A great unexpected gem

Rating: 8/10 (17 March 2010)

I have to be honest these type of films rarely fascinate me, but a few people had recommended watching it, so I did. I was so surprised at the overall story which is played out in one set and I always found myself tense as the next part of the story was unveiled. The characters were portrayed brilliantly and makes you question how well you would cope if you woke up in their situation. The story does seem to get a bit repetitive at times "Oh this theory doesn't work, lets try this one, oh that doesn't work either." but it's not really about the characters escaping but how they transform over the course of the film. Overall I would recommend this film only if you are willing to think deep and are willing to overlook the low budget and occasional clichéd dialogue and plot points. If you fit into that criteria then Cube is one of those films that beats some of the newer phsycological films out there.
