Surprisingly decent zero-budget indie drama that starts like it’s going to be a crap thriller but slowly and smoothly transitions to something quieter and more thoughtful. Three friends’ relationships with each other and their respective loved ones fall apart after someone dumps a body in their car’s trunk while camped in the backcountry and they decide they can’t call the police because the car’s owner is an ex-con.
It’s a small, relatively quiet movie, and it does have a glaring logical flaw and admittedly tough suspensions of disbelieve (how long can you keep a body around in Los Angeles without anybody noticing a smell?), but, it’s a hair different, not really something I’ve seen before, and though some of the acting is bad it’s a serious effort that doesn’t reach for more than it can accomplish and only seems to get stronger as it goes on, which is a refreshing break from the ordinary for a zero-budget picture full of no-name actors.
