danielbethune Must see. Don't listen to bad reviews. 2 guys stuck in the dresser. They truck broke down. Do they get out or do the not. Great movie. Great great great great great movie!!!! I think the acting was great. The story is one I haven't seen and is 10 stars. Definitely not a waste of time here. I don't know what else to write. All I can say is great awesome great awesome great awesome great an awesome movie. I watched in twice in a short period of time.
crisnjohnson It's difficult to explain in words how much of an impression this movie can leave on someone, especially if that someone doesn't think philosophically on a regular basis. This is an absolute must- watch for everyone. It's so raw and real, its portrayal of human emotions and the way we live in modern society and the effects that society has on us, the way we look at situations and other people... not to mention the utterly mind-blowing conclusion. I'd like to think of it as an open thought experiment, poking viewers to think of themselves in a predicament like the one the two main characters find themselves in, how they would act or react, and analyze their own frame of mind and how they look at the world around them. I can't emphasize enough. Watch this movie! It may even change your life.
David Arnold Scenic Route is the story of two best friends, Mitchell and Carter (both excellently portrayed by Josh Duhamel & Dan Fogler respectively)....two guys in their mid-30s who have decided to take a road trip together and use the time as sort of a "male bonding" experience. Unfortunately they end up getting stranded on a remote desert highway, and it's not long before what was supposed to be a trip of self discovery, actually turns in to a fight for survival from not only the elements & being stranded, but also from each other.Now you may think that this doesn't read like an exciting story, but you would be wrong because it's actually much more than just two guys getting stranded. Admittedly the story may seem like a simple one, but it has much more to it and it delivers well by bringing suspense, thrills, and sheer captivation with it. Even the way the movie starts brings it's own surprise because when you watch the opening scene, you actually think you've seen the outcome of the movie. When the time comes, however.....well, you'll just have to watch it to find out for yourself to see what I mean.The pace of the movie is just right and it never becomes boring as there is always something about it to keep you watching. The story develops really nicely as it goes on, right up until it gets to the very thought provoking ending (which will actually stick with you for some time).Scenic Route is definitely one of those wee gems of a movie that comes along once in a while and actually restores your faith that there ARE some great movies out there in amongst what seems to be a sea of mediocre Hollywood big budget remakes, sequels, and spin-offs.Fantastic movie and well worth watching.
kosmasp Obviously the title is not meant entirely serious, but the movie is very serious, even when it has some funny moments. Overalll we get a drama dressed as a thriller and it does a good job, but it does rely entirely on its actors. And the script/dialog of course. There are quite a few scenes, where you wonder about motivation and reactions of the characters (not to mention some very convenient timing).The actors are more than decent, but the ending is what might break or elevate the movie in your opinion. It's multi-layered if you want it to be. Although it could be very clear for many reasons too (which can be taken from pieces of dialog about the wife and her appearance and the cell phone itself). It's not the journey nor the destiny, but the question if you're able to continue once you've stopped
