Plot |
This low-budget science-fiction drama, winner of a 1997 Toronto Film Festival prize for "Best Canadian First Feature," depicts the plight of a group of people clad in prison-style uniforms and trapped in futuristic cube-like metal cells. Their memories are hazy; no one can recall how they got there. Alderson ( Julian Richings ) awakens in a cell, seeks an exit, and arrives in an adjacent cube where he's sliced and diced. Former cop Quentin ( Maurice Dean-Wint ) becomes the group leader, and he's challenged by conspiracy theorist Dr. Holloway ( Nicky Guadagni ). Government worker Worth ( David Hewlett ) remembers a past government link to the project. A discovery that the cubes have numerical codes suggests study by math-student Leaven ( Nicole deBoer ) while former thief Rennes ( Wayne Robson ) knows some escape tricks. However, the extreme behavior of Kazan ( Andrew Miller ) becomes a threat to their survival. Also shown at the 1997 Vancouver Film Festival . — Bhob Stewart |
