Sorry, this movie sucks

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

It is an exhilarating, distressing, funny and profound film, with one of the more memorable film scores in years,

REBOUND is a slick little indie horror flick with a torture porn feel. The protagonist is a young woman who discovers - graphically - that her boyfriend is cheating on her, causing her to flee her life in order to begin a new one in another city. Unfortunately, en route she ends up being captured and held hostage by a regular psycho. This effort has pretty good production values and some gore, but it's also overly familiar and has little atmosphere to go along with the story.

There is a revealing line spoken by Claire in the middle of her day out of hell: "Why is this happening to me?", she asks. It is a good question and one that is never fully resolved in the film.The narrative focuses on a young woman driving from Los Angeles to Chicago. She is leaving her adulterous boyfriend, her job, and her current reality to return to her mother and her childhood home.Along the way, Claire has her cell phone stolen, experiences a car breakdown, and, finally, meets a sadistic auto mechanic who takes her captive and tortures her. But the maniacal mechanic claims to be serving a greater purpose in Claire's life in leading her to confront her demons, forcing her to admit that she was running away, and, ultimately, making her a stronger person.Unfortunately, the conceit of the film was not successful and might have been fulfilled if "Eddie," Claire's mechanic, would have been conceived more abstractly as her alter-ego. If his goading had been presented in a dreamlike and less gruesome manner, the audience might have been led to believe that Eddie is a part of Claire's own inner powers to heal from her emotional pain and deal with adversity. Alas, there needed to be a more imaginative approach to the film's concept. The actress playing Claire tried valiantly to work with the material. But the final result was more like a film school exercise, as opposed to a final, polished work of cinema.

I always seek out Indie Films because I'm through with the type of "movies" Hollywood churns out. This is an indie film made on a low budget (so what?) and we very well done. I thought it looked nice photography wise and the story was surprising. At first I thought it might be the same old thing I've seen many times before, but it isn't. This movie some twists and turns that I didn't see coming. I don't consider it horror. It's more of a thriller. It starts out slow, but hang in there, it picks up. It's important that the mood is set right with a movie like this, so be patient. This movie is worth giving a chance.

Right , I liked this ! A woman goes on a road journey to escape her past. And she meets deadbeat after deadbeat in outback America. Things go from bad to worse. Everyone is just horrid to her, and shes really quite a decent person , so she stands out as someone being wronged by life. Good lead actress , really good actually , never seen her before , great performance. It's grainy , desolate life of the outback America , the loserville areas which carry the story as our good woman comes into contact with these lost souls. I gotta give a heads up to the bar man in this film , if anyone sees it , check out his attitude problem , ha , he so needs a kick in for the way he treated her. I liked the main guy as well. Its weird story , a bit David lynch , carpenter type film .Yeah liked this film was cool. Ending was twisted in good way. I guess this was low budget so was good that the actors did a good job , class job , recommend !
