The Box - Would you press the button for $1 million if it would kill innocent person

[WhatsHisNuts]

The whole premise sounds stupid. That's obviously not going to happen. How can it be a good movie? pass... :shrug:

That's exactly what I thought when I saw it. Ridiculous concept.

If you gave me the option, I would spit in your face. Anyone that says they would be willing to do it is scum. I don't care if you have a dying family member that could use the money, no justification works here.

It's just an expanded Twilight zone episode:

I was just getting ready to post that I thought the premise was on the Twighlight Zone once.

I would "off" the entire cast of "The View" and collect 4 million.

You actually watch "The View" ?

I think a big difference is that in The Box the guy says "an innocent person that you do not know...."

I don't think if you have participated in the past by clicking a button that you would be considered 'innocent'.

But the husband in Button, Button wins BIG. He gets $200K, keeps a clean conscience, and gets rid of that bitch he had for a wife.
