This movie had a descent premise, but boy, did it not deliver.

The acting is terrible, the plot is all over the place, and most of the "twists" are easy enough to guess.

By the time the few details that I did not guess were revealed, I no longer cared.

The best part of this movie is the jump scare in the beginning with that hand reaching out over the desk.

That hand leads you to believe this will be a much better movie than it is.

Even the ambiguous time period ( I honestly didn't even realize it wasn't current til I noticed the men were wearing hats with their suits) this movie seems to be set in just added to the over all muddled feel of it.

Definitely skip this one!

This movie was nowhere near what I thought it would be. The whole thing is ridiculous, and not in a fun way. If the drive in was still a functioning drive in, why not hitch a ride with the people that got to leave?? Or was literally everyone who came to the drive in forced to stay? Why?? Why would the government want to have to take care of and babysit people who otherwise had homes?? (Jimmy was neither a criminal nor homeless) If it was all about cleaning up the streets, then why weren't the "car boys" being rounded up forced to stay? Like another reviewer mentioned, why did everyone but Jimmy roll over so easily? Very unrealistic. I guess the Post Apocalyptic Mad Max setting was supposed explain away anything that didn't make sense. Lazy writing aside, most of the characters were unlikable, the girlfriend was a complete airhead, the racism storyline came out of absolutely nowhere, and even the visuals weren't as good as they could have been. The supporting characters were dull, with the actually cool looking people left in the background. This movie really could have done with a sympathetic character or two amongst the long time drive in "inmates". And of course the acting was pretty bad, but i expected (and can often overlook, if the movie is entertaining enough ) that. What annoys me most is, WHO Is that on the cover of the movie??? Not a single character looked like that. I kept waiting for him to show up, as some kind of helpful weirdo type character, or maybe even some sort of ultimate villain or something. I've been looking for this movie for years and was delighted to find io on Tubi, now I'm very disappointed. I shoulda just quit while I was ahead, with Killer Klowns From Outer Space - now THAT was fun!
