“I saw this at SXSW on Friday and I was impressed. I didnu0026#39;t know anything about it and was a little worried when I realized 5 minutes in this was going to be a movie of 2 guys in a desert focused on dialogue rather than action (Itu0026#39;s incredibly difficult to pull off). Duhammel is great though and carries you through the movie. Iu0026#39;ve seen him in other stuff but this is the first time Iu0026#39;ve really seen him stretch himself as an actor and I was really impressed (and I gotta say the mohawk was pretty cool too). The movie manages to put the right amount of tension and character insight throughout to make you feel the characters as people instead of random victims of circumstance. Overall Iu0026#39;d recommend this to others at the very least to see Duhammel push himself as an actor and prove his chops and cause itu0026#39;s an entertaining little picture.”
