After watching Cube with my husband the other night, it is very likely the film we've discussed the most after first watching.  At first glance, the film seems very simplistic, but when you consider a broader perspective (as some characters mention) and allegorical implications, the film become far more complex.  If you get the chance, watch Cube....it's worth it!
