90 minutes I will not get back.


not the worst movie I've ever seen, but pretty mediocre.

also, why does every 'good' character follow the most illogical course of action

available to them?

e.g. stopping in middle of road to discuss things (so sherrif numbnuts can get

himself killed) instead of driving to authorities??

I thought the first 20 or 30 minutes were quite interesting.

After that, it was just down hill and fast.

The last scene sealed it for me. She escapes death how many times, but yet she wants to drive the car through a gas station.

Blah blah.

After everyone is dead, she walks inside and yet again wants to defy death by trying to light a cigarette while covered head to toe in gasoline.

Lots of dumb *beep* happened in that movie. Thankfully Encore Mystery gave me the opportunity to watch it.

my thoughts exactly!

that's how I got suckered into watching the whole thing since the original premise was interesting.

at least you're not out $7.00 or so for the price of a movie ticket.

I agree with you, every movie has its flaws. No one expects perfection, but this is the site that everyone uses to express their thoughts, be they rants or praise.


Glad to see there is some conversation about a very random 10 year old movie. It must be hitting its rounds on the tv networks. Movie does have an interesting cast for sure, lots of people you will recognize but you don't know exactly what from till you IMDB them.


Was this movie ever in theaters, or was it direct to dvd?

Didn't you realize she didn't care about life anymore?

Psst--you weren't going to get those 90 minutes back even if you loved the movie. "I'll never get that (measurement of time) back" has to be one of the most moronic expressions repeated by idiots today; and because there is no shortage of idiots, it's probably not going to go out of vogue for a while. But thanks for letting everyone know which side you fall on!

It's below mediocre and yes there's alot of irrational decisions made in this, which I consider unacceptable.
