What Lies Ahead

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.

Lacked subtitles for the elderly, disabled, hearing impaired, and ESL viewers. Disrespectful & cheap on the part of the producers especially when audio levels are poor. Almost always a sign of cheap are prolonged opening overhead scenes of car on road, and then of occupant (s) inside. In this case we were bludgeoned into a state of mind numbness by almost the entire movie of seeing through two + cameras attached to the car two women journey hundreds of miles to another city. These two strangers to each other spend the whole movie in stupid artificial chit chat w/the only drama being their opposite personalities - one is meekly quiet, the other profanity loud. You suffer through knowing there's got to be some drama at the end which there was, but it was dumb & inconclusive. Thank you fast forwarding.

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

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.
