Wordiezett So much average
Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
Josephina Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
derekthomas-67712 In the scene where the deputy stopped to help Christian, you could hear over the police radio, "suspect Mallory height, weight"...etc. Suspect in what? Did I miss something?
fairlesssam This is one of the most ridiculous films I have had the misfortune to watch. It is so predictable, you can talk your way through the movie right from the start. Your brain is always three steps ahead. Mallory is driving to Denver for a wedding rehearsal. There is an air of unhappiness as her fiancé is putting work in front of their honeymoon plans. Mallory seems disillusioned with her future. Her car breaks down and out of nowhere comes the handsome and charming Christian who fixes her car. Mallory offers Christian a lift (after initially thinking it best not to). She also chooses to not join back on to the freeway and continues on with Christian. After she misses the turning for the freeway Christian's tone in conversation turns to that of an explicit sexual nature. Mallory tells him to get out of the car which Christian refuses and basically threatens Mallory. Mallory takes the drastic action of crashing the car and ends up with her leg trapped and unable to get out. Christian however, even though he was thrown from the car and did not have a seat belt on comes out of it much better than she does and literally walks away.She is then basically stuck in the car behaving like a pathetic whinging child as he comes and goes for around five days. The story is frustratingly predictable and as unrealistic as it gets (in my opinion). She pees once in these five days, does very little to try to escapes yet manages to kill and cut up a rat and roast it on a fire. She also somehow manages to pee in a bottle and drink it even though she has had water.It just goes on and on.My one positive is the acting skills of Teddy Sears, he's excellent in the role of a psycho baddie. Otherwise this movie is just pointless drivel.
TdSmth5 A girl named Mallory drives from California to Oregon for her wedding. Somewhere in the desert the fiancée's old car she's driving brakes down. As luck would have it a hiker appears who gets her car started again, after he takes his shirt off for no good reason. She offers him a ride and insists on dropping him off at a cabin were he's staying. Out of the blue he starts telling her offensive sexual stuff. She stops and asks him to get off her car. He pulls out a knife and keep driving. He's not wearing his seat belt so she figures she can get out of this by driving the car off the road and down a cliff.The car ends up upside down and her foot stuck in the instrument panel. They guy was ejected but eventually gets up uninjured and just leaves her there after realizing her terrible situation. He comes back a couple of times to taunt her. He brings food and drinks that he consumes in front of her without sharing. Then he brings a bag of tools with a nailgun to threaten her and leaves her with a saw in case she wants to get out.I think she spends 3 night in the car with a lighter and a bottle of water. Fortunately it rains so she gets some more water but at some point she gets hungry. All there is nearby...rats. Finally the rain gets really bad and the river moves the car. That allows her to free herself.Meanwhile the guy manages to kidnap a cop and take him to the cabin that he's taken over. Mallory limps to the very same cabin, discovers what's going on there and will have to confront the bad guy eventually.Curve is one of those very minimalistic thrillers--two actors and most of the movie taking place in just one setting. And even though acting isn't Julianne Hough's talent, the movie works. It's well directed and looks good. They even added some depth to the script as when the stranger muses about all the factors that had to come together for these two to meet. The unfortunate lesson the movie wants to teach though is don't be good to strangers. The guy's motivation seems to be to get back at those who help him. He offered her many chances to let him go, but she insisted and now he can't but make her suffer for it. Not a good message for society where trust is hard to come by already.
Claudio Carvalho Mallory Rutledge (Julianne Hough) is driving her fiancé's truck to Denver to meet him and get married. While driving in the lonely road, she talks to her sister Ella and decides to take a detour to visit the Grand Canyon. Out of the blue, the truck stops and Mallory can get no service in her cell phone. However the gentle drifter Christian Laughton (Teddy Sears) offers to fix the car and Mallory accepts. Then she offers a ride to him and when she is driving, he says pornography to her. She asks him to leave but he shows a knife and tells her to go to a derelict motel. Mallory sees that the psychopath Christian is not wearing the seat bell and decides to throw the truck off the road in a curve. But the leg of Mallory is trapped in the overturned car and Christian leaves her without any help, in the beginning of Mallory's worst nightmare. Will she escape from the vehicle and from the psychopath? "Curve" is a tense low-budget thriller with good performances of Teddy Sears and Julianne Hough. However, the promising beginning and development are wasted with a conventional and commercial conclusion. Mallory is wounded and starving after many days trapped in the truck and her decision of helping Katie is absolutely unbelievable. Further, she has a gun pointed to a psychopath and asks him to not move after days of torture. Anyone would have shot the psychopath and then ask him to not move. My vote is six.Title (Brazil): Not Available on DVD or Blu-ray
