Review of Dark Country (2009) by Patrick C — 28 Oct 2009
"At the End of the Road... The Nightmare Begins".
A couple en route from Las Vegas are forced to deal with a body out in the desert making their honeymoon one hellish ride.
REVIEW.
Thomas Jane directs a film that shows more promise than actual success. Its a Noirish tale about a honeymooning couple who who accidentally run over a man staggering in the desert, stop to help him only to have everything go horribly wrong when the man turns on them. From that point on it's a descent into hell as things get complicated on every level.
Give Thomas Jane points for making a good looking film. Give him a few more for getting some really good performances from all the actors. Unfortunately he looses a few for making an often tedious film. The pace of the film is often so slow that the film would cause you to nod off if you didn't want to know what happens. I don't know if the conclusion was worth the ride, but it kept me watching. That's about all I can say.
Worth a look, but I'd wait for cable.
