Cube

God, I'm a sucker for movies with isolated characters, trapped and fighting for their lives. Nothing original about, but damn are they entertaining. Saw was great for this reason, but Cube did it first (at least of these two examples). I'll give Cube credit for one thing right off the bat; it tried to be smart. And you know what? It did, for the most part, or at least as far as I can tell. The math seems plausible, and the construction of the deadly cube rings true to me. Not many horror movies put this much thought into their plotting. But fuck math, right? You just want to watch Cube for inventive and violent killings? Well, the movie definitely has those. So in the end, you get a semi-intelligent, quick paced, violent thriller that leaves you hanging. Cube throws a lot of questions at the audience, and answers very few. And while some find that unsatisfying, I loved it.
