Audience Reviews for White Sands

  • Sep 04, 2019
    This was an interesting take on the mid budgeted thriller story, and it does work at times. Rourke is essentially a name here and only shows up at varying moments to service the storyline. Dafoe is excellent as normal, but he can only service a story so far and his overall arc isn't earth shattering. High concept 90s films were a dime a dozen and this had a lot of talent behind it. It isn't the worst, but the absurdity of the storyline grows too much by the end. 04/09/2019
