One of Christian Slater's early hits finds Slater as a high school kid with the biggest passion of his life being skateboarding. Gleaming The Cube casts him as the son of Ed Lauter and Nicole Mercurio. He has an adopted Vietnamese brother Art Chuddabala that the parents may have gone overboard to make him feel like one of the family, possibly ignoring Slater. In any event he's a misfit kid with skateboarding on his mind 24/7.
Chuddabala works for Le Tuan a Vietnamese exile who has an electronics store but who also works to supply arms needed for counter revolutionists in the old country. One night Chuddabala discovers some bookkeeping errors and it gets him killed by arms dealer Richard Herd.
They fake a suicide, but that does not stop Slater. After the cops have closed the case he starts his own little investigation and when needed Slater's skateboarding posse is at his command.
Gleaming The Cube does not have Slater as one of the more outrageous and quirky characters he specialized in the 90s playing. Still there's a lot here for his fans to enjoy. The skateboarding acrobatics by the pros who worked on this film are spectacular. Christian Slater fans will like it as will others.
