Interesting but flawed

Rating: 2/10 (27 March 2008)

The best thing Cube has going for it is the novelty of the plot; Besides this, the characters don't ring very true, the dialogue is unconvincing, and the acting is only so so: especially the actor playing Quentin, who even manages to be unintentionally funny throughout most of the film. Overall it's not a very well written movie. Production value is relatively high considering the budget but the musical score is not particularly impressive and I also feel that the cinematography could have been more effective. Overall Cube is a good example of a film left hanging on a high concept plot with nothing much else to offer. Not very highly recommended but it's not completely unwatchable if you are into low budget horror/sci-fi, I suppose.
