96 minutes (2012)
Written and directed
by Aimee Lagos this film stars Brittany Snow, Evan Ross, Christian
Serratos and J. Michael Trautmann. Two female college students are
carjacked by two male high school students.
The plot of this film
is a fairly standard thriller that looks at crime, race and poverty
in the US but without ever really offering any insight or answers.
Where the script falls down is using a non-linear structure as this
cuts all the tension out of the film, by the time we know the
characters enough to care what is happening far too much of the film
has passed. Other than the poor choice of structure the film is
fairly well made with decent direction and performances.
2/5
