7/10
fun trio
19 December 2015
Vincent Rhodes (Robert Sheehan) suffers from Tourette Syndrome. After his mother's death, his estranged father Robert (Robert Patrick) sends him away for treatment. He is roomed with obsessive clean freak Alex (Dev Patel). He falls for anorexic Marie (Zoë Kravitz). He and Marie run away stealing Dr. Rose (Kyra Sedgwick)'s car. Alex is going to tell on them so they kidnap him. The trio have an adventure as Robert and the doctor pursue them. Robert is unable to call the cops because of his political ambitions.

These are three interesting young performers in a fun road trip. They have great chemistry together. Zoë is enchanting and Dev is funny. I've been a fan of Sheehan since Misfits. As long as the movie stays with the group, it is perfectly fine. I find the ending satisfying. The three characters have their potholes in the road. They're not completely fixed in the end but they are better which is expected for this type of movie. Patrick and Sedgwick form the other half of the movie. Some of their scenes could be cut. In many ways, they are unimportant. I would rather spend the time with the trio as they work out their issues.
