What Lies Ahead

I believe this movie was made because it was cheaply done and the main actress has rich and talented parents. Cinematography, script and acting is terrible. If it got better, I could not tell you as the whole room begged for me to shut it off after 15 minutes of bad acting and script that nearly takes place in a car conversation. I feel robbed by redbox for charging any price for its rental

Rumer must have taken acting lessons from her Mom. Emma did a really good job but she looked she was about to die from starvation. Plot was good but once again like so many movies now days just not thought through. Just a thrown together piece of trash.

Its just all so forced. The fact that the guy would have a sister who is completely nuts to the point she values no ones life and he never knew it? And the "game" she plays with the girlfriend to see her "worth" is so stupid, it feels like watching some junior highschool bullying. I dunno, I just didnt feel like there was any flow to the storyline, I kept wondering why is she doing it. Sure, some people are just evil or sadistic but I just felt it was too artificial. And I love these kind of road trip movies, dark or light.

I made the mistake of watching the trailer which completely took away any wish to watch the movie as by the time the trailer had finished, the story had been drained of every twist and element of surprise. Someone needs to tell filmmakers that a trailer needs to trigger interest if they want people to go and watch the thing. My feeling is by showing a run-through of the movie people will have less interest not more. You would think that was commonsense but no doubt a lot of money has been spent on studies by marketing experts etc and likely it's been shown that trailers such as the one for this movie, actually increase the viewership. If that really is the case I have to admit to being totally baffled by it.

Was it a masterpiece? No! Oscar worthy? Definitely not.

Rumer has missed the talent gene,where maybe acting isn't really for her? It could of been just a bad script,director & cinematography too.

So many plot holes.. (Spoilers) Didn't anyone discover who,Raven was much sooner? Did the brother never video chat or visit his sister? I mean really his ex was living there,duh!

Did the brother never show his new girlfriend a photo,so she knew beforehand who she was meeting for the trip?

So they take us for this journey to meet a mysterious guy(with brief flash backs)who is all too,busy for anything or anyone but his work.. Only for his girlfriend to decide he wasn't worth talking even with,after she got back to be at some friends home from surviving the psycho ex.

Would I watch it again,just not worth it!
