SYNOPSIS:

A stylish, twist-filled film noir, THE SQUARE centers on an adulterous couple whose scheming leads to arson, blackmail and murder. THE SQUARE is the first feature from Australian stuntman-turned-director Nash Edgerton and his brother Joel who co-wrote and stars in the film.

Escaping the monotony of a loveless marriage, Raymond Yale becomes entangled in an affair with the beautiful and troubled Carla. Ray’s moral limits are tested when Carla presents him with the proceeds of her controlling husband’s latest crime. This is their chance: Take the money and run… If only it were that simple.

The seed is planted and Ray, fearing he will lose his love, engineers the plan. Hiring the professional arsonist Billy becomes a fatal error, and the plan goes horribly wrong. Alarm bells sound and suspicions are raised but, miraculously, the dust looks to settle. After all… Nobody knows.

Then the first blackmail note arrives.

The couple’s nerves are tested as both Carla’s husband and the mystery author threaten to throw open their secret… With the blackmailer’s deadline approaching, they are going to find out just how far they are willing to go for love.

Nash Edgerton’s short film SPIDER, a festival-circuit runaway hit, will be shown preceding THE SQUARE.

  • Oh my goodness could this movie be more exciting with all the plots and turns and keeping everything straight. I cannot wait to see this one so exciting and thrilling. thanks for a chance,

  • Two bloody years I've waited for
    this mate......that's a lot of
    kangaroo pasta and Foster's oil cans.

  • Because A. O. Scott of the New York Times said it's "Suspenseful, Invigorating, and Harshly Funny" what more needs to be said...except Brendan Fraser isn't in it...

  • This looks like a good old fashion thriller! I am interested to see what the Ussie import has to say.

  • i can hardly wait to see a film about adults,with a story and a plot and not just special effects.

  • Honestly until stumbling upon this blog I had never heard of this movie. However upon reviewing the trailer I have to say is wow. This movie simply looks amazing. I have to say the trailer says the Coen brothers have competition and if the trailer is any indication I believe that is true. I can't wait to see this film. The acting, cinematography, and story all seem compelling and entertaining.

    I also have to thank Review St. Louis for the opportunity to win free passes for this movie!

  • I read the above comments and they're my sentiments exactly, but simply put, this is my kind of movie. Thank you in advance if you select my entry.
