Cube (1997)

Director: Vincenzo Natali
Starring: Nicole de Boer, Maurice Dean Wint, David Hewlett

Synopsis:
Strangers awake to find themselves in a complex comprised of seemingly countless cubes, some of them rigged with deadly traps. They must work together to navigate their way out, if there is even a way out at all.

Impressions:
This is a clever little cult film. There's clearly not much of a budget, but it does extremely well with what it has. If anything, the simplicity is a boon as it forces you to focus on the characters to carry the film and this film does that quite well. We have solid performances crafting this lot of character who aren't what they first seem. This development over the course of the movie is one of the real treats of the experience. The Saw franchise may have worn out its welcome with the whole deathtrap premise, but give this movie a shot. You won't be disappointed.
