As the title states, I was pleasantly surprised by this film and equally impressed with the hero, Zakes. Despite being labelled a slacker by his girlfriend, Zakes rose to the occasion when she was kidnapped by a psychopath. I couldn't help but cheer him on his mission, even though their relationship had hit the skids. His putting himself into a dangerous situation was proof of his love for her. Only if we all had someone like that. I also thought Zakes handling of situations were realistic and very smart. He used his brain and intuition when faced with challenges. I look forward to more work by this director and the lead actor, William Ash. I didn't need an explanation why the guy in the truck was kidnapping these women. Why overstate the obvious? Films sometimes trip themselves up when trying to "explain" everything. It really wasn't about the psychopath. It was about one man's journey to save the woman he loves. The film succeeds because of the likeability and resilience of the hero. I could have done without the ending that hinted at a sequel. I wish the filmmaker would have quit while he was ahead. Do we always need an open "ending"? It's a genuinely taut thriller and I recommend it!
