Cube was an interesting film. While there were some cliche moments (jumpsuits, "angry black man character"/the "teacher"/the "intellectual",opening scene that, while thrilling, doesn't do much for the plot), the way they brought together these characters whose lives and skill sets were very different from one another demonstrates how the whole can be greater than the sum of its parts. Even though the contributions from each character were imperative, they never would have been able to make it through on their own.
What I found intriguing about this film was the sense of anxiety that it instilled in the viewer (and certainly the characters), about what may or may not be a trap, knowing that certain death could be lurking around every corner. I think this film did a good job of showing what fear, hunger, and tension can do to an otherwise well mind.
