Norma and Arthur Lewis, a suburban couple with a young child, receive a simple wooden box as a gift, which bears fatal and irrevocable consequences. A mysterious stranger delivers the message that the box promises to bestow upon its owner $1 million with the press of a button. However pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world; someone they don't know. With just 24 hours to have the box in their possession, Norma and Arthur find themselves in the cross-hairs of a startling moral dilemma and must face the true nature of their humanity.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Story: It's very simple but honestly that is fine.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

The opening 10 minutes are great. I thought this was going to be a really interesting psychological thriller. It quickly descends into farce, and has undoubtedly the worst plot I've ever seen from a movie. So bad, I recommend you actually watch it. You won't believe your eyes.

I enjoyed this movie. The example of how each decision you make impacts your life and when faced with important decision you need to ask yourself. What would Jesus do? This way humanity as a whole will be in a better position. End

I found myself in the middle of this movie saying, "This is a very good movie." Now the term "very good" in relations to movies seldom comes to my head, so I have to say there was something there. This movie has something. It often fails miserably at conveying it, and once we think all the wait will finally pay off, it disappoints us again. This happens a few times.But all in all it's a very interesting story that you may or may not want to know how it ends. But I am highly impressed by Cameron Diaz's choices in movies, so I have to say I liked this movie. 7 Stars.

Browsing through my Netflix choices I noted a five star rated movie starring Cameron Diaz. The movie was The Box. The film deals with themes of mutilation, losing faculty discount on your child's education, choosing to kill a stranger for a measly million dollars, bleeding noses, actors staring straight ahead. I stopped the Netflix film halfway through because it was not five stars. I had to finish it the next night to find out if the film answered any of the improbable questions it raised. No. It just got worse. More dilemmas were piled on Cameron and her husband. Why? No explanation. Just more drivel. I noted that the star rating on Netflix had dropped to 3 and a half stars. So what have I learnt. Netflix puts out a movie. Starts it on a top rating and lets it fall. Rubbish movie, rubbish film grading policy!
