Sometime in the 1970s, a number of travellers become stranded at a remote rest stop in Arizona due to a fuel shortage. Among them are two bank robbers on the run who take the others hostage. Francis Galluppi's feature debut is a streamlined and cleverly constructed, Western-influenced crime film. It delivers plenty of entertainment but not an iota of originality. It is as if Quentin Tarantino and the Coen brothers got together in the 1990s to hammer out this script.
