Unbelievable: You just don't buy it

Rating: 3/10 (13 September 2009)

O.k so. looking around in the comments, I had a hard time both finding a good review on how bad this film is and also coping with the idea that SO many people find it mind blowing.
Basically, the idea is one more of those enigmatic thrillers about strangers appearing out of the blue in the middle of somewhere and trying to find out where? why? who? and how... I know this was done in 1997, and back than (I think) the concept wasn't so burn out, but either way, a good idea doesn't necessarily guarantee a good movie.
So for starters we HAVE to trash the acting, specially of the two characters who "shine" the most: Quentitn (Sycho Cop) and the doctor which name I just forgot and don't care to remember. They REALLY don't no crap about interpreting a fictional character, it seems that, to them, acting mean being as melodramatic and loud as you can.
But in general, all the actors and actresses in the movie sucked big time. But thats not the worst part, actually what makes it even worse is the senseless character development: One minute I'm scared and almost numb, the next I'm a real bad ass and I ROCK. One minute I'm an idiot and, as if it wasn't very predictable, I'm a genius. Really, nothing justifies one thing or the other, there are no leading steps towards the next point, it all just happens, the characters ¡just do what they have to do in order to make the movie go on, despite the lack of logic in there Acts or thoughts.
Another real problem is the dialog, just plain stupid, cliché, stereotyped and really not justified.
It seems that one of the main problems within the script is the fact the the writers forgot to consider that it's in hard moments when the best of us comes out, and even if it doesn't, it wont justify the overall craziness just because... Things must be logic within the world that is being presented to the viewer, and CUBE really does a BAD work in accomplishing that.
