Kam Williams EURWeb Shot on the cheap in what appears to be an abandoned ghost town, it looks like the only thing they bothered to budget for was cuss words. Rated: 0/4 May 14, 2007 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Ok movie, the story dragged on and didn’t pick up till very late in the movie!!! If there was another plot twist I think that would have made the movie better!!! Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/16/19 Full Review Audience Member This movie made me so angry I just had to keep watching. First of all I wanted to smack Terrence Howard's character upside his head. Serious anger management issues and possessiveness going on here. Why was Nicole Parker even with him? None of it made sense and the actions of the characters were ridiculous. Not recommended! Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/11/23 Full Review Audience Member What did Byron expect with his bad attitude & hanging out with a nutjob? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member This movie was crazy! Once again, Terrance plays another character who is not a bad guy. He's just angry all the time. Why didn't Nicole's character leave that boring town for LA as soon as she could? Did Terrance's character die at the end of the movie? We never knew! How many people who are moderately mentally retarded can actually drive a truck? Why didn't that crazy psychopath guy who killed his father because he did a bad job repairing his mother's car just stop instead of trying to kill more people. I understand that his mother died in an accident from a bad brake job. This movie will have anyone hollering at the screen because the plot was just that bad. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member A mish-mash of emotion that does not add up to any emotional truth.
