The Sunset Limited

The Sunset Limited (2011), is a movie that was aired in HBO. The movie is based on Cormac McCarthy's play. The movie has just two characters, one of them is 'White' the other 'Black'. Symbolic of morality/law being either white or black.

'White', played by 'Tommy Lee Jones', is a man who just tried committing suicide and 'Black', played by 'Samuel L. Jackson', is the man who saves him.

Both of them are at Black's apartment and are having a conversation. The whole movie is shot at Black's apartment with both of them deeply engaged in a conversation. Black is trying to reason with White with the assistance of Bible about the value of life and White is not willing to accept anything.
White has his own reasons to believe that life is not worth living.

The movie requires your full attention and the dialogues are thought provoking. Do not expect action, suspense, or thriller out of this. This is pure drama and is a good one at that.
