Mais les choses tournent mal lorsqu'il presse trop vite la gâchette et abat un vieil ermite. Afin de s'assurer de son silence, il abandonne le jeune pisteur en plein désert sans eau et sans vêtement et le regarde mourir à distance depuis la lunette de son fusil... (Metropolitan FilmExport)

An enjoyable survival film with two likeable actors. Michael Douglas as the bad guy enjoys the role perfectly and it suits him (more roles like this!). The plot is more or less simple, but that absolutely doesn't matter, because the film manages to grab your attention with other attributes, such as the harsh desert landscape and decent atmosphere. For my taste, the film is not very violent and there could have been more flourishes, which I consider the only major downside. Surprising finale. 65%.

Les magnifiques déserts de Nouveau-Mexique, le méchant sophistiqué Michael Douglas avec sa Mercedes G63 6x6, impressionnant, et le jeune Jeremy Irvine, avec sa petite tête d'acteur de série, dans le rôle de l'auto-stoppeur du désert, vous ne le croirez pas. Le film est une sorte de jeu du chat et de la souris très divertissant, mais à la fin, il s'effondre avec des absurdités de série B bon marché.

Michael Douglas as we like him best, a smarmy, self-centered millionaire financier. Only that, instead of Gwyneth Paltrow, this time he has a no less charming big-ass Mercedes, but otherwise this attempt at genre survival is rather a train wreck. Jeremy Irvine's character is often odd – or rather, his actions are severely illogical, and there are more scenes that occasionally fail to make sense than the classic viewer expecting an entertaining game of cat and mouse would be willing to forgive.

Michael Douglas really enjoys this negative role, and I enjoyed his performance and the whole story. It's nothing groundbreaking, it's straightforward and clear, but now and then you can really feel the suffering the other character is going through. Suffering that seems like it may never end. But in the end, it does end, and it's in that expected and rightful spirit.
