Written by Steven Knight

A trailer for the movie:

Plot summary: Ivan Locke, a dedicated family man and successful construction manager, receives a phone call on the eve of the biggest challenge of his career that sets in motion a series of events that threaten his carefully cultivated existence.

This movie is a contained thriller. Very contained. Very thriller.
