Collision (2013)

A couple on their honeymoon in Morocco survive a deadly car accident in the middle of the desert. Intersections (2013) is one of those films that i totally did not expect to be that damn good, i mean i just finished watching the film on TV and it blown my mind. The movie has some clever twists in it's pocket and some of them were very unexpected and were introduced to us in a really good timing and every character after a while is not that much of a saint as you might actually thought. The acting is really good and Frank Grillo, Jaimie Alexander, Roschdy Zem and the rest of the Cast does a pretty good job. Overall this is a well crafted, directed and produced thriller with some really great twists and turns and a really talented cast. (A+)

OK it is not a terrible movie and watchable to some level but definitely not a nice movie...Frank Grillo as Scot and Roschdy Zem as Saleh are the performances worth watching not because they are acting award winners but because the others are not acting good.As the story goes everybody connecting to each other somehow is not a good idea so I don't understand why people praise this movie for this...Actually it makes the movie predictable and ''one of those movies''..My conclusion is watch this movie only if you don't have another movie to watch..By the way I watched this movie under the name '' Intersections'' but when I came to IMDb to read the reviews about it then I found out it has another name ''Collision''..

I did not expect much from this film, but I received a lot. I really do not think this film should of been rated the way it was so low rated.First of all it has all the good scenery film of this type needs to have. I do not know is it possible to make another film in Marocco again like this, because of the political trouble there. I am glad we got to see all the good scenery which was so well depicted in this film.Plot is very dynamic and interesting with a lot of twists and turns this type of film needs to have. I really liked those changes and twists and turns.Acting was very good, actors tried their best.All in all I recommend that you see this film.

At the beginning a newlywed couple from New York City, Scot and Taylor Dolan, seemingly deeply in love with each other, both arrive by helicopter (excuse me) at a super luxurious remote desert resort in Morocco. Scot is about 50 and one of those men who seem shabbily dressed and unshaven regardless of their expensive clothes, but his gorgeous young wife Taylor around 30 is very stylish, sexy and beautiful, looking more like a rich parisienne than a fashionable female New Yorker. After 15 minutes and an erotic love scene it become rapidly obvious that all is not well with the relationship, apart from the sex; even in bed Scot crassly informs Taylor that she came five times, not very romantic. Taylor goes outside to the pool to meet a young man called Travis they conspire to kill Scot. A desert excursion provides an excellent opportunity for Taylor and Travis to realise their plan. The next segment of the movie begins with a striking aerial view of the Toyota SUV racing down a straight and very empty well-kept highway. Shortly after Scot turns off the highway onto a dirt road. that can only be followed by the tire marks of previous vehicles. Then a car driven by Travis leaves the highway and crosses the desert to pursue them. Travis seems to be trying his best to kill Scot by sideswiping him. The 'duel' ends when both SUVs jump a series of high dunes and literally fly into a cluster of vehicles and local Arabs halted on the dirt road in front of them. This is the beginning of the longest and most crucial segment of the movie.A decrepit local bus heavily overburdened with passengers, chickens and cargo has stopped, probably because of a flat tire while several cars and a bunch of Arabs are gathered around it. First the pursued Toyota ploughs into the bus and a parked and occupied car slaughtering several Moroccans in the process. Travis in hot pursuit knocks over several local and in trying to avoid them he abruptly turns the steering wheel whereupon his vehicle rolls over.As a result of these accidents there are bloodied bodies everywhere. One of the survivors, the driver of the car, is critically injured by the impact with the shaft of his steering wheel fully penetrating his belly. With futile efforts he is trying to pull the shaft out of his body. An Arabic looking young woman with a headscarf is holding a baby in the back of the injured driver's car and is screaming in French for help. She and the infant are unharmed but trapped inside the car. The lover is also trapped in his vehicle but either dead or unconscious. Scot and Taylor, who are unhurt, manage to remove his body. They determine that Travis is still alive.Meanwhile, unseen, Omar a rough looking Moroccan, stumbles from the wreck of the bus wearing handcuffs. Another local man, is badly injured as the bus has fallen on top of him and only the top half of his body appears. Omar strangles the dying man with his chains, finds the key and some other objects on him and unlocks the handcuffs. All this is unnoticed by any of the others The Arabic looking women at the back of the car holding the screaming baby turnouts to be French. Omar frees Audrey, the French woman. She removes her scarf and her long blonde hair falls to her shoulders. Audrey begins efforts to free the driver but to no avail. Omar tosses a lighted cigarette toward a gas leak from the car which soon catches fire and the driver begins to scream. Audrey and Scot attempt to douse the fire with bottles of water but Omar object saying they need the water for drinking. He takes an iron rod and smashes the driver's skull; supposedly to stop him suffering but Omar obviously has some ulterior motive in killing him. Meanwhile, Taylor is looking after the baby rather awkwardly (hardy her Fifth Avenue Manhattan style) and wants to pass it back to Audrey who claims 'it's not my baby'! Shortly after another Moroccan character Saleh sporting a woollen tuque and leather jacket arrives at the scene of the accident from behind a few rocks where he has been hiding. Now the complement of the six main characters is complete and during the rest of the movie we slowly discover the connections between them and their various murky motives which include murder, greed, kidnapping and revenge, eventually explaining why they have all arrived at the same remote desert spot. Some of the main characters never make it past the scene of the accident and the old fort nearby in the desert where they spend their last night; the rest manage to get as far as Tangiers but at the end only three have survived. Two of the survivors succeed in their original plans, mostly because they were better planners than their adversaries and anticipated their moves. The third person, shortly after arrival in Tangiers, is arrested by the police to be imprisoned in a Moroccan jail for the rest of their life for the serious crime they committed. Final Advice: When you decide to watch this movie make sure you have no distractions, disconnect your phones and the doorbell otherwise you might miss vital clues.
