Hell with the guilt. I'm an out of work engineer with bills to pay. I'd be slapping that sucker several times if I could.

That's the core of the ethical question the film is trying to portray. When you push the button, someone dies. The question is, what happens when another person pushes the button and it's your turn (or that of someone close to you) to be the "someone" who dies?

I give the filmmakers cudos for trying to make their audience think, but this idea seems way too shallow to sustain a 90-minute movie.

I remember this when it was a short in a twilight zone episode. Not sure how they are going to turn a whole move out of something that probably ran for 10-15 minutes originally.

Then again they have successfully made 90 min movies over 20 page doctor Seuss books.

I'm sure someone would be crazy enough to disassemble the thing, or perhaps even create a robot that will press the button 10 billion times in rapid succession..... sure you make a lot of money, but then again.... no one would be left to use the money.....

This ethical dilemma is stupid. A million dollars just isn't that inconceivable amount of money anymore. And I'd never trust the guy with half his face off. And I would rather be homeless than kill somebody.
