    Richard Kelly takes an intriguing story with a lot of potential and adds in a whole other paranormal aspect into it leaving a bemused muddle of a movie.
  • December 16, 2009
    I was soooooooo pissed once I finnished watched The Box. After all of that I would have to say its crap. Sorry coz I like Marsden and Diaz BUT this film is waste of time.
  • December 16, 2009
    lamest piece of shit!!!!!!!!!! fuck fuck fuck
  • December 16, 2009
    nice movie, but I didnt like the ending =)
  • December 15, 2009
    A challenging watch, this one. The story is an interesting concept, and the film is quite beautifully shot throughout, but in the end it's just too long and too damn weird. Diaz and Marsden (an under-rated actor in my book) can only do so much with what they're given, and Frank L...( read more)angella shows once again why he's one of the best, but Richard Kelly is asking too much of the audience here. Not worthy of the slating it's been getting critically, but not what I'd hoped for. Disappointing.

    well nice but the ending .. isnt that clear !!
  • December 15, 2009
    can't wait to view this movie
  • December 15, 2009
    i'm a sucker for a movie like this,even if it stars cameron diaz,and have a poor review out there.and a big box office flop,still,i'm curious. and for what its worth,after watching it,i do find it entertaining and intriguing. Richard kelly didn't get lucky with Donnie Darko. he i...( read more)s one hell awesome director.This,like Donnie Darko,is some weird shit to the max.,and i like weird.definitely gonna catch it again one time,to fully understand it

    Remember "The Twilight Zone" in the late 80's episode about an old man who leaves residents a box that has a red button when pushed, they will receive a million dollar...but "someone is going to die"?

    This movie shows the story of what happens in between residents after the b...( read more)utton is pushed.
  • December 14, 2009
    Very intense, atmospheric and stylish. The storyline's a bit tangled, absurdist and not self-explanatory. Also, and I rarely say this about movies, it's actually thought-provoking.
  • December 13, 2009
    This is a baad movie, I'm disappointed!
  • December 13, 2009
    Its such a shame as this movie started out so well and had everything going for it, great cast, interesting plot, a fantasic period feel for it (really did feel it was from the 70's) and some moments that made the hairs on my arm stand on end. But its that final 25% of the movie ...( read more)that ruined it(cant say too much as don't wanna spoil it for people), I dont know why they had to turn it the way they did and to then take it down that route and not even give us answers was just shocking, it left me with mind ache!
  • December 13, 2009
    It held my interest but I would have liked to find out exactly what that guy's deal was. At times it seemed to drag out but the movie was still decent. Not a classic like Donnie Darko though.

  • December 13, 2009
    Don't know what show is this
  • December 13, 2009
    Meh, First hour is terrible, but it does get a little better, but then we get a rather obvious and boring ending.
    I still think Richard Kelly is really talented, but I think he needs a good co-writer for his films.
  • December 13, 2009
    WTF...couldn't follow this one at all and seems to go in about 10 different directions but end up nowhere...then the dud swaps shagging Cameron Diaz forever for prison, stoooopid!
  • December 12, 2009
    Weird,Cool,Great special effects,mind beding good time.I really don't know why this movie is getting such a bad rap.I suggest seeing it for yourself,its a wild ride. =)

    "This is non negotiable"
  • December 11, 2009
    This movie was very interesting in its own way.
  • December 11, 2009
    Not bad until you realize that it's over and it was absolute nonsense.
  • December 11, 2009
    Terrible movie. Cameron Diaz is the worst.
  • December 11, 2009
    totally totally dissapointed in this film i expected a lot more ...what a shame
  • December 11, 2009
    If you like the twilight zone, you"ll like this movie.
  • December 11, 2009
    Pas mal comme film, mais la fin est un peu décevante, car une autre alternative aurait été plus judicieuse!! En somme la fin a été bâclée!!
  • December 11, 2009
    Richard Kelly, director of the interesting and original, but overhyped Donnie Darko, and also the godawfully shite Southland Tales here adapts a Matheson short story. It's pretty damn good too with lots going on and messages about consequences and purgatory and some other stuff. ...( read more)A great thriller. Thing is, the story is Matheson's. All Kelly brings to it is silly CGI water stuff, which is superfluous and pointless.
  • December 10, 2009
    I had high hopes for this movie, mainly because Richard Kelly, the director of Donnie Darko, directed it. This movie centers on a simple premise of a couple in dire straights that receive a box with a button. They could choose to press the button and receive a million dollars, bu...( read more)t someone they don't know would die. This simple premise quickly changes into a fantastic storyline that is sometimes ridiculous, but if you can suspend your belief, you will thoroughly enjoy it.
  • December 10, 2009
    Wild a-- flick, lots of twists in this one, the ending was not as expected. Check it out love to hear ur opinion!
  • December 10, 2009
    Absolutely mental!

    Sci fi isn?t supposed to always make sense (a reason why SO many people don?t like the genre) but this took it too far, the middle ? end were actually nonsense and what started as quite an interesting film soon became a big mess that caused most people in t...( read more)he cinema to start giggling. What on earth was going on with the library? And James Marsden dropping onto the bed with all the water?!!

    Not sure what it was either ..... not exactly a horror (although bits were a bit creepy), not good enough to be Sci Fi :p and not really a thriller either.

    I quite liked the idea of it, the moral dilemma. I spent a few enjoyable moments considering whether or not I would push the button, but the movie did little to hold my attention and I soon moved on to how pretty Cameron?s hair looked and thinking about what beautiful babies she?d make with James!

    Didn?t really like the Adam and Eve concept of the plot, the woman is all to blame and suffers the consequences!

    Cameron Diaz .... ARGHHH! Still irritates the hell out of me, maybe I should stop going to see films with her in!

    I?d say go and see it, just to make up your own mind (maybe some people would love it?!) but I certainly won?t be watching it again!

    now this does look good
  • December 10, 2009
    CollegeHumor's trailer is way better than this movie.
  • December 8, 2009
    awsome suspense scifi thriller what if nice joint to see.
  • December 8, 2009
    from richard kelly he of donnie darko,comes another twisted tale.which is much more than the title suggests,taking in the 70s setting,which looks great, and a family being given a choice, and the effects this desision has on the when a strange man offers a couple 1 million doller...( read more)s to push a button,andsomewhere someone will die,events from here turn, the couple must look into themselves for a desision. richard kelly directs brillantly, a great menaceing score helps a lot, and mardsen and diaz are exellent. not as mindbending as darko, but it certainly has its moments and not knowing where we are heading certainly helps, taking in nasa conspiracys, a vital part of story,and using the 70s just like he did using 80s for darko, forget southland tales, kelly is back
  • December 8, 2009
    Man with half a face give Cameron Diaz a box, if she presses the button she gets a million, but somebody that she doesn't know will die.
  • December 7, 2009
    Judging from what I've heard so far I'm definitly going to see this.
    FYI: James Marsden and I are born on the same date, different years.
  • December 7, 2009
    Hated it. I left before it was over. Between the random nosebleeds, the idea that Salvation is one of three holes in the floor, and the "sycronized swimming" style hallway chases, I couldn't take any more. Pass this movie up... unless disappointment is your thing.
  • December 6, 2009
    looks good from the trailer,sometimes that's not so good...
  • December 6, 2009
    unbelievably sloooow
  • December 5, 2009
    this movies is awesome!
  • December 4, 2009
    Yaah ,I like all Cameron Diaz's movie .
  • December 4, 2009
    she's got the unmatch character on this movie
  • December 4, 2009
    I just can't see Cameron Diaz in a serious role, seriously.
  • December 4, 2009
    love it if you hav not seen it you have to.....
