly intelligent businesspeople are out through a 10 week interview.
Bar The violence, only just in some cases, they act just like this though they wouldn't have thought about all the lights and photographic paper.
In fact the people in this film were a damn site more capable than the real world counterparts.
I'd say this film is unrealistic because no-one in real life would come up with so many theory's and found ways to execute them.
Pun intended

He was so sure he'd won. Plus, he had no reason to suspect the timer had been changed.

Self harm has nothing to do with one's station in life or confidence.

Well, he didn't get it, did he?

Just because he only speaks French doesn't mean he doesn't understand or even speak English.

and what was that eating paper all about?


Didn't really pay attention?

Can't stop the signal.
