The movie begins with a suicide at a skyscraper in Philadelphia. Later that day, five people who have business to conduct in this same skyscraper, board an elevator. Their sins, their pride, and their backgrounds lead them, by unusual circumstances and timing, to elevator 6. Ben Larson (Bookeme Woodbine) just started working at this building as a Security Guard who has a violent past. Vince McCormick (Geoffrey Arend) is a mattress salesman, and a scam artist who cheats people out of their money via a Ponzi scheme. Sarah Caraway (Bojana Nocakovic) is trying to divorce her husband and take a large portion of his wealth in the process, while having affairs with rich married men, in order to blackmail them and get them to pay her hush money. Tony Janekowski (Logan Marshall-Green) is a mechanic who killed a woman and her daughter drunk driving 5 years ago, and got away with it. And finally, there is an elderly woman by the name of Jane Kowski (Jenny O’Hara), whom we don’t really know much about, other than the fact that she is at the building and taking the elevator up.

15 years ago, this captivating film hit theaters. But what makes it so unique is not the evil that is on display; it is the deep and meaningful message behind it.

I thought more appropriate verses from the Bible are:

Proverbs 28:1...the wicked flee when no one pursues, but the righteous are bold as a lion...

and Leviticus 32:23....be sure your sins will find you out....
and finally

Galatians 6:7....whatever a man sows, that shall be what he reaps..

Film budget: 10 million
Worldwide box office: 63 million
Running time: 80 minutes

Lots of time and money wasted. Coulda’ read 4 Bible verses (includes your reference)...and discerned the same overall message. Done, quick, over...no need for spooky elevator...

IMHO
