Unlike most low-budget offerings that try to overcome a weak plot with terrible acting, this is one of those rare gems that has a decidedly obscure plot (aside from the general "escape from the traps", which is something the very popular "Saw" series capitalized on years later). One could say the acting was well-below-average, but you have to look at two key factors there, as well: first, the limited running time, and secondly, the passage of time itself in the story.
We're seeing a condensed version of events, not the full ordeal the characters are going through, so things escalate quickly, i.e., people are at each others' throats, lashing out at one another more for their roles in society than their role in the current situation: The cop suspects everybody, the Doctor (more of the "accessible healthcare for all" variety than the "for-profit healthcare system" variety) has inherent issues with anyone involved in "the system", the self-deprecating engineer who does it for the money (and let's remember that this was the 90s, where the whole "no will to live" shtick was pop culture - TV series "Dead Like Me", the "New Goth" scene was being embraced by middle class suburbiana with spoiled rich kids carving Apple logos into their shoulders to protest their parents' capitalism from their iMac webcams, Grunge was top of the pops and dealt more with "why bother?" than "a brighter tomorrow", etc), the not-yet-cliche` "autistic" character (popularized by the movie 'Rainman', where the character in question was good with numbers, although not all Autistics are numbers-oriented), and the "nerdy girl" character (which actually wasn't yet at its height of popularity at that time).
As well, you have to understand the significance of the "red room" and the hostilities played out in that particular room; it's a Scientific fact that people placed in a red room will become openly hostile. The cliche` of "seeing red" equating to being angry is based entirely in Science. At the time this movie was made, this was a relatively new "discovery" that was officially recognized by the Scientific Community, even though the practice of painting the home team's locker room red and the visiting team's locker room a soft blue had been statistically proven to result in a home-team advantage and more wins than losses since the 1960s at least.
You do also have to overlook the errors regarding math, but there's no such thing as a movie that gets "everything" right, even though you'd assume that a plot which was so heavily hinged on such things would be researched more thoroughly. Again, it's a low-budget psychological thriller, not a training seminar on tangiential space calculations.
Lastly, it's Canadian, which isn't to say it's a bad thing, but it would have been considerably different (for better or worse) as a Hollywood product.
Overall, this is an important early movie in the "survival horror" genre that flourished in the 2000s, and you have to view it with the correct mindset to fully enjoy it.
I remember catching this movie on TV when it first premiered on the Syfy channel (when it used to be called SciFi at the time) back in 1999 when I was just 6 years old, and since then I have grown to progressively fall in love with it, what I love most about this movie is how it never provides answers as to the mysterious nature of the Cube itself, it remains concerned to the characters' attempts to survive its death traps and hopefully escape from it, but it turns out that they are more of a threat to themselves than the death traps ever could be, as human nature threatens to tear them apart. The cast, comprised of six people, give what I believe are fantastic performances, most especially Maurice Dean Wint as Quentin, who deserves a lot more recognition.
I HIGHLY recommend Cube, it is an independently budgeted film that deserves a lot of love and recognition from Movie Buffs like me. It is definitely worth the watch.

It’s hard to believe this film was made on a minor budget and the fact that only one cube set-piece was built to film the entire movie! I find that fascinating. If you’re looking for something unique and interesting, then I’d recommend this film. I can see where other (newer) films drew their inspiration from i.e. Escape Room (2019).
The five star rating is for the condition of the product. No problems with the case, disc, or shipping of the product.
のではないでしょうか。パズルの様な面白い映画です。他に類を見ない
面白さです。狭い空間の中で閉塞感漂う中、心理戦が繰り広げられます。
長い映画では有りませんが、見終えた後大変な満足感が有ります。
ちなみに続編等も何作か作られていますが、どれもB級感漂う
怪しい映画でした。続編は余りお勧め出来ません。本作は激しくお勧めします。
The setting is great, the reason for the cast being inside a large cube made up of several smaller rooms, some "safe" and some trapped in a variety of interesting and gory ways is never revealed. Does this matter? No: the writing, direction and acting allow the characters to develop sufficiently to add just the right tension.
The plot: how do the cast get through the maze of shifting rooms to the exit? Sounds simple but the claustrophobia of the sets coupled with the increasingly fraught interraction between those trapped makes this a true gem almost reminiscent of other great clautrophobic inducing sci - fi films e.g. Alien -trapped in a confined space with nasty things round the corner and trying to escape. See basic plot (in theory) coupled with excellent direction and acting equals great film.
