This movie answers the question that nobody asked: "What if we did Collateral in the desert, with Nicolas Cage and a boring script?".
I know the comparison may not be fair, I mean, the only common threads are a guy with a gun enters a stranger's car, threatens him with a gun and asks him to drive, leaving a chaotic path behind him.
The makers of this movie try to hold the audience captive, by making us think why the bad guy is doing what he's doing, but honestly, the lines are so bad and the twist is so weak, that not even Nic and Joel can save the story.
By the end of the movie, you are left with two unlikable characters and an unsatisfactory conclusion.
Honestly, this feels like a short story, stretched out to a full length feature.
Having said that, if you just want to see Nic Cage's "Caginess" being let out once in a while, you do get to see it, I just don't know if it's worth wasting 1h30 of your life for that.
