Matrixston Wow! Such a good movie.

Infamousta brilliant actors, brilliant editing

ChicDragon It's a mild crowd pleaser for people who are exhausted by blockbusters.

filippaberry84 I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

ggreenidge Well let me tell you something about my experience with traveling on a long desert road to nowhere. It never really happen cause I'm so couscous that the car is going to break down or I wont have enough water for the long haul. but rest assured I'm really Not that stupid to let that happen am i. but these two clowns did just that.. even though I Seriously Love this movie it was a stretch for me the silly happening of this. but don't be despair its bloody Funny as hell. an I got to say Josh Duhamel was so so good I never laugh so much before but it was a laugh of despair because of their predicament. And what they put themselves in from the very outset. you need water on a long trip man. it's a given no matter how you look at it. this movie Rocks get it.

thesar-2 Sometimes I love independent films, especially about disaster/breakdown scenarios. Scenic Route is just that and though a tad far-fetched, it might actually happen this way.And…I did like it, despite my doubts.Josh Duhamel, whom I will always cherish from the TV series Las Vegas over the horrible Transformers "Go-bots" films, did okay here and was definitely over-shined by his costar/buddy, Dan Fogler.Allow me to back up. Two lifelong, albeit drifting apart, friends plan a road trip that inadvertently gets them stuck in the plains. The dominate one, Fogler's Carter, ignores passerbyers' help in lieu of conversation with his life mate, Mitchell (Duhamel.)Eventually, the heat of the day, cool of the night and the delirium of the situation gets the two boys down. How would you get out of the desert once your car breaks down and there are few passengers on the lonely and isolated "short cut" of road you choose?At less than an hour and a half, with little new to bring to the table, you could do worse. But, I believe these two guys brought their heart and soul to these roles and absolutely showed what would happen if a desperate friend needed his life-partner this bad.Interested in how I described this? Absolutely see this. 82 minutes – seriously, what else were you planning for tonight?* * * Final thoughts: THE ENDING. Like a lot of independent "SHOCKING" endings, I loved this one. Where these two end up is surprising, and it does make you relish in the film you have seen. I did like the movie up to the ending, and I believe this sealed the deal.

alanperlmanphd One of the best two-man shows I've ever seen. I agree with the reviewer who said that abandoning the vehicle was a terrible mistake (causing the men to miss TWO rescue opportunities) and that you can take various conclusions away from the ending. The cell phone rings, (as the other reviewer said) probably a hallucination, and it appears that they're rescued and go on to live the idyllic lives they always wanted. Even the lighting sends that message.So what was the meaning of the last 10 min.? Was the director showing us some sort of a posthumous brain-imagining? And if so, how do the men have a conversation in this dreamlike state? This was a 5* movie without the ambiguous ending. Missing the rescue opportunities would have been enough irony, and if they'd just died (actual rescue would have been too Hollywood), the movie would have been equally satisfying.

oliver_187 I had this movie at home for quite some time. I didn't have much expectations since I knew Josh Dushamel only from Transformers. Liked him there as well, but I didn't know any other movies. So finally I watched Scenic Route and it was a big surprise. Gladly I didn't read any reviews before, but this movie blew my mind. Nothing for action junkies, since most of the stuff in here is just about dialogues..but the dialogues are really great. The tension that comes up between those two guys is amazing. I was laughing a lot, really loved the dark humor in here. When it came to the end and they were "rescued" I thought to myself "this movie was good but the ending is a little disappointing." But surprise, the rescuing was only imagination and everything was perfect again with this movie. Really really refreshing and great actors' performances!
