Before i saw this movie,i thought it will be a great movie because i saw the rating on IMDb and some reviews and it appeared to b a excellent movie,but it to me, just was good. The way the interview was made is awesome,i wish my all job's interview were like that.You can show you intelligence and humanity, and how to work. The confidence is all when you have to work with group of people. The relationship between Nieves and Fernando,it seems that they already knew which other.I just was expecting an surprise end,more competition more intelligence.The end was poor for me.

The movie presents itself clearly as anti-globalist, anti-imperialist and anti-social-darwinist. The capitalism is bad, the progressive youth fights for our future on the streets, etc etc you know that. Whatever. I have never understood why the cinematographers think the anarchy is better than global imperialism, I seriously think both ideologies suck. The social anarchism does not even work.Ideology aside there is quite simple "elimination" movie which starts well, but runs out of the steam in about half. The more interesting characters are eliminated fast, the less interesting ones will stay and in the end there is one weird and bizarre triangle. Yes there somewhat illogical sex and other happenings, but nothing special. It is more collage of unconnected happenings that story that unfolds in any reasonable manner.In the end we fall again into pile of sentiment and pseudo socialist rubbish. The "guy from the rich family" and the "self made woman" start to remember the beautiful times in Africa when they dreamed about living simple life there at the sea. (Which part of Africa is so nice you can live happily as a white guy today without risk of being kidnapped or murdered? Madagascar?) Then end is predictable, simple, slow, boring and anti climactic. It is simply disappointing.

In the tradition of "No Exit" and "Twelve Angry Men," "The Method" gathers a small group of people into a single room to observe what happens when they are forced to spend an inordinate amount of time together, essentially cut off from the outside world. (The movie throws in elements from such wide-ranging and eclectic sources as "And Then There Were None," "1984," "To Tell the Truth" and "Survivor" as well).Seven high-powered job applicants, all vying for a single position in a prestigious company, arrive at a high rise office building in downtown Madrid. As a part of the selection process, the seven are immediately put into a room and subjected to a battery of bizarre psychological tests designed to pit the applicants against one another until only one of them - the default "winner" and future employee - is left.Predictably, the stress of the ordeal brings out the worst in the applicants, leading to personal betrayals, the exposing of secrets, and a cutthroat jockeying for power. Part of the fun of the movie is in seeing just how long it takes for the veneer of civilized behavior to be stripped away, exposing the ruthless animalistic nature within. For this is how the natural law of "survival of the fittest" is played out in the modern world - no longer with clubs, bows and arrows, but with duplicity, deviousness and carefully chosen words.However, the individuals are not the only ones to come under the scathing censure of the filmmakers. The movie also attacks the Big Brother aspects of corporations in their insistence on total allegiance to the company in exchange for "job security" and their willingness to drain their employees of their humanity to secure that allegiance. Yet just outside this bleak, stark and sterile office building, where "civilized" people are subtlety tearing each other apart for corporate advancement, masses of people are marching in protest against the World Bank and the IMF who are holding a conference in the city.Mateo Gil and Marcelo Pineyro have written a sharp, thoughtful screenplay that gets to the heart of the human condition, while, as a director, Pineyro manages to keep the action fluid despite the single-set restriction of the conceit (the film has been derived from the play by Jordi Calceran). The acting is uniformly excellent with each performer given his or her moment to shine as well as the chance to be an indispensable part of an extraordinary acting ensemble."The Method" may be derivative of other works at times, but the view of human nature it reveals to us is often unnerving and chilling in its honesty and precision.

in "El metodo" we can see seven person inside one room. THey are the seven candidates to a perfect businessman job, with few work and great salaries. The seven candidates feel proud of their options and they will do as much as they can to take the job; but they will suffer a new method of selection. The Grönholm Method. There, they will suffer from different psychological test where one to one, the candidates will have to choose who has to leave the room. Then, we will be able to see how man becomes wolf to man, how, shyly at first, angrily at the end they let their most fiery temper rise and great arguments begin. In these claustrophobic environment of absolutely trust-less men, secrets, fears and traitors; the most desperate fight for survival will begin. What would you to do get a job? How deep can you descent in order to triumph in life? The story is enormously catching, with great doses of thrilling, it is like these Agatha Christie's books, where everyone meets and then, the guilty is discovered. You follow all the arguments with your favourites, asking your self who is going to be rejected. In addition, the actors are enormously good. They all are inside their parts and are able to make probable their best acting (it is astonishing to watch to Nimri being able to transmit feelings, and wow, she does it!). i say it is so good, but, why not 9-10?? It is because it is based in a theatre play of Jordi Galceran, and, comparing to the film, the theatre is much better. I'm not saying that the film is bad, it is very very good, but I must admit than the theatre is better and I cannot feel comfortable in giving the movie the best marks. If you could, go to Barcelona, and go to the theatre. It is there until the end of 2007.
