The Box (2009; Genre: Sci-fi, Horror) Rating: 2.5/5

The box starring Cameron Diaz is a sci-fi movie which completely take audience to a new level of what they can imagine. Looking a the title, the box is definitely will be a mysterious movie.

The box,of course is about a box, sends to a married couple with a single child by stranger,which in the movie it is Lewis Family. By pushing the button inside the box, a person that the family don't know will die and the responsible person will receive a million of cash. Norma Lewis starring Cameron Diaz is appealing to push the button which brings her in a interesting adventure discovering the truth behind the stranger, Steward (Frank Langella), who sends her the box. Who is Steward? You have to watch it on your own and Frank who I believe acted perfectly as a mysterious stranger man, Steward. You might salute the way Frank execute the character.

The box is great in entertaining so do exciting as it makes you like a cat in curiosity with instinct want to look for more. Yet, the movie fail to deliver an exciting moment of truth which left audiences wondering what is happening. Like a cat thrown in the water, audiences turns away wondering why have they watched that movie. As I can say, a waste of good story with a terrible ending. However, if you like a mystery movie with some sort of hidden message in the movie by the writer, you may like this movie.
Received 44% in rotten tomatoes and 6.0/10 in imdb. Its up to you. I would suggesting just rent a dvd and go through it with your love one and probably have a little or mocking discussion about the movie at the end.

Here is the trailer. Hope you enjoy it.
