I had been told about this film, and had seen parts of it on cable, but finally sat down tonight and watched it from start to finish : Cube (1997)
It was a pleasant diversion for 90 minutes. I think I was supposed to like certain characters versus others, and maybe hope for my favorites to survive....but actually learned to dislike the whole bunch. Their bickering became annoying, and I became more interested in who/what was confining them instead of their fate - which I guess I was supposed to focus on. They all supposedly brought something different to the table - one was a math whiz, one a doctor, etc. One guy was an autistic Rainman type, with the commensurate math skills. I would have to say the highlight for me was near the end, when the cop character referred to the idiot savant as "telethon boy". Made me chuckle. Score: 2.5 Stars (out of 5)

The critics have warned against it, and Cube was so-so as it is.
Telethon Boy. Heh.
I couldn't post here last night. Blogger was saying that the site did not exist.
Strange.
I quite liked "Cube". My good lady loathed it with a passion.
I once met Nicole De Boer at a film fair and she autographed my DVD cover of "Cube". Lovely, gracious lady.
I'd be in pretty bad shape if that were accurate. As it is, the only DVD I own with a worn cover is Shot In The Dark.
You returned Run Ronnie Run in pretty poor shape.
