Nat Banyon (Black) is an orphan just looking to get back on his feet after an extended convalescence in a Wyoming hospital. When by chance Nat spots a bad car accident and bravely acts to save the life of the car's eccentric driver, Herman Finch (Coyote), the grateful wheelman kindly extends an offer of work to the young drifter, with the understanding that room and board will be provided free of charge. Assigned the task of cleaning up Finch's rundown Deepwater motel in exchange for a street-worthy car, Nat sets about performing his duties while slowly becoming aware that, in this ramshackle motel, nothing is as it seems and no one can be trusted. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Critic Reviews

Ken Eisner, Variety
Carves out unique territory -- even as it may freak out fans of genre convention.

Felix Gonzalez Jr., DVD Review
This is a small movie that deserves as much attention as it can get, especially for its director.

Felix Gonzalez Jr., DVD Review
Just when we think we are coming to the truth, Marfield throws a curve that shatters all of our expectations.

Scott Weinberg, DVDTalk.com
A whole lot better than most direct-to-video crime thrillers; it's just that this particular story's been done to death by this point.

Pablo Villaca, Cinema em Cena
O clima inquietante construído pelo diretor estreante, somado às boas atuações (de Black e Coyote, em particular) e ao bom roteiro (mesmo com alguns furos), transforma o filme em uma boa surpresa.
