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.

Critics Consensus

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

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.

Maths boffins + twist of mystery - patchy ending = uneven thriller.

The filmmakers have us hooked with a terrific mystery and the challenge of a good puzzle.

The best part is that, for once, it's a film about smart people.

... a cerebral thriller with a different kind of locked-room mystery.

When smart people start going insane, very good Spanish thriller.

Los retos matemáticos son muy conocidos y simples, nada digno de grandes matemáticos, y los giros de guión están cogidos con pinzas, pero me ha entretenido
