I was lucky enough to see this film at the Tribecca Film festival over the weekend, and I have to say it was one of the most interesting films I've ever seen. Strange, wonderful, quirky and exciting, you're never quite sure where things are headed, yet you're having so much fun that you gladly go along for the ride.
*Possible Spoiler* What made this movie all the more interesting was knowing that the screenplay is based on a similar experience the director had when he was abandoned in the Mexican desert by an acquaintance several years ago. It just brought the entire experience to a different level.
Also important to note, the cast in this film did a wonderful job balancing these characters. Both John Larroquette and Lolita Davidovich could have been chewing scenery right and left, but each of them chose a very subtle and ultimately more engaging approach that kept me engrossed in the characters.
