A film that wants to be a morality play but can't seem to squeak past pedestrian paranoid conspiracy thriller, "The Box" is a major disappointment. "Box" centers around a 70s-era 30-something couple (Cameron Diaz, James Marsden) who receive a strange gift on their doorstep: a wooden box with a button on top of it. Later, a visitor with a horrible scar (Frank Langella) arrives and tells them their dilemma: press the button, and you'll receive $1 million dollars, but somewhere, someone you don't know will die.
