Cube / Cypher ( Blu-ray )
A blu-ray double feature from director Vincenzo Natali. 'Cube' (1997, 92 mins) - Six strangers wake up inside a three-dimensional maze of interlocking cubes. None of them know how they got there or why they have been chosen. Some cubes are safe but others are booby-trapped. The only clue is a cryptic number stenciled on each of the six doors. Only one thing is clear, unless they can co-operate to reveal the secrets of this deadly trap, they don't have very long to live. This innovative and tense number stars Maurice Dean Wint and Nicole de Boer. 'Cypher' (2002, 92 mins) - Morgan Sullivan (Jeremy Northam) is an out of work accountant, stuck in an unhappy suburban life. Seeking an escape, he joins the multinational corporation Digicorp as a company spy. While carrying out assignments Morgan encounters an elusive and beautiful woman, Rita (Lucy Liu), who reveals to him that his Digicorp activities have been a ruse to brainwash him and others like him. Morgan's survival lies deep in his mind and actions, but its difficult distinguishing reality from the visions that plague him; lines are blurred, charades and dreams become truths. His only hope is Sebastian Rooks; an enigmatic deep-cover operative. To be saved by Rooks, Morgan must complete a final assignment... A smart sci-fi conspiracy thriller from the director of "Cube". "It's rare that you get a thriller that is as intelligently effective as "Cypher"." - Margaret Pomeranz, The Movie Show.
