The Box
The Box
There's a movie called "The Box" in theaters in Nov. In the film a simple wooden box promises to deliver 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. Would you press the button?
"Death has come to your little town."

Tough one... Are there any other catches other than someone dies?
Edit: just watched the trailer.... Cameron Diaz has had WAY too much crap done to her face.. I don't know if I could watch that movie just because her face looks too... fake... and would be too distracting... sad...
