Cube

Odd. Very odd, in the same way that Nothing is odd. Not strange since it’s the same director.

A person wakes up in a large cube with no memory of how they arrived. In each face of the cube is a door which leads to… another cube. The problem—some cubes are safe, some contain deadly traps. Gradually a group of detainees comes together; they try to use their individual strengths to figure out the secret—how to get out?

It’s an interesting premise, but a tough call to make it last over 1 1/2 hours. The acting is so-so and the script OK but it’s hard to feel empathy because the premise is so odd.
