Memorable, crazy movie

it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.

It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

I found this film entertaining, mixture of comedy but mainly serious and violent undertones, the unfaithful and ultra devious wife plotting with her vicious lawyer lover. Jack as the lawyer/lover speaks in a very basic way, whereas I think a traditional lawyer would be more refined. I watched the film with my husband and we rated it quite highly. One question I have, how did the 'hillbilly' who was savagely attacked by Jack get to the hospital? Who took him there, or did he get there himself after such severe beatings? The change over from the city guy to a savage surviving the harsh desert conditions was well done, the old battered car was a useful refuge. A pity the sheriff got killed, he was a good and genuine guy.

The story of "Sandtrap" won't be very original to most viewers - it's kind of a cross between "Body Heat" and "The Most Dangerous Game". As well, each of the three characters has been written to come across in an embarrassing way a few times (especially David John James' character when he starts getting delirious), and the characters make some silly actions at times. Still, it looks slick and well-shot, it's never boring, and there are some really good moments - especially the ending, which is very satisfying.

I was very disappointed when I saw this film. It was a big achievement of me to sit through this film and it shows that I have got a lot of perseverance.The film was very predictable and not original at all. You know what is going to happen from the beginning till the end. The acting is terrible. The transfomation of Nelson (David John James) from a city man into a wild man in the desert is the laugh of the film. If this was a comedy it is OK, but it isn't. It is a serious film about a man that is betrayed by his wife and his best friend and who's trying to survive in the desert.I would like to warn everyone to stay away from this film. It can ruin your evening!

SAND TRAP has a predictable storyline, complete with a typical ending, but still remains to be quite entertaining. The interesting thing about this movie is that it makes choosing sides very difficult. Viewers don't know whether to favor the good guy, who is basically an inept, irritating nerd kept in the dark all his life, or the bad guys, a mean-spirited adulterous wife and her brain dead lover. The characters aren't very deep, and none of them are intelligent, but it's still entertaining watching all the criminal hijinks and seeing a bullied nerd getting his revenge as an adult, although his methods are rather juvenile. Elizabeth Morehead shines in her portrayal as the cheating, two-sided wife, as does her criminal lover. I would recommend this movie if you were looking for a laugh or two one night, but don't expect a thrilling movie.
