Review of Scenic Route (2013) by Leon B — 28 Jun 2014

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.
