Time to weigh in

Rating: 8/10 (3 November 2008)

I'm Canadian so I have a little more info on this film than my American or Euorpean counter-parts may have.First this is actually a remake of a TV play in the sixties not unlike Playhouse 60 or other live shows of the era.Second having said that it is also a complete re-imagining of the source material. In the original it was one man trapped in the cube who constantly receives visits from others who can get into the cube and leave at will. Now on to the film at hand Cube is a sci-fi film that is one of the most thought provoking films you will ever see. Six strangers with no recollection on where they are or indeed how they got there must navigate a booby trapped Cube shaped prison(pretty simple huh?)not.As the movie progresses the line between good and evil gets blurred as well as sanity.Completely character driven with often sharp dialog Cube offers much more than it's one set,yes only one,they revamp with lights and clever camera angles.Hard core sci-fi fans will recognize Nicole deBoer from Star Trek Deep Space Nine and the god awful Dead Zone TV shows.Insightful often suspenseful Cube is a must see for those who enjoy smart film making my only complaint was the ending I saw it coming 20 mins into the film which is why i'm giving it an eight. Worth a rent.
