What happens when two losers are somehow given the power to make things they despise disappear off the face of the earth? That's the premise of Nothing. As with his earlier film Cube, Vincent Natali's has crafted a high-concept mind-game. But where Cube aimed for paranoid dread, Nothing comes across as a giddy, boundlessly energetic metaphysical romp that playfully blends special effects with manic character work. The script, by co-star Andrew Miller and Andrew Lowery, is unapologetically goofy, although there is the occasional dark-edged barb and philosophical quandary that helps to keep things sharp. The Vancouver Film Festival said: "Natali has crafted a genuinely original, visually innovative brain-bender. One thing is guaranteed: you've never seen anything like Nothing."
