Scenic Route (2013)

Obviously the title is not meant entirely serious, but the movie is very serious, even when it has some funny moments. Overalll we get a drama dressed as a thriller and it does a good job, but it does rely entirely on its actors. And the script/dialog of course. There are quite a few scenes, where you wonder about motivation and reactions of the characters (not to mention some very convenient timing).The actors are more than decent, but the ending is what might break or elevate the movie in your opinion. It's multi-layered if you want it to be. Although it could be very clear for many reasons too (which can be taken from pieces of dialog about the wife and her appearance and the cell phone itself). It's not the journey nor the destiny, but the question if you're able to continue once you've stopped

Scenic route: What happen when some one told u about things u would not prefer to know about you, u might panic when people talk to you about those moments. This movie is all about friends and family when i said friends it's about best friends who know everything about you (all stuffs u really not want to discuss or i can say u keep hiding from Ur self ) you know Ur best friends knows every thing happening or happened in Ur life and when someday they discussed that here started the big fights . This movie is all about that 2 best buddies in 30's went for a scenic route start talking then arguments about how other person changed with time ...then reality check for each other ...they start telling each other things which individual not wanna know and it turns in to fight and most imp they were stuck in a desert . Well written and nicely directed.The acting, dialog, and desert scenery combine to make this an awesome movie. Josh Duhamel simply superb Acting as he delivered his role as Mitchell perfectly and Dan Fogler is also superb . What i like most about this movie was dialogs (simple conversations turned in to argument and then fights and then again simple conversation) Well things happen in beat friends and then they become normal and that's all about this movie was . Few scenes are amazing and nicely act by both actors ...well i liked the movie and this movie is diff from other movies if we talks about Ending The way they start arguing and then fight ,then it become serious and blood shed then they realize what they did was wrong and then apology.

To all the readers it could be a spoiler that the movie has nothing to offer as far visually as one would expect from the title.Ironically, not knowing how the movie was, I deliberately got this movie into my mobile device with high hopes of boredom that would help me fall asleep in a 3 hour flight. However, it proved otherwise !! This is one of the most engrossing script I have seen. The dialogs are brilliant and takes you through a roller coaster ride of vacillating emotions between two friends who are riding along a long deserted route.The movie is very captivating right from the first scene and holds you tight all throughout. The actors are just brilliant. The movie has a very realistic feel to it. I find very few movies that have the ability to grip you throughout. This is definitely one of them and is a must watch.

Sometimes I love independent films, especially about disaster/breakdown scenarios. Scenic Route is just that and though a tad far-fetched, it might actually happen this way.And…I did like it, despite my doubts.Josh Duhamel, whom I will always cherish from the TV series Las Vegas over the horrible Transformers "Go-bots" films, did okay here and was definitely over-shined by his costar/buddy, Dan Fogler.Allow me to back up. Two lifelong, albeit drifting apart, friends plan a road trip that inadvertently gets them stuck in the plains. The dominate one, Fogler's Carter, ignores passerbyers' help in lieu of conversation with his life mate, Mitchell (Duhamel.)Eventually, the heat of the day, cool of the night and the delirium of the situation gets the two boys down. How would you get out of the desert once your car breaks down and there are few passengers on the lonely and isolated "short cut" of road you choose?At less than an hour and a half, with little new to bring to the table, you could do worse. But, I believe these two guys brought their heart and soul to these roles and absolutely showed what would happen if a desperate friend needed his life-partner this bad.Interested in how I described this? Absolutely see this. 82 minutes – seriously, what else were you planning for tonight?* * * Final thoughts: THE ENDING. Like a lot of independent "SHOCKING" endings, I loved this one. Where these two end up is surprising, and it does make you relish in the film you have seen. I did like the movie up to the ending, and I believe this sealed the deal.
