Storyline

A man awakens in a mangled car-wreck at the bottom of a steep cliff. Injured and trapped inside, with no memory of how he got there or who he is, he must rely on his most primal instincts to survive. But as he attempts to free himself from the carnage and escape an impossible situation, a darker side is revealed. Even if he manages to survive, the man may have to face the horrible consequences of an earlier, forgotten life.

Trivia

User Reviews

Incredible acting let down by predictable plot

I was in a very brutal car wreck 9 months ago that broke my arm and shattered my hip (acetabular fracture). This movie seems to imply that Adrian Brody's character had similar injuries to mine and also threw in a really busted up knee! Seeing him trapped in the car and how he played the injury to his lower body made my breath catch in my chest on a few occasions. I would say I ran through similar emotions to him while trapped in my car, and with that regard I think not only was it well acted but seemed very true to what would happen in real life. All told this was a very claustrophobic and capably done suspense film. Anyone who has suffered a severe physical trauma in any type of accident probably had the same visceral reaction that I did. The plot twists were decent, but Brody selling the scenes while trapped in the car were frighteningly good.
