    The four dumbest "geniuses" in film history. You know a film sucks when the audience is able to figure out the answer to the puzzles way before these mathematicians can.

    A spanish flix that manages to be intelligent, intriguing and thrilling which bears special resemblance to 'The cube'
    The concept is simple but effective and is built on by several layers of mystery and good performances.

    cube did it better and with a lot more gore, but watch this and youll get something from it, a nice score also stands out

    Good thriller that manages to capture the audience's attention.
    Interesting plot with good mathematical riddles.
  • August 4, 2009
    Formulaic but watchable: it'll never have the cult appeal of Cube, and rightly so.

    a little thriller, not great but decent. The mathematica enigma concept was a good idea but unfortunatly the plot is to simple, they re using too much clichés, and the "easy" reversal of situation during the second half of the movie just reveal us all the weakness of the script a...( read more)nd actors... get bored when the real thrill could have begun.. disappointing.

    This is novel. A locked room mystery, where if you don't solve the mystery the walls will crush you. Pity it was four mathematicians and not four bankers. How can you time five minutes if you only have one hourglass of seven minutes duration and one of four minutes duration ? ...( read more) Think quickly, because those walls are closing in. It is all about as likely as the last Transformers film, but if you like puzzles, you'll like this. Nicely shot and well played, although the only realistic thing about it was that one of the mathematicians was wearing corduroy trousers.

    A decent thriller; Saw but with mathematical pretensions.
  • September 16, 2008
    Formulaic thriller trying to be clever by adding some little mathematical trivia. Some shallow acting and stereotypical characters and situations.

    What can I say.
    TENSION.
    It's great. One of the best spanish movies.
    I got really nervious all the time hahaha loved it
