Trivia

Thomas Jane has voiced his disappointment over the fact that the studio didn't give the film a theater run, rather releasing it on DVD and not in the 3-D format in which it was intended. Further disappointment comes with the fact that the released cut of the film is far from Jane's preferred version.

Goofs

When Dick is fighting with Bloodyface, it's obvious he's not hitting anything but dirt with the rock he's holding.

Quotes

Dick: Well, that's the last time I cross the desert without a gun. Have you ever used a gun?
Gina: [softly] I hate guns.
Dick: [reaching down, then waving aloft the gun he found in her purse] I guess this one doesn't count, huh?

User Reviews

surely well done

Well, I am not sure what to think about this movie I had fun looking at it, Lauren German is more than gorgeous, the acting has no flaws, the pace is satisfying, characters are alive, normal, but the place where they are is not . The story is not that original, if you have some practice in mystery thrillers you have a fair chance to guess what is happening long before the end. Could be a remake of some old movie, a good remake anyway. What I liked most is the nice photography of the desert night. Did you ever feel out of space-time looking at a starred sky, undisturbed by city lights? Well, that is the case. As for the 3D, have fun.
