The Box (2009)

[Leisher]

Netflix

Cameron Diaz and James Marsden are living a great life until out of nowhere shit goes south for both of them. That's when Frank Langella shows up with a box that could change their fortunes. The box has a button and if they press it they get $1M, but a stranger dies.

I'm sure everyone has heard of that hypothetical. This time they take it to a different place.

This could have been an interesting film, but it wasn't. First of all, for some reason, it's set in the 80s. No idea why. Secondly, it's just fucking boring. Mainly because it's poorly written, oddly paced, and badly edited. Third, too much is abstract. It's up to you to determine the meaning of things and where the movie goes. Fourth, it's preachy. Be nice to one another or we all die. They mean that subtly and literally.

Langella's makeup is the best part of the film.

Overall, it sucked.
