Summoned to a remote warehouse by the enigmatic Fermat (Federico Luppi), four brilliant mathematicians are given pseudonyms -- Galois (Alejo Sauras), Hilbert (Lluís Homar), Olivia (Elena Ballesteros) and Pascal (Santi Millán) -- and tasked with solving highly complex numerical riddles. As the apparent strangers struggle to solve the puzzles and determine why they are there, the stakes get higher as the walls literally begin to close in around them.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

This stylish yet disappointingly predictable Spanish thriller is never as exciting or ingenious as it hopes to be.

An ingenious Spanish thriller about maths, sex, ambition and dog poo. Go to Full Review Tim Robey Daily Telegraph (UK) 05/29/2009
2/5
The diabolical m.o. in these things is never really satisfactory, and even the fun of the conceit is somewhat muffled by the film's lurid colour design and headachey close-ups. Go to Full Review Ian Nathan Empire Magazine 05/29/2009

Clean T @cleanreviewacct 12/22/2024 this movie is really stupid. i turned it off, couldn't take any more. save your time See more Guzz L @RT08217065 04/29/2024 Great movie, brings new things to this style of thriller with deadly games. The mathematical and logical puzzles are incredible, the story is very good and the plots add even more layers of surprise. See more colin m @RT35044827 07/08/2022 A bit silly, but twists and turns keep a person watching. See more 04/27/2020 First of all This Review not for Spanish audience. Because they used to see the cast and directors and they will like this movie based on cast. But as a world wide audience This is one of the worst movie ever I watched. While they exposed the suspense I said Wtf? Dozen of loop holes, Lot of funny solving in the name of Enigma. Are u a math freak? Then you will hang on fan absolutely after seeing this. Other then Roman, Everyone deserves to die. Cheating Gf, car accident maker, Gf Looser. But Roman died with a cop and all escaped.Indian movies are better than this trash. Ending was main funny part on the movie. Do not got tension to watch the funny ending. See more Fong Kok Hoong F @RT29722865 10/05/2019 This Spanish whodunnit thriller about four mathematicians racing against time to solve puzzles to escape a shrinking room promises nifties of genius but falls apart when it fumbles to come up with a gimmicky resolution in the final stage of presentation.
