What's a "Moral Compass Cricket Thingy"?

You say that you'd need multiple people, but the Saw series was effectively built around us watching the actions of one or two people in response to what was happening around them. Phone Booth was a film about one guy stuck in a phone booth because the person who called him had a rifle trained on him, and the entire movie spirals out from there. There's no reason why the movie can't just be about Jack responding to Atlas' calls, and letting the plot flow from there. In fact, you have a build-up of dramatic tension, because we get to HEAR what the plans are, but we never get to SEE what's happening on the other end of them. We only get to see Jack, and we get to think he is driving the story, and then the plot twist happens, and recontextualizes the entire movie. I think you could make that work in a movie adaptation, but it would take a very deft hand to do so.
