Про цей фільм

What if someone gave you a box containing a button that, if pushed, would bring you a million dollars...but simultaneously take the life of someone you don't know? Would you do it? And what would be the consequences? The year is 1976. Norma Lewis is a teacher at a private high school and her husband, Arthur, is an engineer working at NASA. They are, by all accounts, an average couple living a normal life in the suburbs with their young son...until a mysterious man with a horribly disfigured face appears on their doorstep and presents Norma with a life-altering proposition: the box. With only 24 hours to make their choice, Norma and Arthur face an impossible moral dilemma. What they don't realize is that no matter what they decide, terrifying consequences will have already been set in motion. They soon discover that the ramifications of this decision are beyond their control and extend far beyond their own fortune and fate.

It would have a perfect story if there were some explanations of some scenes like how Norma got out from the hands of Steward. Lack of explanations for such scenes made me lost.

Good premise that was terribly written, directed, acted & edited. Full of holes. It's a shame, really.

Makes me think of what I value in life and the lengths necessary to keep it, them safe. Definitely thought provoking and heart felt.
