3/10
OK for a while but the final segment failed big time

At time of posting, there's only Billie's review (which you should definitely read BEFORE this one). I'm not going to repeat anything he says (he's covered many aspects more than once already). All I'll say is: he has everything correct, except I probably liked the first two segments a bit more than he did and I went into the third segment feeling intrigued. Alas at this point the plot disintegrated. Major spoilers follow.

It's one of those: she crashed for no reason, her car went out of sight of the road and she got trapped inside. Her acting is fine as she tries to escape, but the things the writers make her do are just stupid. She can hear cars going by on the road, just a few yards away, so she shouts for help, never tries to honk her horn. OK maybe the horn was broken, but are we supposed to believe she sits there for a couple of days before thinking of looking for her phone, by which time of course it's dead? And why does it take five days before she makes the least attempt to pull herself free of the car - which she then does at once, even weakened as she is after all that time with hardly any food and water. If this sort of nonsense doesn't bother you, I'm sorry I spoiled this. If it does, I'm glad I warned you.
