ronald h 04/28/2021 _Rushlights_ is a clumsy, sophomoric attempt at film noir that fails miserably, due to an amateurish script, one-dimensional characters, and insipid dialogue. An overbearing score just makes things worse. Two young people hook up in Los Angeles. Before we even get a chance to learn anything abut their relationship, they're on the run because the girl's roommate has OD'd on drugs. Why didn't they call the cops? It's not explained. Hiding out in a motel, they find that the girl has mistakenly taken her roommate's bag (a ridiculous coincidence that's nothing more than a plot device). In it, they find a letter from a Texas attorney, telling the roommate that she has inherited a fortune from her estranged uncle. In her wallet is her driver's license, and conveniently, she practically looks like identical to the girl (another absurd coincidence, within 15 minutes of the movie's start). The plan? Go to the Texas town, and the girl will impersonate her roommate and collect the inheritance. Once they get there, everything goes wrong, but it's all so silly, I'm not bothering to go into detail. I suppose this plot could have worked in the hands of a skilled filmmaker, but the whole thing plays like it written by a 12 year old. That's how bad it is. See more 11/25/2019 Loved it! So many twists & turns that kept you guessing. It could have a better ending but definitely worth watching!

See more 11/24/2014 Rushlights is a solid suspense drama with a lot of twists and turns... Haley Webb does a great job as Sarah, Quinn and Bridges are terrific..if you get a chance to catch this film I recommend you watch it... See more 11/03/2014 Boy meets girl. Boy falls in love with girl. Boy finds out girl has dead room mate that looks exactly like her. Boy cooks up scheme to have girl pose as dead room mate to collect a big inheritance and split it with boy. Things do not go as boy planned. A decent set up for a seriously undercooked noir thriller. The film drags so much in the middle section that you won't be able to work up the energy to care about the absurdly twisty climax. Beau Bridges and Aidan Quinn appear to collect pay cheques.
