It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
... View MoreThe movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful
... View MoreStrong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
... View MoreIt's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

... View MoreMy quick rating - 6,1/10. Pretty tense movie. You wouldn't think there would be much to keep your attention being pinned on the side of a car by a sniper. But for 1.5 hours, this movie had me watching. I think they key to success is the fact that these were everyday people. Not the "one" person who happens to coincidentally be ex-navy seal, or something like that. And the ways that they respond to the terror of being trapped on the side of the road by some person for no apparent reason, plucking them off for fun, and at will was quality stuff. For the gore fans, the effective use of blood, and also suggested further body damage was quite gruesome. I was close to putting this in the horror category, but I'll stick with thriller, with some horror elements. Drop in a very good ending, and you end up with a darn good movie. Don't bother with the other reviews on IMDB. Too many said the "why didn't they do this, or that" and appreciate this movie for thinking, "what would I do" and I bet you won't just be coming up with clever mcgyver ideas, but would most likely be peeing yourself in fear. This just makes it all the more real (in fiction)
... View MoreYes, not hype, but a recognition of sorts, of minimalistic storyline, and a fair amount of what you came for; horror.The sense of dread starts about the 20 minute mark in, and continues til the credits get ready to roll. Originality is subjective, but hard to find genre films of a group of 20 somethings, who run aground without use of their phones no less, and get trapped behind their impaired vehicle for the better part of 90 minutes by an unknown. The "unknown" being a sadistic sniper. Not a spoiler, but it's pretty much known going in, trailer and all.It picks up a head of steam...tapers off for an act, and the final act is over the top....Gore *Check*, Suspense *Check*, Tension *Check*, Release **Yep*There is no rhyme or reason,just carnage and exploitive violence and it's a script/plot that is scaled back of information and depth, and it's not afraid to be just that...and that's where you check your brains and just enjoy the ride.
