Made no sense at all.
I watched this two days ago and have no idea what it was about. It started out really interesting - a couple finds a box delivered on their doorstep with a button on it. If they push the button, they win a million dollars and someone they don't know will die. Of course, they push it (it would have been a shorter and sweeter movie if they didn't), but then things turn from interesting to just really bizarre. By the end of the movie, I neither knew nor cared what happened to any of the characters. It was the most convoluted mess I've watched since....well, since I can remember.

Great movie
Wow....I really disagree with CSM on this one. I thought it was a great movie with themes that can be discussed with teens about morals and what's important in life. Very much like "The Day the Earth Stood Still," this flick centers on the idea that we, as humans, make some very poor choices -- and if we want the race to continue, we'd better all clean up our lives! My 14 year old really enjoyed it, too. I thought it was a great movie.

another Darko-esque movie with plot twists and a much deeper core than a typical movie. If you have never seen Donnie Darko or S. Darko, than you may not get the complexities of this film. I feel the deep internal struggle would be a little too much for Younger children to understand.

iffy
We both though the move was convoluted at best. Boring and certainly would not recommend it.
