What absolute GARBAGE! What a waste of time! If you like 90 mins of a moron driving around lost, be my guest.

There are other movies just like it that are better, but Lost will do the trick if they have already been rented out.

Dean Cain is lost while driving through the Mojave. He done something bad, and has a flight to catch by 9pm to put it all behind him. Correct my grammar and I'll come after you, sapo.

Overall not a bad movie. The premise was great, but the story itself was a little weak. Relied a lot on character obliviousness, way too convenient timing and coincidence (heavy handed direction too - instead of assuming the audience was smart enough to get there ourselves, we're shoved face first into some obvious points). Dean Cain does a good job and manages to stay a sympathetic character (which is tough, I'm not a big fan of the anti-hero or bad guy as protagonist). Pretty light role for Danny Trejo, but he's great with what he's given, as always. If you count the location as a character, that did the most to further the plot. Visually very much conveys a sense of desolation and being "lost".

The viewer slowly learns more about what Dean is up to as the movie goes on, which is somewhat intriguing. However, if I am honest I got bored after 30 minutes and stopped watching.

Perhaps you think, "'Lost,' the movie...? I've never heard of it." If so, consider yourself deeply blessed and part of the great majority of people who have had the very real blessing of never having met this "creature."
In calling this movie a "creature" I wish to emphasize its ability to almost literally administer pain to the viewer's body and mind by repeatedly attacking the viewer with its dumbness. As a rabies-infested creature attacks viciously and without good reason, this movie drives the viewer into a corner and sinks its thought-sapping teeth into the most vital areas of the viewer's intelligence.
In between these "suspenseful," animal-like-assault moments, the viewer will endure long, seemingly endless stretches of tedious, unrealistic dialog and panning shots of vacant landscape and road, which has, of course, a sedative-like effect, except without the ?falling completely unconscious? benefit that sedatives would offer. The viewer's body will indeed continually demand unconsciousness (a natural defense mechanism), yet some (knowingly) misplaced hope that a plot will soon appear keeps the viewer allowing the torture of consciousness, the pain and frustration of intentionally looking at the screen.
It is a severe (yet unavoidable, due to the limitations of language) understatement to say this is a very, very, exceptionally very, very bad movie. It sends the viewer into internal seizures of disgust and horror--not genuine horror (as the filmmakers seemingly intended) at, for example, the persistent, irritating flashing images of cherry air fresheners (no joke) and kids playing football, but genuine horror at the disturbing possibility that these filmmakers seriously thought what they were creating was something good, serious, sane, and coherent. Surely, the filmmakers must have, at some point, looked at what they had made and considered it worthy of other human beings' attention and time--a grave (almost misanthropic) conclusion indeed.
As far as "characters" go, any good reputation Dean Cain (the lead "actor" in this film, "Jeremy") had attained through previous work basically dies with this film. His unintentionally corny, unbelievable attempts at seeming like an actual human being struggling through an "intense cat-and-mouse game" produces degrees of nausea and annoyance I didn't think possible for a character in a movie to cause. It almost physically hurts to watch and listen to his mannerisms and dialog. Not only is this character ?lost? in that he is seemingly incapable of following simple directions and road maps (and practical logic [i]at all,[/i] for that matter) but also the actor himself seems ?lost? in that he cannot bring some small amount of realistic emotion and personality to the (admittedly) atrocious writing of the script.
If you have run out of bricks to smash into your face or stairs to throw yourself down or circles to run in, this movie might be a good way to fill an uneventful Saturday evening.

Not the show, the movie.

Not too bad. Good suspense thriller, A fine performance by Dean Cain. Fast paced, well filmed, nice location shots. Some great twists. I was never bored.
