I anxiously waited for this film to be released---eagerly anticipating
every frame, and I was not disappointed when I "saw" the first
screening this afternoon. From the opening scene thru the end? I found
myself being transported into the big screen, taken for one of the
wildest rides I have ever experienced, and deposited back into my seat
knowing I had not wasted my money (nor the afternoon, for the matter).
I was kept guessing until the end, and I was not let down with a
"cliched and wrap it up" ending...I left wanting more. (Having seen
CUBE...I don't see the "ripoff"...I see a very well thought out
original script with a deeper story). The acting was very impressive
and very believable. A special shout out to the team who came up with
the set design and atmospheric lighting. I was moved and mentally
manipulated by this film, and when I stepped out of the theater into
the lobby and real life I had to take a minute to let my mind unwind
before I went out the theater door.
