Description: In this thriller, a troubled couple whose marriage is not going  well decides to escape the pressures of  St. Louis by going to the wife’s family’s  remote, lakeside getaway house in rural Missouri.  The wife, beautiful Charlie (Bell), drinks too much.   Her  husband, Andrew, is an architect who is having difficulty getting jobs but does not want to be dependent on Charlie’s very rich, successful father.  As they are getting near the lake, they almost hit a hitchhiker, Jake, whose motorcycle  has run out of gas on a dirt road, so they take him to the house, where there is gas. There is something sinister about Jake, with whom Charlie flirts, which concerns Andrew. After a while, the animosity between Andrew and Jake  intensifies.

Review:
Acting worthy of praise. Clifton Collins Jr especially pleased. And it’s not what it looks like (although I like him very much), but in the emotional plan: the expression, the unpredictability of doing his role is especially interesting. These qualities like are put in contrast to the passive life of the spouses. Jake rushes into their life, carrying with it a change. It is difficult to argue with this: do you have many friends, whom you almost knocked?

The only thing left for me is not understandable is the motive. Why? What is the purpose of the husband did it? What benefits pursued? What is called “far-fetched”. This is one small minus, which did not affect the overall impression of the film, because he looks in one breath. Until the end of the intrigue remains: will result in that it is a new acquaintance? Interchange unexpected, and on the American tradition, at the end we expect… No, this is a review, not to deprive of people of pleasure to enjoy the ignorance.
