The Box (2009) 7/10

Starring : Cameron Diaz, James Marsden, Frank Langella
Director : Richard Kelly
Running Time : 111 mins

Norma Lewis (Diaz) and her husband Arthur (Marsden) receive a visit from a strange man named Arlington Steward (Langhella), who gives them a strange box and offers them a deal : if they press the button contained in the box, they will receive a briefcase containing $1,000,000, but someone they don’t know will die.

I was really disappointed by this movie. From the trailer it looked like an intriguing combination of thriller and morality tale, but about halfway through it turned into a weird science fiction movie. Granted, it’s non-Hollywood ending made a pleasant change of pace, but overall this just wasn’t what I was hoping for.
