A V @RT31116709 May 4 Spoilers: A girl somehow escapes captivity & runs so far from the scene that she doesn’t meet up with someone before this long distance truck driver who is over an hour away by car apparently bc the truck driver just happens to be delivering furniture to the kidnapper but it takes over half the movie for him to arrive. Rather than calling 911 when a girl tells her she needs help, she takes the call from her client & gives him her exact location first. Two guys show up to spray paint the truck & try to rob the woman. She asks them to use their phone, calls 911 but doesn’t speak the operator bc at that moment she sees the spray paint & flips out on them. The guys suddenly become evil. The whole time she’s been thinking they’re the kidnappers but she still asks them to use their phone to call for help. The girl hears them but rather than going out to ask them for help, she stays hidden. It’s just all downhill ridiculous from there. Esp the reveal of who the kidnapper is & his motive. See more Roberte L. @ritik61 Feb 4 Implausible female, motherly reaction to a young girl seeking help. Too many holes. Unbelievably, coincidental meet up between female truck driver and female kidnap victim. Just a terribly edited movie. Who greased your palms for this movie rating, RT? See more ronald h @RT44372985 11/29/2021 A generous two stars for a micro-budget indie film that tries but doesn't quite succeed, due to poorly written dialogue, amateurish acting, and cinematography that wants to be brooding and scary but is basically just dark to the point of viewer eye strain. I'm sure it's all well intentioned. But the lack of professionalism permeates everything. The closest thing to a pro actor is Pamela Jayne Morgan, who has never been in a major film but at least has some experience. She does her best. Dawn, a middle-aged moving van driver (Morgan) pulls into a state park one night to catch some Z's. She is accosted by Phoebe, a young woman (Juliette Alice Gobin) who claims that she has been imprisoned in a trailer by a psycho and has managed to escape. The psycho is looking for her. For reasons that don't really make any sense, the two women end up in the back of the moving van, hiding until daylight. I apparently missed the reason they can't use Dawn's cell phone and how the truck keys disappear, and that's part of the problem: Important story details are shot too quickly and not clarified. That includes the flashback that recounts what happened to Phoebe. It's choppy and confusing. The events are cleared up at the end with a requisite expository scene, but I still had questions. You will, too. There is also an extended sequence with two punks (ineptly played by Rafe Soule and Jake Laurence) who hassle and humiliate Dawn while Phoebe cowers in the truck. The scene contributes nothing to the story but pads the movie with an extraneous 15 minutes. There is a decent twist two thirds of the way through. Of course, the bad guy eventually appears. And the action ramps up in the last 20 minutes. I'm a defender of indie films. This one has its shortcomings, but I'll give it a B minus for effort. See more 06/27/2021 Too much of the action and dialogue is outside the realm of reality/common sense. Two leading actresses get a C+. See more 06/13/2021 Clearly the producers of the movie asked all their friends and family to leave fake reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Absolutely terrible movie, save your money and time! See more 06/02/2021 The other reviews for this movie were obviously fake. I guess RT doesn't verify anything anymore. This movie was made by someone who has never been told no. It is so bad. It doesn't make any sense. The acting is horrible. And literally nothing happens for the entirety of the film. It is not worth the $3.99 amazon rental. See more Read all reviews
