[quote name="Jerry Whorebach"]The one I saw was a psychological thriller starring Lou Diamond Phillips that probably didn't get too many four-star reviews. It's about an aimless drifter of indeterminate ethnicity, who crashes his car in the middle of nowhere during a hurricane. He gets rescued by a mean old mountain man (<i>The Last Action Hero</i>'s Charles Dance) and his submissive young bride (<i>Timecop</i>'s Mia Sera), and invited to wait out the storm in their big rustic cabin with no telephones or electricity. I was pretty sure the hillbillies were supposed to represent the drifter's parents, but nothing on IMDb seems to indicate that, so maybe I just imagined it. Anyway, Lou Diamond Phillips ends up boning his mom and killing his dad, then the hurricane stops and he drives away in a big truck under a rainbow. Not a great film, though I did enjoy a scene of Lou Diamond Phillips doing loud, angry push-ups in his bedroom while his "parents" had loud, angry sex in the room directly above. Who's never been there, am I right?[/quote]
