The Box



An interesting story but it has been shown in a dull way. Of course Diaz looks very good in the movie, her acting has been very good. Some might say that the dull manner in which it has been showcased is profound in its own way. For quiet sometime into the movie, you cannot figure out as to what is going, but slowly everything unveils. There are some questions unanswered by the movie that makes it a bit intriguing.

A box is delivered to Arther Lewis's residence at an odd hour. They open the box to find a strange looking item in it. A man visits their residence, only Norma Lewis happens to be at home. He tells her that there is a button on the item which if pressed will result in the death of somebody in the world that they don't know. If they press it within 24 hrs, then they receive a million dollars, else the item is taken back and the deal is off. They decide to press the button and the same man delivers a million dollars to them as per the deal. Now the events become obscure, a lot of strange things happen to them. But towards the end, all these events explain themselves and all starts to make some sense.

Its a good one time watch. You might get bored because the story is a bit slow and things are shown in an old fashioned way..
