Rating: 8/10 (4 June 2002)

This is one of the best science fiction movies I've ever seen. It is ridiculously good considering it was made for only $750,000 (Cdn.). This is high concept at its best. Not to mention making a low budget indie film look as good as a Hollywood film (even the special effects). The power of this film is what you don't yet know. It slaps you in the face and ties you to the edge of your seat. It does a brilliant job of making the audience feel like they are with the characters. This movie beat "Shakespeare in Love" at the Box Office in France, and dominated "The Truman Show" in Japan. Too bad it was overlooked in the U.S., and inadequately promoted in its home country of Canada. The Canadian film industry will never make a dent in the ever invading American industry if it ignores its own great, clever films like Cube. Highly recommended. However, the science fiction label should not turn anyone off: it's more accurately described as an intense mystery/drama.
