Worst film ever!!! - Gerry review by CP Customer
This is the worst film I have ever seen in my entire life!!! In fact I couldn't watch any more than the first hour - what a waste of time!!!
The beginning starts with a car driving - you would think, just while the credits are on...but no. It just drives for ages - nothing happening, nobody talking. When Matt Damon and Casey Affleck get out the car they walk for a long time, without speaking. They are in a dessert-type land and nothing is going on. One then gets stuck on a rock and can't get down, so it's another 10 minutes of nothing and I couldn't stand anymore. I think in the hour I watched it, 10 words were spoken!!!

Easy on the eye - Gerry review by JT
This film's genre is described as "Action & Adventure". However, there was next to no action, and the adventure part was questionable. And it wouldn't have take them long to learn the script either. Also the possibility that two apparently sensible young guys going off on a walk with no map, water, phones and getting lost - just didn't gel with me, Having said that, there must have been something in it because I kept watching, and managed to survive until the end. So perhaps it was the "something's *got* to happen at some point" element that kept me going. Perhaps it's that Casey Affleck is very easy on the eye. Yes, I'll put it down to that.
