What a beautiful movie!

Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Clever and entertaining enough to recommend even to members of the 1%

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

this film was so scary I thought it was good but it was just weird and the ending was so scary I won't watch again it was a bit weird and scary but the actors in the film were good I don't think I will watch again but the film was good the actor who gave them the box should have won an Oscar for the film because he was amazing by Carly Joan Daniels

What we have with the box is a neat idea of the moral dilemma but i'm afraid it fails to deliver. There are supporting characters that are not fleshed out as to their role in the story, it's hinted at but not made clear is it Sci-fi, supernatural, or government who is running the show who knows ? The premises is simply pointed out from Arlington Steward at the start Press that button and someone you don't know will die and you get $1 million that's it. So it's a simple choice press the button or not that's the deal or is it ?The death of "someone you don't know" plot point seems to be clumsily shoehorned in by a late introduction of another character suggesting that Norma may have been responsible for that death. Then we have characters who it's seems are puppets, "employees" or even followers of Arlington Steward, but this is never explained, or could it be that everyone is tripping on some sort of substance.Near the climax of the movie we have another plot point where Norma and Arthur's son all of a sudden is made deaf and blind through some sort of kidnapping and ritual but this was not set out as a consequence by Arlington Steward from the outset. So Arlington Steward has a new deal for them which in turn connects a new couple who now have he button.There is a serious lack of attention to detail here in the story narration, it's like the director knows whats going on and assumes we do also. I have seen the box twice now and on both occasions i nodded off that's how engaging it is.

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!

The Box is the only movie I have ever walked out of a movie theater during. I ended up watching and finishing it a few months later, and I regretted it. The ending did not at all match up to even the genre I was expecting for the ending. The trailer showed an entirely different movie than what I watched, and I was not pleased with the new plot lines and completely unexpected direction of the movie (not in a good way). I feel like the ending did not match the first half of the movie.
