C*n*d*a*s should stick to playing hockey....

Rating: 1/10 (15 November 2004)

I really don't know where to begin with this atrocious movie. Okay, take a fairly original idea shrouded with intrigue... throw in a bunch of diverse characters (a sleazy cop, a feminist medical doctor, a convict, a math student, and a mentally challenged guy). Mysteriously they awake to find themselves trapped in a cubic prison. The cube is composed of various number and color co-ordinated rooms, some of which are death traps. The people trapped inside must find a way out. But perhaps more pertinent issues need to be addressed first... How did they get in there? What is the cube? Who built it? What is its purpose?
Maybe the vague outline above is intriguing, but all that evaporates when the dialogue commences. The acting in this film is possibly..no wait ..probably, no.... definitely the worst i have ever had the displeasure of viewing. Wooden is not the word..it makes Keanu look like Bob De Niro! Maybe you can blame the script. Comments such as "Only the Military Industrial Complex (MIC)could have built such a thing". What? I know (or my girlfriend knew and subsequently told me) that the MIC is not a government organization, its not even a physical entity, its an ideology more akin to the oedipus complex than a government initiative. I could continue for another hour or so but i feel i have vented sufficiently.
Please do not waste your time, money or energy on this film. I would rather pick peanuts out of poo!
