A suburban couple, Norma (Cameron Diaz) and Arthur (James Marsden), face a moral dilemma when they receive a gift that bears irrevocable consequences. With the press of a button, their simple wooden box will bestow $1 million; however, a stranger somewhere else will die, at the same time. The box will be theirs for only 24 hours, and as time ticks away, Norma and Arthur confront the depth of their humanity as they consider their choices.

The Box was an engaging movie yet somehow I felt needing more by the end. The plot was easily followed until about mid-way through the movie. I followed the plot all the way up until the time the babysitter was getting a ride home from Arthur Lewis (James Marsden), the plot took a twist that didn’t seem to be tied into the movie. Also confusing was the entire library scene where both Norma (Cameron Diaz) and Arthur Lewis are getting their “explanation” of what’s going on. At this point, the original plot seemed to be abandoned, which was clear from the beginning; push the button, someone you don’t know dies. The plot was cleared up once again towards the end. The characters depth left something to be desired. I will share that I had not seen the original Twilight Zone episode (Button, Button) or read the short story (by Richard Matheson) so this movie might interest the ones that have. My overall conclusion of the movie is either wait on the DVD release or make sure you’ve seen some of the other movies you wanted to see prior to going to see this mid-grade suspense flick.
