Curve

Mallory Rutledge (Julianne Hough) is driving her fiancé's truck to Denver to meet him and get married. While driving in the lonely road, she talks to her sister Ella and decides to take a detour to visit the Grand Canyon. Out of the blue, the truck stops and Mallory can get no service in her cell phone. However the gentle drifter Christian Laughton (Teddy Sears) offers to fix the car and Mallory accepts. Then she offers a ride to him and when she is driving, he says * to her. She asks him to leave but he shows a knife and tells her to go to a derelict motel. Mallory sees that the psychopath Christian is not wearing the seat bell and decides to throw the truck off the road in a curve. But the leg of Mallory is trapped in the overturned car and Christian leaves her without any help, in the beginning of Mallory's worst nightmare. Will she escape from the vehicle and from the psychopath? "Curve" is a tense low-budget thriller with good performances of Teddy Sears and Julianne Hough. However, the promising beginning and development are wasted with a conventional and commercial conclusion. Mallory is wounded and starving after many days trapped in the truck and her decision of helping Katie is absolutely unbelievable. Further, she has a gun pointed to a psychopath and asks him to not move after days of torture. Anyone would have shot the psychopath and then ask him to not move. My vote is six. Title (Brazil): Not Available on DVD or Blu-ray

I saw Julianne Hough in Footloose and I wasn't very impressed. This movie changed my opinion of her acting skills. This movie just gave her the chance to show her talent. I don't think there is anything this woman cannot do. The part was not an easy one by any stretch of the imagination and Julianne nailed it. I don't recognize the male lead. I always give any movie five minutes to convince me to watch it. This movie had me from the beginning. It's more like a psychological thriller. I really don't think any other actress could have done any better than The performance was really fantastic and is worth of an Academy Award in my opinion. I really enjoyed this movie and hope you do to. I haven't heard of this movie before. I stumbled onto it on Netflix and thoroughly enjoyed it. No spoilers here, watch and enjoy!
