Truly Dreadful Film

Boring, long, and too preachy.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

As someone who couldn't stand Dean Cain in anything else I'd ever seen him in, I was expecting to have to tolerate his presence here to enjoy what sounded like an interesting film. In fact, for the most part I enjoyed his performance, finding it hard to equate with the sickly Clark Kent I'd primarily known him as. Understated, a decent range of emotion conveyed, perfectly good. As I approached the film, since my only concern was tolerance of Dean Cain and he came through with flying colours (blue, red and yellow...? ohoho!), you might think, as I did, that settling into enjoying a taught little sleeper with a very good premise to build on would be the order of the day. Instead, I found a few too many generic set-pieces and, worse, a couple of moments of real head-slapping "I can't believe he did that" stupidity. *****Spoilers: Examples of generic set-pieces and stupidity***** (1) Generic: Talking badly about a dangerous third-party to a friend/associate who, like you, is in the process of escaping from him, only for it to turn out he's there with that friend/associate. (2) Generic: Possible "salvation figure" (in this case a cop) spotted and approached with intent to confess or give yourself up, their expression fixed, and as you get right to them, it turns out they're dead. (3) Stupidity: Pouring the contents of the food packages along the road, and dropping the bag there - Why not just pull over somewhere and put it all in a hole?? (4) Stupidity: Taking the truck (not to mention leaving the car in plain view). You want to evade the law, whom you've already had a bit of a brush with, but now you're in a stolen vehicle?? (I didn't see him leave any money for it) (5) Stupidity: The height of it, where I really thought the film lost a lot of credibility... Telling plans, in detail, to a basically anonymous person with no reason for "loyalty" to you (the phone navigation woman). *****End of spoilers***** I also found the role of Danny Trejo a disappointment... He had high billing and I was expecting/hoping to see the sort of brilliantly menacing performance he excels at but instead we get a lot of his voice and only, to memory, one glimpse of his face in the whole film... In summary: Didn't feel I'd completely wasted my time, did watch to the end, but quite unsatisfying overall and extremely unlikely to really stick with you. Comparisons: Not to Phone Booth. "Phone Booth in a car" is a poor comparison. He's being threatened by regular phone-calls but that's about it for similarity there. The most obvious comparison to me is The Hitcher (the original), followed by Breakdown, an element of Duel and any number of "person being chased by villain/s they double-crossed" type chase films before you get to Phone Booth.

This movie has almost made me lose faith in film entirely. Did someone actually think it was a good idea to make it? What small, pathetic scraps of a plot line that this film actually contained were overwhelmed by about 60 minutes of nothing.Yes.Nothing. That is what this movie is. I was even naiive enough to hold out hope that Lost would perhaps redeem itself with some amazing ending... Needless to say, I was sorely disappointed. This from someone who is VERY open-minded about all forms of art. Sometimes, movies just should not be seen. This is one of those times.(However if you do have too much time on your hands and want to see an impressively boring movie... Lost is just the ticket

Awful awful awful!!! If you want to waste your evening I highly recommend this movie.. It made wonder about the stupidity of a master-mind criminal spreading waste around, leaving maps containing his route information written on it, and worst of all: trusting a person without any reason but a sickening ending to this movie. The goofs in the movie are hard to ignore while being all around and in your face.. The car the guy drove in broke down because there wasn't enough cooling liquid in it, then he goes and sit behind a billboard the badguy pisses against while not noticing superman, and voilá: his car is fixed! Every attempt in the movie to let it be 'arty' or anything where just too obvious and annoying, the road aid parts between the scenes.. yuk.. I was a hardcore Superman fan when I was young, but this just made me want to rip my teeth out of my mouth. I watched this with 6 friends, of which 4 made it till the end without falling asleep, and those 4 remaining agreed to this being crap. And yes, that is a plot spoiler.... DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT SEEING THIS!!!!

all in all it was a pretty good flick,but a few questions need to be addressed;first off he was driving a brand new something perhaps a BMW i dunno couldn't really tell, but he did run low on fuel and had to stop and fill up,but later when he was driving the 1980,81 ford f-150 p.u. gas was no longer an issue.(i drove one of those gas hogs for years),and his ran pretty damn good for $500; 2.if archer was such a good Apache tracker why couldn't he see the rush cover-up job that Stanton did with his tire tracks in the sand when he hid behind the billboard? i mean the apache man did see a cigarette butt on the highway while doing 70!; 3. how in the hell did archer figure out he was using g.p.s. and Judy at that? but in the end i thought she was working with the feds and was leading him into a trap for a reward.
