Stinker....
Octane review

From the Director of 'Long Time Dead'
comes this supposedly high Octane thriller starring Madeleine Stowe and Mischa Barton.
For those of you who may have seen the excellent 'Lawn Dogs' with an inspired performance from a very young Mischa Barton , I had hoped some of that talent might shine through in this movie . But with the stinky script and ridiculous storyline , it wasn't exactly challenging material.
It started off quite stylish and spooky
but descended into predictable tedium ,
a hybrid of the likes of The Hitcher,
The Hills Have Eyes, and Duel. Even the soundtrack from excellent veteran disc-spinners 'Orbital' sounded like it had been knocked out in one afternoon .
Shame really , a promising concept
unconvincingly delivered.
