Joining forces on the red carpet amid a wall of photographers, the Cameron and James were on hand to debut Richard Kelly’s moral drama thriller.
The basic plot? The on-screen married couple press a button on a mysterious container, get $1 million and someone they don’t know will die.
And while the trailer looks exciting, early reviews are anything but.
Per The Canadian Press:
“The movie then wallows through superficial soul-searching and sermonizing as the Lewises make their choice, graduating from a ‘Twilight Zone’ episode to an instalment of ‘The X-Files’ in its post-Mulder death throes, when the show turned to rot.
The director and his cast treat all this ridiculousness with such gravity (Diaz bears an unbecoming scowl through almost the entire movie) that the dam thankfully bursts and the hammy dialogue and hammier performances provoke laughs as ‘The Box’shambles toward its overdue demise.”
Per Reuters:
“OK, there is really only one box, but as a convoluted yet unconvincing story evolves, metaphorical boxes get pulled out of boxes as the plot winds its way through suspense, psychological thriller, science fiction, conspiracy theory and horror genres with an overlay of Christian religious motifs and a dab of existentialism. Oh, there’s also a lot of nose bleeding.”
