The Square (2008)

6.7

Plot: With the intention to walk out on his wife and run away with his lover Carla, Ray Yale, a supervising engineer at Haven Cove's new resort, cuts a deal under the table with a construction worker hoping to collect enough money to start a new life. However, when one day Carla unexpectedly sees her husband Smithy stashing away a bag full of money, she will grab the opportunity and with the reluctant help of Ray, together they will devise a plan to burn down her house and take the money. Eventually, from that point on, a downward spiral will begin despite the cheating couple's attempt to build up an alibi at the local Christmas candlelight celebration, because unbeknownst to them, things are bound to go from bad to worse. Inevitably, the Police will begin questioning and tension will build up, but when Ray starts receiving blackmail notes, a serious question will need to be answered: who else might have known about it?

Alternative Plot: Ray (David Roberts), a construction worker trapped in an unhappy marriage, pursues an affair with his neighbor, Carla (Claire van der Boom). Carla's husband, Greg (Anthony Hayes), is a mobster who keeps large sums of drug money in their home. With this in mind, Carla comes up with a plan: She and Ray will steal Greg's money, burn down her house, convince Greg the money was lost in the fire and then run away together. Carla's scheme, however, doesn't go off as planned.
