I viewed this late one night on Sundance Channel and was at first intrigued at the photography. Impressive colors and angles. It held your interest and set the mood of the long long roads in the mid-west that lead to nowhere. But eventually, something has to happen. To this viewer, it didn't. Drew Pillsbury, playing the drifter, out to find something else in his life other than a job and family responsibility, seemed to draw your attention, but then really didn't take you anywhere. Close up after close up of his rugged face with almost the same look on it. "What's happening?" seemed to be the look he had.
Unfortunately he runs into this plain Jane who seems to only have one expression on her face. Hard to describe just what she was trying to convey. Wendy Malick, as Jane, was rather predictable in her performance. A bit over acted at times, this viewer was so glad to see her hit the dirt after shooting an innocent victim attempting to help her fix her car. Only good part of the movie to me. Then it's all down hill from there.
Writers /Directors, David Elton and Thomas Johnston made a good attempt to tell the story, but it could have used some drastic cutting and change of leading lady. I love evil leading ladies, Nicole Kidman in MALICE, but this one didn't have the oomph to me. Sorry.
