Review of Curve

Curve (2015)
1/10
Awful pile of nonsense

Warning: Spoilers
This is one of the most ridiculous films I have had the misfortune to watch. It is so predictable, you can talk your way through the movie right from the start. Your brain is always three steps ahead.

Mallory is driving to Denver for a wedding rehearsal. There is an air of unhappiness as her fiancé is putting work in front of their honeymoon plans. Mallory seems disillusioned with her future. Her car breaks down and out of nowhere comes the handsome and charming Christian who fixes her car. Mallory offers Christian a lift (after initially thinking it best not to). She also chooses to not join back on to the freeway and continues on with Christian. After she misses the turning for the freeway Christian's tone in conversation turns to that of an explicit sexual nature. Mallory tells him to get out of the car which Christian refuses and basically threatens Mallory. Mallory takes the drastic action of crashing the car and ends up with her leg trapped and unable to get out. Christian however, even though he was thrown from the car and did not have a seat belt on comes out of it much better than she does and literally walks away.

She is then basically stuck in the car behaving like a pathetic whinging child as he comes and goes for around five days. The story is frustratingly predictable and as unrealistic as it gets (in my opinion). She pees once in these five days, does very little to try to escapes yet manages to kill and cut up a rat and roast it on a fire. She also somehow manages to pee in a bottle and drink it even though she has had water.

It just goes on and on.

My one positive is the acting skills of Teddy Sears, he's excellent in the role of a psycho baddie. Otherwise this movie is just pointless drivel.
