Title: like Pirandello . . . but with blades
Review: I think it's worth watching once.While I did appreciate the spectacle of people trying to work their way out of a deadly trap using mathematics, I would say that the film fell apart when the director tried to ramrod some allegorical meanings into it. The writing wasn't well-wrought enough for me to buy any of them.The idea that the Cube was originally a mammoth public works project that got out of control was serviceable enough, and hey isn't that like life? The problem with these metaphorical approaches is that certain events in the movie disallow them. Then how do you explain how everybody got in the cube? How do you explain how they don't remember? How do you explain how they left off questioning Worth when there were many other things he could have answered?If the director wanted this to be an allegory, he should have insisted on a script without so many leaks in it.
Is the review positive or negative?
