Interesting concept, disappointing result

Rating: Null/10 (5 May 2001)

Although my hopes were not that high I was disappointed with Cube. I would have hoped that a Canadian film would have more originality in its performance than an American. But that is not the case here. The actors with the exceptions of the two who plays Worth and Kazan are surprisingly bad! But then, the material they work with is not making things easier for them - the dialogue is sometimes embarrassing. I was surprised when I read that the film only was only 90 minutes long, it feels much longer, but in favor for the film it's actually not THAT boring.
One can only fantasize how much better this film would have been in the hands of a director like David Cronenberg. Plus another cast and the occasional rewrite.
