The Box (2007) 6/10

Starring : Giancarlo Esposito, Mia Maestro, Gabrielle Union, Yul Vazquez
Director : AJ Kparr
Running Time : 88 mins

The LAPD raid a party in search of millions of dollars in stolen money, only to find all but two people dead. When the homicide department is called in to investigate, they're left trying to piece together what happened based on the remaining two survivors versions of events, one a thief, the other a victim.

This movie tries desperately to be The Usual Suspects (even having Giancarlo Esposito in the cast) but falls short by a country mile. The attempts to create twists and turns are too convoluted, and the quality of the directing made this feel like a TV movie. Fans of silly thrillers might like this, but most people who think past the basics will find this a little far fetched.
