Cube (1998)

This re-hashed "Twilight Zone" plot is a simple metaphor taken to the extreme. Several people locked in a room, in this case a cube, have to figure out why they are there. The whole thing is a metaphor for existence on Earth. But the filmmaker's here try to make it more interesting and complex by adding gizmos, calculus, geometry, blood, rape, violence, "Rainman" and sex.

All this might be interesting but the script, which is flimsy at best, is acted out by several of the most lame thespians ever to grace the screen. The whole thing was shot in Canada and released in the States by Trimark. Enough said.
