Movie Reviews of Fermat's Room
Movie Review: A puzzle piece of substance
Summary: 5 Stars
Clever plotting and great acting. Keeps you guessing right to the final minute. Wouldn't you know such an intelligent story didn't come out of Hollywood!
There is one minor gripe I have, and it has to do with its being a Spanish production -- there is no English audio. Which is a shame because the acting is so good. While you're reading the dialog you can't examine the actor's faces. So the only way you can really appreciate the intertwining of the plotting and the characters is to see it two or more times to get the plot and dialog into your short-term memory, then watch it again so you can pay proper attention to the expressions on the actor's faces.
I'm no expert on logical puzzles, so I had no problem with the rudimentary quality of the puzzles in the film. Which I would guess goes also for the vast majority of the movie-going public.
This film would be outstanding if remade in English.
Summary of Fermat's Room
ONE ROOM. FOUR GENIUS MINDS.TOGETHER, THEY MUST THINK INSIDE THE BOX... OR DIE.
Four famed mathematicians, all strangers to one another, are invited to the remote home of a mysterious man known only as Fermat . Once there, they are locked in a room and given a series of logic puzzles that must be solved within one minute each. For each late answer, hydraulic presses will push the walls closer together. Why have they been placed in this elaborate death trap? What is their connection to each other? And for genius minds about to be brutally crushed, is staying alive the ultimate enigma? Federico Luppi (Guillermo Del Toro s CRONOS and PAN S LABYRINTH) and Lluís Homar (Almodóvar s BAD EDUCATION and BROKEN EMBRACES) star in the stunning Spanish thriller that The Daily Express calls ingenious and thoroughly entertaining. FERMAT S ROOM is a nail-biting fight for survival!
