It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

I thought the movie story wise had a conceivable plot. It was just executed poorly. I thought Norman Reedus did a great job with what he had but it wasn't much. The character development was bare little to none which didn't leave the actors with much to do. Michael Vartan was not a good lead for this movie. He was very wooden. Also with the little amount of character development it didn't leave you caring about any of the characters including Kari. I have thought about buying this movie so I could rewrite it and give more character development and depth. My favorite scene was actually the scene that involves Reedus and his friends confronting the two brothers after his sister is nearly raped. It was shot well and acted well. Beyond that, everything else was subpar. The movie just had so much potential and it was executed poorly.

What a waste of energy and money. What a waste of what talent there was.Emilio Estevez was completely wasted and mostly unused throughout. Jon Lovitz was very mildly amusing but pointless. Harry Dean Stanton - why bother? And was it just me or can Kari Wuhrer barely act in this one.The story was pretty non-existent and really disjointed. One of my biggest problems was the reaction of the characters to the events that transpired. Like the surf "dudes" giving up their lives every time they were threatened in the last half? How about that you NEVER saw them surf once!! The set-up to some scenes took way to long with not enough pay-off to make us give a damn. Nothing in this "movie" felt really true or genuine.The only good things I can say is some (very little) of the scenery was filmed nicely and a few scenes were mildly interesting. Don't see this when there is so many better pointless movies out there.

why is every viewer so down on this movie????? flicks are supposed to be fun or entertaining or interesting or whatever and surely at least one of those terms could apply to SAND. i don't understand why everyone says its worthless or boring or all the other unkind remarks that were made. one watcher complained about all the technical errors such as poor editing, re-shoots and whatnot- i didn't notice. i was too busy enjoying the film-taking it for what it was and never once considered changing the channel!!! sure it has a lame scene or two- what movie doesn't??? the only thing that defies imagination is why the beach bums didn't take the bad guys guns away from them the first time they beat the crap out of them in the swimming pool at the motel. the bad guys threatened them three more times after that with the same guns!!!!! now THAT is a legitimate flaw in the writing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After the death of his mother, Tyler(Michael Vartan) tried to start a new life away from his father(Randy Quaid)and his delenquent brothers with the family tag along Teddy(Dennis Leary).The family is reunited in the home town of their late mother/wife and the trouble begins... I thought the ending could have been better but all in all an okay film. Dennis Leary was his pleasant opinionated self which I enjoyed, the plot lacked a certain something, some past information about the family would have been nice or maybe a little more detail into what had happened to their mother/wife. I would recommend waiting for this film to come on television instead of rushing to the theatre to see it.
