An average movie

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect from this flick but since I have a weak spot for both Wes Bentley and Rachel Nichols, I thought I should give it a try. First of all, I was wondering if Bentley was already sober at the time (he used to have a massive substance issue all along the 2000’s) and, apparently, he sobered up only a couple of years after making this flick. In retrospect, for a huge junkie, it didn’t really show on the screen (not like in ‘Soul Survivors’ where it was quite obvious or maybe the movie just plain sucked, that could be another explanation), and he gave a solid performances especially regarding those circumstances. Anyway, who am I kidding? It was seriously a rather weak horror-thriller flick. Indeed, there was this very long and boring intro and it took like forever before the whole thing really started (I don’t know, I think it took maybe 30 minutes before she becomes hostage or at least, it felt like 30 minutes) and it never really took off. Still, there was something quite intriguing and challenging to have the whole plot taking place in a parking lot with only 2 actors. The issue is that you need first a really good script (which wasn’t the case here) and some terrific actors and while Wes Bentley was barely decent, Rachel Nichols was rather underwhelming. Anyway, to conclude, even though the concept was not bad, it was still a rather weak feature and I don’t think it is really worth a look.
