Norma and Arthur Lewis, a suburban couple with a young child, receive a simple wooden box as a gift, which bears fatal and irrevocable consequences. A mysterious stranger delivers the message that the box promises to bestow upon its owner $1 million with the press of a button. However pressing this button will simultaneously cause the death of another human being somewhere in the world; someone they don't know.

The kind of movie with an idea probably impossible, but it gets you thinking about the karma, circularity of choices.

Pretty cool sci-fi from the Donnie Darko director. Not for everyone.

This movie started off engrossing enough but soon fell off the the rails as it was predictable and too supernatural.

An interesting premise. I remember talking amongst friends about it. The movie itself was ok. Cameron Diaz Is worth a watch

Okay-ish thriller that started out good and intriguing but slips away into being nonsensical unfortunately... There was potential.. Skipable

Such a great idea and premise for a movie but there were too many directions that it wanted to go.
