A kidnapped young woman - the daughter of a drug cartel kingpin - is forced on a road trip full of murder and mayhem that takes place entirely in her captor's getaway van. And everyone in the car knows that they are on a highway to hell. Hoping to score a hefty ransom for the safe return of his daughter, three amateur thugs kidnap Emma Rodriguez from the home of her father, drug kingpin Carlos Rodriguez, and force her to record a video of herself pleading for her life. But what they don't know is that Emma is all but estranged from her notorious father, and the murderous blood that made Carlos a name to fear in the underworld also runs through her veins. As time ticks away and the unlucky threesome find themselves in more and more danger in the form of the police, crime bosses, and Carlos himself, they must find a way to keep their once-perfect plan in order before all hell breaks loose.

VANish is simply a straightforward B-movie that tries to shock a bit with its revelations at the end, but it's nothing overly surprising. Just a rather unpleasant construct. Still, you can have fun with the film if this mindless entertainment means anything to you. Another big plus of the film is the fact that it doesn't last too long, a nice hour and a quarter. Plus, you'll feel like there's always something going on.

If a B-list movie is good, it’s a great pleasure to watch it, or at least in my experience. For instance, this film starts out as a pretty decent B-list action quickie full of American rednecks, their stupid bullshit and wacky editing akin to that in Grindhouse. The only nice thing about this film is the kidnapped chick, whose eyes are the same color as her T-shirt, which you can’t fail to notice. However, in terms of the plot, get ready for two pretty big twists that would definitely kill a horse and for a single scene involving Machete, who if he wasn’t in this movie, nothing much would have happened, and on top of that it would have saved the budget of an already cheap film.
