    Mitchell runs a desert (and deserted) diner and a rundown motel. Beat-up and terrified Watson wanders in, and by helping him, she riles up the people that are looking for him. Lucas and two sidekicks turn up and he initially acts friendly, especially when that nice doctor is hacked to death but perhaps he has an ulterior motive. Explosive ironical climax. Set in Texas but shot in New Zealand, this has a rugged look.

Breakdown

On their cross-country drive, a married couple, Jeff and Amy Taylor, experience car trouble after their SUV breaks down. Stranded in the New Mexico desert, the two catch a break when a passing truck driver offers Amy a ride to a nearby café to call for help. Meanwhile, Jeff is able to fix the car and make his way to the café, but Amy isn't there. He tracks down the trucker ― who tells the police he's never seen Jeff or his wife before. Jeff then begins a desperate, frenzied search for Amy.
