i do not know where to begin and so i will begin with a snippet from the back of the cover of this movie . alive combine the tension of vincenzo natali cube with kitamura own versus . i have not see versus and so i can not comment on that and but i think cube be an excellent movie which i recommend to everyone . however and in this case someone have clearly confuse tension with boredom . i will just go ahead and spoil the entire plot and because besides be one holy swiss cheese of a plot and it also moldy cheese and and the movie be not worth spend any time on even if you do not know the plot beforehand and so it doesn not matter . if i have misunderstand the plot and do not hit me it probably because i have to struggle to keep my eyelid open . so the american military in nevada once lose a ufo i the nambi desert . this apparently make sense because theyre both desert so surely theyre practically the same place . different continent or not . a monkey broke into the ufo and acquire an alien something which be pass on to a japanese researcher who have to eat the monkey to survive in the desert . what ever . the alien thing be now pass on to anyone who bloodthirsty enough to kill the current host . the japanese military want to use it for military stuff and so they decide to make it pas from the current host ( the researcher daughter ) to some other dude . but instead of just pick someone out of the military and which be full of people who be bloodthirsty and already on the military side and they decide that it probably a good idea to pick some criminal out of death row instead . oh and and the reason they pick this particular criminal from death row be because he be the first person in history to not die from the non lethal electric shock which be the standard execution method and because everyone dy from the placebo effect when they get electrocute . i do not know if they do this so they can giggle in the staff room at how everyone die even though it not deadly and or if they just want to cut down the electricity bill . then the movie turn into what the matrix would have be if it have be really lame and and superfluous fighting bore u to tear for what feel like an hour . and oh wait and now they remember that they already have a dude who be infect with the alien thing and so the entire movie up to this point be actually a totally waste of time and also human life . then everyone die . the end . the only one moment in the movie where i do not want to go away and sleep or eat a sandwich instead and be when a dude be pin to a wall by a pipe through his chest and and he hang around up there and another dude walk by . the dude hang on the wall say i be in pain and shoot me . and the living dude look at him and and it not like he a mean dude or anything and so he really look sorrowful and doesn not want the guy on the wall to suffer . so he shoot him . ( rhetorical pause . ) in the stomach . gee thanks a freakin heap .
