| 1:58 | Needs more Google Maps. |
| 3:46 | This is all very Phone Booth. |
| 5:59 | The air freshener is significant? |
| 7:47 | Is Road Aid an actual thing? |
| 10:25 | I wonder what her online resources are. Definitely not Google. |
| 11:29 | Litterbug! Just cos you’re in the middle of the desert, that’s no excuse. |
| 12:06 | He does know that driving faster doesn’t save fuel, right? |
| 13:30 | Yay for being picked up on the litterbug thing. |
| 16:36 | Oooh, he’s one of the robbers! No wonder he was worried about the policeman. |
| 19:33 | It looks like he has a lot of make up on. |
| 21:31 | He’s definitely told his wife too much. |
| 25:45 | He talks too much. Archer could have been listening. |
| 27:28 | Woah. See what I said? Archer was listening. |
| 30:50 | That’s a good point, he couldn’t tell him where he is even if he wanted to. |
| 31:48 | If that was my phone, it would have run out of battery by now. |
| 35:45 | Do people really keep keys in their cars? Even in the middle of the desert, I still wouldn’t. |
| 37:20 | How does he do that? The cop keeps getting in front and then passing him again. |
| 40:05 | Interesting how the truck had everything he needed, i.e. binoculars. |
| 45:29 | I don’t know whether to feel sorry for him or not. |
| 48:50 | Hey, wait a minute. How did he get the truck going again? |
| 49:37 | I don’t like people that write all over their maps. |
| 51:19 | He’s been there before. He needs Judy again. Or Google Maps. |
| 54:11 | Where do I recognise the trooper from? (IMDB says nowhere.) |
| 57:22 | Those look like pretty treacherous driving conditions, even on straight roads. |
| 59:40 | Does she have her internet resources at her brother’s house too? |
| 1:01:29 | Does everyone have a favourite colour? |
| 1:04:14 | He can’t possibly remember the directions after all that chatting. I certainly don’t. |
| 1:08:02 | He should turn into Superman right about now. That would solve everything. |
| 1:10:04 | That’s ever so slightly Back to the Future. |
| 1:19:43 | Nice little tip at the end. Duly noted. |
Thoughts
This film popped up on iPlayer and yes, I’ll admit it, I only watched it because it was called Lost, and wasn’t there a TV show called that as well?
I was also a bit tempted to see how well Superman fared without Lois.
This was actually a good film. It was slow paced but intriguing, and the suspense gradually built until the end. Even though it was actually quite obvious, I didn’t get the twist until it happened. Dean Cain was pretty good, considering he had to hold the screen for essentially the whole film. I was happily surprised.
Rating: 4 / 5
