Kate and Mike accepted the challenge of staying for 50 days in a white room, without anything else to do, no tv, no phone, no internet,computer, no books.. etc, and if they succeed they'll get at the end of it, 5 million dollars.

 

The food is a tasteless liquid, and the room has no windows, a voice tells them when it's 10 o'clock in the evening,and lights out,and when it's 7 o'clock in the morning, to wake up. They're also told when it's "midday" .

 

If they get bored,or feel like they can't go on, they can ask the computer for a treat, but that takes 100.000 dollars from the 5 million, the next one, 250.000!

 

Mike takes his treat,and pays 100.000 for a green crayon!

 

When his second treat brings him a naked woman, the couple start fighting, and stop being so united.

 

The movie starts right off the bat with the couple entering the immaculate room, and inside. I feel we don't get to see who they are outside, and what made them accept this crazy deal. We are introduced to them slowly, into their mindset ,from what they say about each other,and from the recorded video call or message from one of their family members.

Still, I feel the character build is weak, and at the end of the movie the leads are still unknown to us.

 

The actors were fine.

 

The movie is for rent or sale on Amazon, Apple, DirecTv, Google, Microsoft Store, Redbox, Vudu, YouTube.
