The Kovak Box (2006)

Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Very best movie i ever watch

i must have seen a different film!!

The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Ask yourself: would you really spend even a second arguing with someone who insisted the Moon is made of cheese and refuting point by scientific point why the suggestion if arrant nonsense? No, I thought not. Similarly, it would be utterly futile to spend even a second listing why The Kovak Box is sheer, unmitigated hokum. The implausibilities are legion, the suspense of disbelief huge, but who cares. To sum up: mad Hungarian scientist who once worked for the CIA but was cast aside, gets it into his head that he wants to become a legend and go down in history as one of the worst mass murderers known to mankind. To do so, he ensnares the - very unwilling - assistance of a famous sci-fi novelist and engineers the mass suicide of a hundred or so - I hope I've got this right - U.S. travel agents on a company trip to Mallorca. Incidentally, the mad Hungarian has a very gentle Irish lilt and comes across as sweet old man. Oh, and I forgot: a crucial element of the plot is the recording by Billie Holliday called Gloomy Sunday. Apparently, the guy who wrote the song also topped himself as did, apparently - tho' don't take my word for it - many associated with the recording. So far, so batty, so put your feet up, give rational thinking the night off and settle in for a generous slice of 24 carat hokum. If you like this sort of schlock, you'll love this, if you don't, you won't. Now, can't be fairer than that.

David Norton(Timothy Hutton)is a best-selling author that of course controls the heroes, villains and subject matter of his 25 novels. Without explanation the real world starts imitating his fictional world...to be exact just like his very first book. While speaking at a conference on a Mediterranean island, he is approached by a strange fan Frank Kovak(David Kelly); and his fiancée receives a mysterious phone call and jumps to her death from their hotel balcony. Soon others around him begin committing suicide. Is this a scientific experiment carried out by the government...similar to circumstances in his first novel? And how does Kovak figure in all this? Suspense with disturbing content. Also in the cast: Lucia Jimenez, Georgia Mackenzie, Gary Piquer and Annette Badland.

A Hitchcokian retreaded plot line is welded to A-movie production values to great effect in thriller "The Kovak Box." A crazed scientist plays God on a gorgeous Mediterranean island, causing sexy Spanish sirens to jump off roofs )often naked!) in Manchurian-like premise. Although lacking in originality, this slickly made thriller still manages some sense of freshness largely thanks to a great cast, including a terrific performance by Irish vet David Kelly. great paranoid thriller less concerned with CGI explosions and improbable chase and more concerned with ideas like the power fo suggestion. Still, the film does contain enough shock, action and beautiful locations (not to mention sultry Spanish chicks) to hold most Americans attention!
