Artivels Undescribable Perfection

Ensofter Overrated and overhyped

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Raymond Sierra The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

crisnjohnson It's difficult to explain in words how much of an impression this movie can leave on someone, especially if that someone doesn't think philosophically on a regular basis. This is an absolute must- watch for everyone. It's so raw and real, its portrayal of human emotions and the way we live in modern society and the effects that society has on us, the way we look at situations and other people... not to mention the utterly mind-blowing conclusion. I'd like to think of it as an open thought experiment, poking viewers to think of themselves in a predicament like the one the two main characters find themselves in, how they would act or react, and analyze their own frame of mind and how they look at the world around them. I can't emphasize enough. Watch this movie! It may even change your life.

leonblackwood Review: This is a crazy movie about 2 buddies who get stranded in the desert after there car breaks down. There relationship is questioned after they start telling each other the truth about how they really feel about each other. In some ways, the movie does have some depth, but the arguments between each other are a bit ridiculous when you think about what situation they are in. The ending was a bit strange, but in all, it's a watchable movie that would have been much better if it was taken seriously. The performances were OK, but I think that it would have been better if the guy without the crutches was played by someone else. In all, it's an average movie that you will end up sticking with, just to see what happens to the stranded buddies.Round-Up: Josh Duhamel, who became popular after his role in the Transformer franchise, was a great choice for his role, especially the ending which added a mysterious twist. Dan Fogler usually stars in more comedic roles which was why I didn't think that he was the right choice for his role. That's not to say that he put in a bad performance, but he did become a bit annoying after a while. The attention to detail wasn't that great, but there were a couple of moments which were well written and thought out. I recommend this movie to people who are into there buddy movies about 2 best friends who are stranded in the desert after there car breaks down. 4/10

tailing 2ideas The synopsis reads: The relationship between two old friends is tested as they are stranded in the desert. As candid as that! IMDb rating had 6.2 but what drew me to the movie was the Mohawk guy whose nose is stained with dried blood and who seems to be out of his mind.Two friends set out on a road trip; one – played by Josh Duhamel – is a blue-collar worker and the other – Dan Fogler – an aspiring writer. The second character, Carter, stages a car breakdown in the middle of the desert and makes Mitchell, the first one, seethe with anger. With no network and waiting for the next vehicle, they managed to climb up a nearby hill for catching the mobile service and this is where their conversation took off. Carter accuses Mitchell of forgetting friends, family and his passion and Mitchell tries to drive senses into Carter that his writings aren't clicking with readers.The dialogues are so carefully scripted that you'd wonder who's the real loser between the two. Both are so convincing with their honest point of view of their lives and there's nothing right or wrong about it but had to do with one's conviction.I can unabashedly tell you that though both of them were too eloquent in the forsaken place to be that expressive, I really like it when Carter tries to remind Mitchell about a conversation so delightful on a cross- country trip that they drove 100 miles out of the way. Mitchell says neither one of them could remember what it was. So Carter reminds him that: It might have… Might have been when you claimed that art can reach a point where its quality became fact rather than opinion. Mitchell retorts: It sounds like a couple of hours in my life I would like to have it back.There's another gem. Mitchell goes on when Carter asks about his job: There's this motivational poster in my office; that is like eagle soaring out of the sky and s**t. I'll spend some days just staring at it, trying to decide whether or not I'm more suicidal or homicidal that day.There's this series of hypothetical conversations that if somebody really tries to overhear somewhere in between he'll have no idea what the f**k they're talking about. Responsibilities as bunch of keys or Care Bear's name for a pet. I like the idea of the dialogues being so haphazardly knitted like between two old friends. This is only a little part of the movie. I've left out the plots.

Film Watchin Fool Why You Might Like It: The acting is pretty solid by Duhamel and Fogler and the deserted areas where the movie is filmed also do a great job of setting the stage. If you enjoy films about survival, this movie is worth a watch for you. The ending also offers plenty to think about, so if you enjoy that type of thing you should see it.Why You Might Not Like It: To me, this is a very average survival film and it is primarily dialogue driven. Therefore there isn't a ton of action and the movie has many notable slow spots. You could also argue that there is various unrealistic points in the film.Acting/Casting: 6* Directing/Cinematography/Technical: 5.5*Plot/Characters: 5.5* Entertainment Value: 5* Total - 6+5.5+5.5+5 = 22/4 = 5.5* - Worth watching on TV
