With two weeks remaining until her wedding young Mallory decides to take a long journey across country in her fiancée’s SUV.
And if we can believe that we can surely believe that she can break down in the middle of nowhere with no phone reception in searing heat.
And if we can believe that one we can surely believe that a random guy appears to fix the car, warrant a lift and charm the betrothed woman so much that she has second thoughts of her looming nuptials.
And if we can believe that we can surely believe that the guy proves a scumbag. I mean he didn’t need to bother with the ruse seeing as he chanced upon the woman with no phone reception and no means of escape, what with her broken down car and whatnot.
And if we can believe that we can surely believe that the subsequent escape attempt leaves her stranded in a wrecked car with no means of communication, no food and in danger of dehydration starvation and – why not? – drowning when a flash flood occurs.
And we’ve believed everything else, so let’s pretend that the bad guy reappears now and then for no reason but to taunt and tease, before leaving again to imperil others.
And after all that, believe this: someone wrote this and gave it to someone. That someone read it and thought “yeah, that’s believable enough!”
There are no curves here, only bafflingly straight lines.
Final Rating – 5.5 / 10. A better Tagline might be “try to suspend your disbelief”.
