The Circle (2001/I)

Alternate title: Fraternity.

Synopsis: A secret society of college students steals the questions of an exam. A bright student who is not a society member knows the identity of the thieves, and is pressed into turning his colleagues in.

Appraisal: This is a frivolous yet watchable game of whodunit, displaying a succession of red herrings, and a few plot twists, all in a steady pace. It borrows some superficial elements from The Skulls (2000) but is otherwise a completely different film. I didn't see anything special about it and by tomorrow I will probably have forgotten its plot.

Rating: 37
