The Employer (2013)
Run of the mill story.... "Exam" was a better version....
I've seen so many of these types of movies. Cube (also has 2 sequels) was one of the earlier good ones (where random people are stuck in various adjoining rooms with "puzzles to solve"). A more recent one that is better than Employer is Exam (2009) - rated 6.8 and with many great twists. Other similar movies involving people killing each other off in a "room" include: Devil 6.3 (2010) - people stuck in an elevator, The Killing Room 5.7(2009) - people in an scientific experiment, Unknown 6.5 (2006) - people stuck in a warehouse, Fermat's Room 6.6 (2007 - foreign language) - 4 mathematicians in a rm, The Method 7.3 (2005 - foreign language) - interview process Overall Cube (the first one) wins with 7.4 rating and oddly enough being the oldest (1997). Enjoy these movies if you like the genre.
Starbuck (2011)
Perhaps an odd topic, but extremely well executed movie. The first three minutes are possibly offensive - IE TMI (too much information) lol
As a Canadian, I am truly proud of this film. I am a film fanatic and watch both American and "Foreign Films" with passion. Lately, I have become somewhat cynical of Hollywood movies. We all need to realize that the world is larger than Hollywood. There are amazing foreign films that are truly amazing. And many that are so good that they are picked up for a re-make in Hollywood. Think of recent movies such as the Girl with Dragon Tattoo,Headhunters, and now this one (and there are so many more, especially Korean ones). All are amazing original movies that deserve to be seen in their original state, regardless of how Hollywood changes them. No disrespect to Hollywood. Often, Hollywood can even sweeten the plot and make the movie even better. However, there is something to be said about seeing the original movie (even if it has to be subtitled) to appreciate the initial efforts by the cast, director and crew. This one stands out as one of the best that Canada has ever produced and worthy of your time and consideration.
