About
If you like harsh, high-stress thrillers with grim exploitation energy and a nasty roadside setup, this could work for you, especially if you enjoy films like Kidnapped or Revolver; Not for you if you dislike sexual violence, cruelty, or mean-spirited stories.
Pros: intense road-trip tension; strong central menace; unpredictable turns | Cons: sleazy content; uneven acting; runs too long
