There is so much wrong with this, I don't even know where to start. I guess the beginning is always as good a place as any.
We start out with a girl driving down a two lane highway, who then turns off on to a dirt road. She gets a call from her brother who asks her how far away she is. She says, not far... just six hours. SIX. HOURS. Where in the Continental United States do you EVER drive down a dirt road when you are SIX HOURS from your destination?
I'll try not to give anything away (not that there really IS anything to give away, but...) so... now we'll move on to the two sisters - the main characters. For 99% of this "movie", we follow thee two girls - and ONLY these two girls - around. For 95% of THAT time, these two are arguing and yelling at each other, or just generally whining. Half way through, I was HOPING they'd get it just to shut them up! The younger one especially!
As they are driving, one sister falls asleep (so we're told) and when she wakes up, she asks where they are. The other one tells her that she doesn't know, but that they are somewhere in Texas. In a car with a Texas license plate. So of COURSE they are "somewhere in Texas!" But she wasn't being facetious. She was serious. Even more odd though, is that when they stop for gas - at apparently the ONLY gas station in all of Texas - she says that they are just "passing through" on their way to... COLORADO! The only way that that makes sense is if they were coming from Mexico. Again... in a car with Texas license plates. And although the two girls are Hispanic, they speak perfect English and never once mention Mexico.
Oh.. and "perfect English." I don't know about you, but it just rubs me the wrong way when people who have lived in the US all their lives, who speak perfect English with no accent whatsoever, suddenly have an accent when they say certain words. Every time the older girl says her sisters name "Sandra," she suddenly develops a thick Spanish accent. My grandmother, who literally came over from Sicily, didn't talk like that and there is no reason for anyone to do that other than for "look at me" attention.
Ok... back on the road again... the two girls seem to take the same dirt road the first girl took, only to be back on the main two lane highway again. Before finding themselves BACK on another dirt road. :eye_roll:
All of that is bad enough, but the absolute lack of ANY real story is just beyond forgivable. We sat through this disaster of a "movie" and nothing was ever really explained. Dad? The ring? Colorado? The town? The people of the town? The wanted posters?...
There isn't a single positive thing that I can say about this train wreck. I know this is only 79 minutes long, but even THAT is way too long to waste watching this. Go outside and watch grass grow , instead. You will thank me later.
