Well Where do we start with this one??Irresponsible wife takes a road trip across the desert with a small child in back seat.Yes really.The car is the safest car available,Futuristic/unbreakable/bulletproof/foolproof/drives itself etc. Well off she goes in it and the kid in tow.She doesn't get the technology of it so when computer tells her to take a short cut cos of an accident ahead she goes down a dirt track,and guess what there aren't any signs and its dark.Kid plays with his Bluetooth device and hey presto!!! He;s locked in Thats the concept of story!!!What happens from now on is the most unintelligent rubbish possibly to ever hit the screens YES THAT BAD.Sorry but the truth needs to be told.If you watch it believe me YOU WILL WANT TO REVIEW IT!!!You will feel that need!!!
Everything is armored and automatic, is that safe, or rather a recipe for disaster? Well, find out when a suspective wife takes a completely unnecessary trip through LA desert. Surprisingly it is not unwatchable, and does keep the suspense going throughout the movie, however a few things really keeps it in the lower bracket of entertainment:
First - child is crying all the time, alarms are beeping, woman is shouting, it is just pathetic and unpleasant in a way that it does not advance the movie anywhere.
Second - the main character, Sandra, has every negative trait in the book, she is jealous, irresponsible, clingy, weak (physically and mentally), bad decision maker etc etc. You just want to throw something at the screen due to her stupid actions. At least she is a cute singer...
Third - for the life of me I could not understand why she took her child with her and not left him with her mother-in-law, even if she did decide to drive to LA, what was she hoping to do there with the child?
I think overall rank is somewhere between 4 and a 5, I decided to be generous and give it a 5 due to being at least interesting for the most part. Watch if are planing to buy a Cybertruck :-) Exact score: 45 / 100.

Not sure why the negatives. The acting is decent. Effects on the car are cool. Shrug, movie was OK for me. Solid 5 out of 10. I have watched far worse.
The technology is not enough with who does not have enough brain to function. That's the massage.... In this movie....
For a certain situation to happen, a lot of things have to go sideways. And you have to understand that it doesn't have to be logical, it just has to bring us where we end up. So the main character going there, is terrible, but to some extend acceptable. What is unacceptable though, is her behavior with a kid in the car.
Which is one of the points leading to a certain situation. But really there is no love lost for someone like that. It's tough to root for someone or feel for someone like that. Then again it's all about the kid isn't it? Yes and you could also argue, it's just a movie. And that's where it loses me or my interest. So the tension is almost completely gone, maybe if you accept certain things, you'll be on the edge of your seat. But I do doubt it very much
