kosmasp No the title does not refer to human bodies. Crazy could be another title and it would fit really good. Because let's keep it real, if you know you are watching a thriller, you know that picking up a hitchhiker: never a good idea. Maybe someone should have told our main actress that (actually she knew, because she read the script).But what happens after a very quick revelation (bad guys are not always subtle and the movie knows audience might get bored if they know a character is bad but tries to hold it together), is what matters. The movie gets into another drive. Crushes and bumps along the road (no pun intended) included it's overall a more than decent effort
josephqzaz Do not expect anything surprising out of this movie. It is so full of clichés that the whole movie could be predicted correctly from the first ten minutes. I gave it a 4/10 because it does waste time when you're bored and have nothing else to watch. 3/4 of the movie is the same scene with the girl's leg stuck in a crashed car and the "bad guy" torturing her. There is little character development or reasoning behind the killings of the "bad guy." The only thing you know about the protagonist is that she is going to see her fiancé in Denver, CO coming from San Francisco, LA when, surprisingly enough, her car breaks down. It's not bad but it's kind of boring to watch.
jtncsmistad Not gonna spend a lot of time on this one. "Curve" stars Julianne Hough (TV's "Dancing With The Stars") as a bride-to-be who veers way off track with an unhinged hitchhiker on an ill-advised back road detour to the wedding.Pretty standard fare madman-menaces-beautiful girl (and Hough stays STAGGERINGLY so even after being beat up in an over the cliff car crash) fare with some pretty fair acting from the damsel in DEEP distress. Hough actually does one helluva job here in practically the worst predicament possible. This includes those SERIOUSLY squeamish interludes where a girl does what a girl's gotta do for makeshift nourishment. Eeeeeeewwwwwwww!!! I won't delve into the seemingly standard requisite moments of implausibility in "Curve" as they are readily apparent even if you're only HALF paying attention. I will make mention however that even in this modest movie I expected more from the ending than the cath...no, wait. I won't say it.If you should find the free time and you choose to fill it with this small-scale suspenser, you will then indubitably be able to complete this adjective I have chosen, as a serial sans-spoiler, not to.
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
