I just happened to stumble upon this on Netflix instant when I was looking for something to watch and maybe take a nap. Saw that it had Adrien Brody so I figured I would give it a shot. This turned out to be a good decision and a pleasant surprise although; I never did manage to get that well deserved nap in.
The plot of this film consists of a man waking up trapped in wrecked car at the bottom of a ravine. He has no idea who he is or how he arrived in his current situation. As the character struggles to escape the vehicle and he slowly starts to remember who he is and how he came to be. But can he trust his memories? I would say more but I am trying hard not to reveal any spoilers.
This is certainly not a big budget Hollywood production and the film is a bit slow at times. My suggestion would be if you looking for some Michael Bay explosions and lots of special effects then you came to the wrong place. That being said the film does a good job of making you feel claustrophobic and trapped in the car with the main character. If you enjoy quality acting, hiking in the woods and plot twists that keep you guessing you might enjoy this film.
Brody was excellent in the film and pretty much carries the entire movie on his shoulders. There are very few other characters in the movie and limited dialogue. There are some tense and suspenseful scenes and I felt like I was trapped in the woods in the Pacific Northwest. The film sort of reminded me of Memento in some respects.
This is the director Michael Greenspan's first feature film. I would not be opposed to checking out some of his future endeavors as he did more than an admirable job with this film.
I would recommend giving this a look see on Netflix instant view if you have the opportunity. I found it to be a pleasant surprise and worth my time.
