AltAss Ratings (On a scale of 1 to 5 asses)

Plot:                                      

A solid idea that wasn't quite perfectly formulated.

Writing / Production:           

Struggles to establish a nice rythym but eventually becomes very interesting before the momentum is spoiled by a ridiculous ending. 

Acting:                                  

Mostly decent with a smattering of poor cheeseball moments that stick out badly.

Originality:                            

I think the basic premise is a very original idea but the ending plot twist meant to blow the mind's of the audience is old hat and poorly executed to boot.

Overall:                                 

"Exam" was a film that had a lot going for it but ended up feeling awkward like something was just a little off throughout the entire movie.  In the end the explanation for the tense scenario is completely absurd which does not help the overall impact of the movie.
