Norma (Diaz) and Arthur (Marsden) Lewis are a happily married couple whose lives change in one day – Norma is facing redundancy and Arthur misses out on his dream job and finds himself questioning his future when a box with a red button lands on their doorstep followed by the sinister Arlington Stewart – the excellent Langella. Stewart explains that if the couple press the button on the box they will receive one million dollars but also that someone, somewhere will die. They have 24 hours to decide what course of action they want to take.
This 70’s set movie is very much like an expanded episode of the Twlight Zone, which isn’t a bad thing. The couple have to face up to consequences of their spur of the moment action which plays out like a morality tale. Langella is brilliant as the sinister Stewart and the CGI effects are excellently executed.
It’s a good movie – it wont shatter the box office but try and catch it at some point.
