Review of The Toll

The Toll (I) (2020)
6/10
first half great
28 March 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Ride-share driver Spencer picks up female passenger Cami at the airport. It's the middle of the night. Cami is suspicious of the awkward Spencer when the car breaks down in the middle of nowhere. There is a mysterious danger out in the night and they can't escape for some unknown reason.

The first half of the movie is great. There is a great back and forth with suspicion about Spencer. Quite frankly, the paranoia gets to a point where I even suspected Cami of foul play. Then the old lady breaks the tension. She arrives for an info dump and some questionable reveals. I don't get not even trying. Spencer should at least touch the vehicle and hop on to escape. The first half is much better for not revealing anything. The movie functions better without the info dump. The mystery is more compelling. The second half doesn't have quite as much tension.
