The story of the movie is simple. The sexy and generous college girl Grace Andrews (Sophia Bush) and the handsome and handsome schoolboy Jim Halsey (Zachary Knighton) have been in love for a long time. On the occasion of this year's spring break, they decided to take a self-driving trip across the United States in the "classic car" produced in the 1970s.
While traveling to New Mexico, it was pouring rain every night, when a perverted killer appeared. Dude standing on the bridge section in the middle of the highway and raining makes people feel bad. Fortunately, it wasn't just me who saw this. The heroine also realized that the other party's behavior that was different from ordinary people was definitely not kind, and they chose to leave without giving the other party a ride. It seems that women's intuition is sometimes quite clever.
Unfortunately, by accident, Jim finally let the killer take a ride out of face. After kicking the other person out of the car for rude remarks, the couple realized they had met a cold-blooded guy. However, things were just the beginning, and soon the two fell into the hands of a murderer.
Then there is the chase all the way, the murderer is like a ghost on the road all the way, and the killing is full. The characters that have appeared are all unavoidable, including a family of three, several patrol officers, helicopters flying in the sky, police cars running underground, and the heroine's boyfriend and sheriff.
Merely being denied a ride by the young couple seems like the whole reason to kill, and it may seem illogical, but that's about the true definition of perversion. There is no excuse, there is no reason, just want to kill, as if Satan incarnate.
At the end of the film, the only survivor is MM. A series of terrifying pursuits and the tragic death of her boyfriend made her change from the initial sexy and gentle to a cold-faced terminator, bravely ending the killer and fulfilling the long-cherished wish of the murderer: i want to die. Such a death seemed to be what he had been looking forward to for a long time.
The rhythm of the film is well controlled, and the director does not think too much about the integrity of the plot, so there is not much waste overall. Sean Bean's merciless BT behavior and freezing eyes made the perverted killer look more like a cynical anti-human hero in the play, and the ending with the heroine pointing a gun at the head even made me There is an illusion of compassion...
Sean Bean's performance is quite satisfactory, barely passing. Compared with the role of Boromir in "The Lord of the Rings", it seems to be less satisfactory. The cold eyes and the most repeated line: i want to die are the two most impressive episodes.
