    To save life of one's own life gives some un usual twists in later life
    This is not suspense movie at all.... but a tricky self selection order for 30 people ....a CHOICE to choose which three..to be shot dead.... in some military revenge ..... they opted for a lottery and one of rich guy offers his wealth in exchange of his selected chit ! But the A Hopkins controlled underplay and the heroine will sure win your favor..
