For a certain situation to happen, a lot of things have to go sideways. And you have to understand that it doesn't have to be logical, it just has to bring us where we end up. So the main character going there, is terrible, but to some extend acceptable. What is unacceptable though, is her behavior with a kid in the car.
Which is one of the points leading to a certain situation. But really there is no love lost for someone like that. It's tough to root for someone or feel for someone like that. Then again it's all about the kid isn't it? Yes and you could also argue, it's just a movie. And that's where it loses me or my interest. So the tension is almost completely gone, maybe if you accept certain things, you'll be on the edge of your seat. But I do doubt it very much

The movie is not even close as bad as the user reviews are making it out to be. Seriously. There are syfy channel productions with a higher rating. And this is way above them.
Nice idea, super clean cinematography (even though I normally don't like it like this) and the actress is also "ok". Sure there are cringe moments. But for a sci-fi TV movie that was all pretty much as passionate as it gets.
Well Where do we start with this one??Irresponsible wife takes a road trip across the desert with a small child in back seat.Yes really.The car is the safest car available,Futuristic/unbreakable/bulletproof/foolproof/drives itself etc. Well off she goes in it and the kid in tow.She doesn't get the technology of it so when computer tells her to take a short cut cos of an accident ahead she goes down a dirt track,and guess what there aren't any signs and its dark.Kid plays with his Bluetooth device and hey presto!!! He;s locked in Thats the concept of story!!!What happens from now on is the most unintelligent rubbish possibly to ever hit the screens YES THAT BAD.Sorry but the truth needs to be told.If you watch it believe me YOU WILL WANT TO REVIEW IT!!!You will feel that need!!!
Not sure why the negatives. The acting is decent. Effects on the car are cool. Shrug, movie was OK for me. Solid 5 out of 10. I have watched far worse.
I'm Italian but I have not been part of it. The film is not perfect (many mistakes by the plot and the actors) but I was very convinced of the concept of the story, taken from an Italian graphic novel. The protagonist might be less stupid, but the things he does go hand in hand with the plot context. The film deserves, a great innovation in Italian cinema, and a good bet for foreigners.
