And Soon The Darkness (5/10)

So what happens in a suspense/thriller when there is well... no suspense or thrills. Well you got "And Soon The Darkness" or at least the 2010 remake. There's a better original that takes place in France. Here we have Stephanie (Amber Heard) and Ellie (Odette Annable, new last name with marriage). They are tooth pick thin woman traveling the outbacks of Argentina on bike. They have no protection and often wear skimpy outfits. See that's just something you don't do. I travel enough to know that their situation just screams something bad to happen. This is fact, not sexism or anything, women need to watch their backs in foreign countries (Argentina as beautiful as it is has quite the  rough reputation). One of the girls will go missing and the other will have no idea what happened to her. She needs to find her friend in a foreign country before it's to late. Well the way she handles this is dumb and boring as is the movie. Throw in Karl Urban in a useless role and this is a dud. It's not the worst movie I've seen but it's the worst in a while.

5/10
Recommendation: I'd pass on it.
