This is a rather mediocre and forgettable "Tales From the Crypt" episode with only a couple of inventive ideas. Kyle MacLachlan severely overacts as the fugitive murderer/bank robber on his way to Mexico after yet another bloody heist. After a macho showdown with an overly ambitious copper (George DelHoyo), Kyle has to walk the last miles through the heated desert and carry an unforeseen burden. This episode feels more like a short action movie and lacks the morbid twists and humor of usual "Tales from the Crypt" stories. The only genuine horror element is presented in the shape of a vulture who patiently waits until MacLachan's character goes completely crazy. It's understandable that the emphasis lies more on action and macho behavior in this tale, as it was scripted and directed by Steven E. De Souza, who wrote some of Hollywood's most legendary action blockbusters ("Die Hard", "48 Hours", "Commando").
