What do you get when you hire a Keanu Reeves look a like and a poundland Megan Fox? A film that sucks goats balls on a huge scale. Not based on the best hitch hiking movie ever the hitchiker of course so this is not even on the same level.
Dialogue which was written by a 5 year old and the most dire of acting on so many levels.
Not going to give any spoilers away because if you read my review you wont watch this movie and you will avoid at any costs.
Unsure why people finance these kind of films because you know your going to get your fingers burnt by a true critic and not one employed by the company churing this rubbish out.
Gave it 1 because there is no zero which sucks like this movie so go figure!

The hitch hiker who seemed to be crossed with Keanu Reeves and Russel Brand looked like he'd had a charisma bypass in this terrible and poorly directed flick. Not only could he not act to save his life, he couldn't even interact visually with the rest of the cast.
The rest of the cast were minutely better. The girl driver's roll seamed to be that she was trying to set a world record of sucking lolly pops and getting the wooden hitch hiker to remember his lines.
The rest of this hideous cast were archetypal rednecks, drawling their speech throughout this tin pot flick. If you can't act then don't make a movie !
I'd sooner give it 3 out of 567 billion. The dead turtle who she avoided on the road was the best actor in this awful flick. I can't reveal any spoilers cause there weren't anything to spoil.

I think that 5 is the right score for this movie. It reminds me of late night B movies from the 90s. You don't go into it expecting life changing performances and deep commentary. It's just fun, mindless entertainment to enjoy some popcorn with.
The big negative I will give it is the horrendous dialogue. I almost hope that the screenwriter intentionally wrote the dialogue as they did in order to simulate the B movie, made for tv style that the film was obviously going for, because the actors certainly did not have much to work with. People don't talk like that.
I will also say that in the era of streaming services where you have unlimited options for something to throw on when you're bored, you probably have better options. Still, I found it fun and enjoyable and I'm glad I watched it even though I probably will never watch it again. As a child of the 80s, it gave me a bit of nostalgia, some eye candy and a fun 90 minutes of sex appeal, drugs and violence.
If you're in the mood for that type of flick then give it a watch. If you're looking for better dialogue and something that doesn't try to feel like a budget, made for tv movie from the early 90s then you want to pass.

This cinematic masterpiece was clearly crafted by a visionary who simply couldn't be bothered with film school. The plot twists were so unexpected, they left me wondering if I accidentally stumbled into an abstract art exhibit. The acting? Let's just say they delivered their lines with all the passion of a room temperature napkin.
Truly, cinema has peaked. Forget B-movies, this is a ZZZ-movie. I can only imagine the director, cackling maniacally as they unleashed this cinematic atrocity upon the world. But hey, at least it wasn't that long. A small consolation prize for the two hours of my life I'll never get back.

When I first saw the hitchhiker at the beginning of the movie I thought, 'oh, cool. Dave Grohl is taking some time away from Foo Fighters and branching out into acting. I wish it had been the rock band's frontman. He could've been the secret axe murderer who is found out near the end is killing everyone with an electric guitar. The actor that actually played the drifter was a yawn at best. One dimensional. His character needed layers and wasn't given any. Not much onion to peel back.
Carmichael played the lead character and was able to give the role some texture. Once you get past the notion that this movie isn't a low budget T&A horror flick (no money in the budget for T&A), you then immerse yourself into what Carmichael's character is undertaking in her current adventure.
It didn't seem as if the LEOs (law enforcement officers) knew any cop procedures. I've watched countless hours of cop video on YouTube and these "TV" cops didn't seem realistic. I've watched perps fight with cops as handcuffs are being put on them. Sometimes it takes three or more cops to get cuffs on the criminal, even females.
Finally, I want to say the waitress gives the most authentic scream I've heard in a long time in a horror/thriller flick. Kudos to her.
