The Box - Greed is part of human nature



The main reason why I liked this movie so much is that you cannot predict how it ends until you reach… the end! Cameron Diaz and James Madsen play the roles of Norma and Arthur Lewis, a regular married couple with a young boy which is about to live the unexpected.

One day, a simple man shows up at their door step while Norma is home alone and has a very interesting proposition. He shows a regular wooden box which has a button in the middle. The story is simple: open the box and press the button and the Lewis family gets $1 million without any further questions or explanations. The consequence: when the button is pressed, another person, somewhere in the world is going to die. This person is in no way related to the Lewis family so apparently there is no reason to worry so push the button and take the money! The family has 24 hours to decide. After that, the box will be taken and they will have missed the opportunity of a life time.

The grand finally is something hard to predict as this movie is more than a thriller, it is a psychological analysis of the human nature and the whole movie is going to leave you wondering what is going to happen next.
