Clean-cut yuppie Jeff Taylor (Kurt Russell) and his Bennetton-wardrobed spouse Amy (Kathleen Quinlan) are driving cross-country in their shiny red Jeep Cherokee.
They break down somewhere out in John Ford country. A helpful trucker (J.T. Walsh) gives the lady a lift to a nearby telephone … and she doesn’t come back.
At first Jeff thinks they just got their wires crossed. But he soon realizes he’s in the midst of an elaborate kidnapping plot: rednecks with rifles come out of the barren badlands, cellphone reception is nonexistent and no one, it seems, can be trusted. Director Jonathan Mostow—later to helm Terminator 3—keeps us on edge throughout this taut thriller, which builds to a spectacularly destructive, and literally cliffhanging, finale. Russell is pitch-perfect as the everyman forced by circumstance to go from meek to mercenary. But the film belongs to the late, great Walsh, who gives a master class in villainy as the chillingly subdued lead kidnapper.
Director: Jonathan Mostow. 93mins. 1997. 35mm.
Presented by Keith Uhlich, film critic for Time Out New York and editor of The House Next Door, the official blog of Slant Magazine.
