A woman goes missing on a bike trip around Argentina and her friend desperately searches to find her.
This is a fairly familiar tale as two naive girls find out the hard way that if you're traveling around a strange country you need your wits about you.
The Argentinian setting at least makes a pleasant change from normal USA thrillers and there is some nice cinematography. Amber Heard does a good job as the woman looking for her friend evoking the sense of desperation you'd feel looking for someone in a foreign country. Karl Urban as the man helping her is likable if a little wooden.
Based on the relatively low IMDb rating ( currently 5.2) I wasn't expecting too much. In truth although nothing outstanding this is fairly engrossing and at times tense thriller. It does at least try and spring a few surprises that you don't see coming.
The ending is fairly predictable but this is still a fairly enjoyable ride.
