This is the worst movie I have ever seen


I have seen a lot of movies, and a lot of really bad movies, but this is by far the worst. I thought the concept was interesting and the trailer was okay, so I found the film online and gave it a look.

For one, Sam and Nate are the single two most annoying movie characters ever, although Sam was infinitely more annoying. She's a shrill moron who instantaneously turns from some dork trying to film a reality TV show into a hell bent vigilante. Nate is a whiny bitch who concedes to her every command even though HE'S DRIVING HIS OWN CAR. Given that there was absolutely no character buildup at all, theres no reason for us to identify with any of this. The poorness of the acting doesn't help the situation.

Secondly, the stupidity on display here is second to none. Of course, any police department that puts a *beep* amber alert up on the highway would IMMEDIATELY respond to a call saying that someone has spotted the car, and even more so when they call and say they found the guys friggen house. Even if you want to let that major contrivance go and just concede that the police in Phoenix are wholly incompetent, that doesn't quite match the stupidity of the two main characters. Who in their right mind would so aggressively tail a probable kidnapper? What are you going to do when you catch him? Beat him unconscious and wait for the cops? And then of course the grand finale where they break INTO THE HOUSE and end up getting themselves killed. I did not generate any sympathy for them because they literally walked right into their own death.

You have two unbearable characters, a wholly incompetent police force, a bad guy straight from the Stock Bad Guy Portfolio (seems charming, normal, but oh my god look hes such a monster!!) and a little girl locked in a cage. Couple that with terrible acting and a terrible ending and you have approximately 73 minutes of the most unenjoyable dreck ever laid to film. I just felt the need to get this off my chest, thank you for your time.
