Assisted Suicide...
Prolific sci-fi writer, David Norton (Timothy Hutton) is at a conference in Majorca. All seems perfect, as David is the guest of honor, and even uses the occasion to ask his girlfriend to marry him. David is approached by an elderly man (David Kelly) who is a huge fan, and has some rather cryptic things to say. David thinks nothing of it and moves on. When he and his bride-to-be arrive at their posh hotel room, things begin to unravel. David finds a bizarre DVD on the bed containing what appears to be animal torture. The phone rings, The fiancee commits "suicide", and David's life is thrust into a nightmare world of governmental control, conspiracy, and mass murder. He is joined by Silvia (Luca Jiménez) who is the only person David can trust. THE KOVAK BOX is a mental labyrinth, an invisible trap where David is confined and compelled by stimuli to do the bidding of the insane Frank Kovak. Kovak is able to manipulate David in broad daylight, without fear of discovery or interruption. How is this possible? Ah, that's half the fun! David soon realizes that Kovak is not only deranged, but has built the box so well that there may be no way of escape. I found this movie to be exhilerating from start to finish, plot holes and all! Well worth owning...
