Review
The roadtrip gonewrong buddy movie starts with a slow burn biting often hilarious dialog introduces us to two old friends who's benign friction escalates as their predicament gets worse.
The performances are engaging and absorbingmasterfully done as most of the movie rests on these two characters versus the elements (as well as the two actors versus difficult shooting conditions according to the Qɪ after the premiere I saw at SXSW).
For an indie thriller "Scenic Route" doesn't show any low budget limitations the cinematography in Death Valley is breathtaking and unforgiving yet still haunting and beautiful.
Once the film grabs you it doesn't let go. The movie the imagery stays with you long after you leave the theater.
