"  The new movie The Box (out November 6) might be the most preposterous enterprise since &amp;quot;Dick in a Box,&amp;quot; and not just because the question that drives the story \u2014 Would you accept $1 million if it meant someone, somewhere would have to die? \u2014 would be better explored over late-night bong hits than with a feature-length motion picture. But as I was watching the film and preparing to write the whole thing off as a silly waste of time, along comes Frank Langella, half his face eaten away by CGI sorcery and oozing malevolence as the film&amp;#039;s villain, and all was suddenly well. He doesn&amp;#039;t save The Box \u2014 nothing could \u2014 but he lends a majesty to the proceedings that elevates him above the mess. The most remarkable thing about Langella&amp;#039;s career isn&amp;#039;t how great he&amp;#039;s been in his many good movies \u2014 And God Created Woman, Dave, Frost/Nixon \u2014 but how great he&amp;#039;s been in his many bad ones \u2014 Cutthroat Island, Body of Evidence, Eddie. You should not for any reason sit through those travesties, but they demonstrate that the guy gives audiences the performances they deserve even when the movies don&amp;#039;t.
