Review of Desolate

Desolate (I) (2018)
1/10
Predictable and truly awful
22 July 2019
Desolate supposedly takes place in a land where no rain has fallen in forever, but there is grass -- brown grass. Evidently these dumb jack-knapes don't know what ground would look like when nothing grows for years. There wouldn't be ANY grass you morons. Try a desert, the outback? A tundra? Not the badlands... that grass is just summer dormant. Idiots make bad movies.

Anyway, bad settings aside, the story is asinine and boring as hell. A stupid idiot of a kid has three equally stupid and overbearing older brothers and a "shades of Deliverance type" stupid father who all insist he tow the line, which up until this point he evidently hasn't been doing but suddenly feels the need to do now?

Stuff as expected goes from bad to worse. There is a girl. There is stolen money. There are bad guys. There is betrayal. There is more betrayal. There is a lot of death. The comatose stupid kid is a hero under it all. All the people who should live do except one sacrificial good guy. Blah, Blah, Blah. Does it sound familiar? It should. You've seen it before. It bored you then. It will bore you now. Don't bother.
