squared

Rating: 3/10 (25 February 2013)

I wanted to like this. I thought this would be a feature length version of the 'Twilight Zone' greats dealing with paranoia and an unseen, trapping presence. Give me Kafka tension any day. But what destroys this are several inexcusable elements. The first is really, really bad acting, particularly that of the cop and the doctor. The second is writing that begins realistically, and then veers headlong into pseudo-meaningful rubbish. Most unforgivable,though, is the famous ending of nothingness. It is not interesting to leave your audience with not even a suggestion of an answer. It is lame. 'Cube' is plain adolescent, and its too bad.
