This is not a typical thriller perhaps that's why the original review was so negative. Its basically a roadmovie with thriller elements. But in defense of this film it must be said that it is a really good movie. Perhaps its shortcoming is that it starts out as a roadmovie and stays that way for the first 2/3 of its length and then gradually moves much further toward being a thriller. Anyway, the end was really enthralling and the movie builds up enough suspense, but as mentioned it takes its time in doing so and is at times far more of a psychological thriller between 2 girls and a guy who take an adventurous trip across the interstate highways.
What I really like about the DVD was the somewhat fresh approach toward producing a thriller by combining 2 genrers - the roadmovie and thriller ones.

Summary: This is for all roadmovie and (psychological) thriller fans.

According to the cover, this film is supposed to be a thriller, but there was nothing thrilling about it. The cover also has a quote that the lead actor is like a "young Joaquin Phoenix". I thought this meant that his acting ability was similar to Joaquin's, but the only similarity I could see was his grimace during the entire movie (like he just smelled something foul).
The plot was flimsy, the characters were boring, & the movie ended abruptly. When the credits began rolling, I just sat there wishing I had spent the $4.00 rental fee on a gallon of gas instead.
I love to find great low-budget indies -- this wasn't a great find.
