you're gonna like this movie! All is not what it seems in this road thriller. Every actor is cast perfectly. The story unfolds nicely and calmly, and then shifts---at the flip of a coin. A twisted tale where situations appear as one thing, but really soething sinister is going on. It's really difficult to talk about a movie with alot of plot twists without ruining it. All persons involved with this project deserve a high-five for a thrilling suspence movie!

I caught this film on cable a while back and finally got around to watching it on my DVR. The film will remind some of the Coen Brothers and Quentin Tarantino films with its off the wall characters and familiar cast in such films. It's a very good film, but the only flaw I can see is that I kind of knew who the real bad guys were from the beginning. It doesn't make it any less enjoyable and fans of CB and QT should enjoy this quirky and refreshing film. It's not hard to see a little of 'No Country For Old Men' in this film and having Amanda Plummer (Pulp Fiction) and Robert Forster (Jackie Brown) will certainly bring Quentin Tarantino to mind. A surprisingly good little film that you may have never heard of.

One of my favorite films. If the picture had done any business, Robert Forster would have been nominated for an Oscar. It's a quirky and more than a little off-beat film - not really a a mystery so much as a strange adventure film. Give it a chance, you'll love it. And where else can you see Amanda Plummer naked?

i loved this film cause of the director's vision and performances.it is a bizarre film where the second half is completely different than the first.robert forster is terrific in this film.amanda plummer is annoyingly perfect too in her role.as the film unfolds you realize all the details from the first half play a key role in the second half.i don't wanna ruin it for you,so i won't go into anymore detail into it.trust me,all will lead to a great ending.

You will either love it or hate it. I loved it. This movie is quirky and as predictable as the flip of a coin.

Maybe, just maybe, this could have been a good movie in the right hands.Somewhere buried deep was a plot.The dialogue was cheesy and the acting was amateurish. It was too "David Lynch"!Not funny enough to be a comedy, and not serious enough to be a drama. And the ending just leaves you hanging. The budget had to be $1.00, which, ironically, was the denomination of the coin he kept flipping. I forced myself to watch it hoping against hope that I could find some redeeming quality, but, alas, I could not.I ended up throwing the tape in the trash.(I didn't even rewind it!) I couldn't bear to inflict this pain on anyone else.
