...somebody dies.
This perplexing little film is based on a short story by Richard Matheson and is something I would have expected to see on the old Rod Serling Twilight Zone TV series. It stars Cameron Diaz and James Marsden as a husband and wife presented with a unique problem after a box is delivered to their residence by an odd stranger ( Frank Langella ). The box has a button and if they push it they will receive one million dollars. The problem, however, is that once the button is pushed, someone they don't know will die.
Do they push the button ? Does someone die ? Well I'm not giving anything away by saying that yes, they do push the button. What kind of a movie would it be if they hadn't ? So, yes, the button is pushed but what follows is a sequence of events that none of us would really want to go through. Some may have a little trouble getting their head around this film, but I have to say, I rather enjoyed it. So I give it a :T with the caution that it's not for everybody.
