Sand Trap

SAND TRAP has a predictable storyline, complete with a typical ending, but still remains to be quite entertaining. The interesting thing about this movie is that it makes choosing sides very difficult. Viewers don't know whether to favor the good guy, who is basically an inept, irritating nerd kept in the dark all his life, or the bad guys, a mean-spirited adulterous wife and her brain dead lover. The characters aren't very deep, and none of them are intelligent, but it's still entertaining watching all the criminal hijinks and seeing a bullied nerd getting his revenge as an adult, although his methods are rather juvenile. Elizabeth Morehead shines in her portrayal as the cheating, two-sided wife, as does her criminal lover. I would recommend this movie if you were looking for a laugh or two one night, but don't expect a thrilling movie.

Yes gentlemen, this is probably a film only made for DVD rental, never released in theatres, I guess. So don't ask too much from it. A good B movie, shot in locations with a tiny budget. Of course we have seen this kind of topic lots of times before: the wife, the husband and the couple's friend, and also the wife's lover, inappropriate lover. see what I mean? But, I repeat, for a TV film, or something like that, I find it adequate. The directing, acting and so on are forgettable, corny, everything you want, I agree. But I always watch for the story in first. And this one reminds me Roy Ward Baker's DANTE'S INFERNO, made in 1953, with nearly the very same story: the poor husband abandoned in the middle of the desert by the two lovers, the wife and her boy friend.

Yes gentlemen, show some gentleness for this kind of productions, please. There are not more than B movies for DVD releases, to be watched while eating a pizza with your wife and your friends - but beware, remember the lines above, be sure that those friends are not so closed to your dame !!!

I was very disappointed when I saw this film. It was a big achievement of me to sit through this film and it shows that I have got a lot of perseverance.

The film was very predictable and not original at all. You know what is going to happen from the beginning till the end. The acting is terrible. The transfomation of Nelson (David John James) from a city man into a wild man in the desert is the laugh of the film. If this was a comedy it is OK, but it isn't. It is a serious film about a man that is betrayed by his wife and his best friend and who's trying to survive in the desert.

I would like to warn everyone to stay away from this film. It can ruin your evening!

Found this gem of a movie on You Tube. Highly entertaining and enjoyable!

A rich man with a very attractive wife plus their lawyer visit a desert location to view real estate. But all is not what it seems as someone has murder in mind....

All the players give first rate performances which had me engrossed throughout. The lead David Markey more or less steals the show.

Beautifully directed and presented.

Now even though the story spirals slightly out of control almost into black comedy that does not detract from a super thrilling picture!

8/10.

The plot, Nelson and his wife and best friend goes out to check out some land that his best friend had bought.

This one is a little bit slow but if you can manage that you got an excellent thriller about betrayal and revenge.

Characters are interesting, dialogs are great and scenes are good even though you seen desert scenes like hundreds times before. The plot/story even though you seen similar stuff before is an interesting one.

It's not a perfect movie, but it is a good one were you have good characters really making you to root for them or hate them. And like said, it's a bit slow but will pay back in tense moments.
