When his SUV breaks down on a remote Southwestern road, Jeff Taylor lets his wife, Amy, hitch a ride with a trucker to get help. When she doesn't return, Jeff fixes his SUV and tracks down the trucker -- who tells the police he's never seen Amy. Johnathan Mostow's tense thriller then follows Jeff's desperate search for his wife, which eventually uncovers a small town's murderous secret.

Decent action thriller. Kurt Russell slays as usual.

A tense thriller with a good performance from the always solid Kurt Russell.

Kurt Russell is amazing as always. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time & was invested throughout the entire film.

Slow-moving film is initially intriguing due to the frightening situation faced by Russell. It just never goes anywhere that interesting.

Tense little sleeper. Russell and Walsh are great as usual. Maybe not the ending, but the setup seems very plausible.

Excellent thriller, Hitchcockian in many ways, best scene involves brakes and duct tape, somewhat disappointing climax but worth it still
