Just goes to show what you can do with one room and an idea

Rating: 8/10 (26 February 2002)

Though slow to start, this film delivers an incredibly interesting analysis of our contemporary society. A group of people, totally unconnected, wake up in a maze of cube shaped rooms, with no understanding of how they got there or why. They attempt to find a way out. An incredibly simple plot, filmed in one room, with a tiny cast of relative unknowns, yet it works extremely well, on the power of the script and some outstaning performances, particuarly from Maurice Dean Wint, as 'Quentin.' It is difficult to explain more without spoiling anything but I recommend this film very highly as it has some great ideas and the dialogue is superb. It's biting criticism of our society are extremely powerful, and the film itself is remarkably intense. Definitely worth a watch, if only to see that you can do very interesting things on a tiny budget.
