Plots(1)
A struggling motel owner and her daughter are taken hostage by a nearly blind dangerous criminal to be his eyes as he attempts to retrieve his cash package from a crooked cop. Chloe and her daughter Sophia live in a rundown motel on a lonely highway pit stop. As the proprietor of the motel, Chloe is in financial trouble and has quietly allowed a prostitution operation to run on the premises under the supervision of Billy, a corrupt cop whose affection for Chloe is unrequited. One night, Topo, a nearly blind career criminal, and his driver stop over at the motel while en route to deliver cash to an unknown boss. An accident causes Topo to lose his driver, and their car is taken to the police impound with the money still inside. Robbed of his money and his surrogate set of eyes, Topo takes Chloe and Sophia hostage, and forces Chloe to be his new driver and guide, using Sophia as collateral. They set out after Billy, who has stolen the money from the impounded car. (official distributor synopsis)

A blind criminal who captures a woman and her daughter. It looks like it might be a home invasion scenario, but that doesn't end up happening. Rather than a horror, it's more of a thriller with elements of detective work, where tension is built up to some extent, but it's not particularly remarkable. Although it seems like the writers will try to impress us, in the end, it's more or less straightforward. I'm not sure if it's good or bad that the daughter wasn't better utilized, but considering her presence, it's rather disappointing. I'm surprised that Bryan Cranston, of all people, who has an amazing voice, has to speak with a Russian or some other accent here. I guess there's no point in lying to myself, as I was simply expecting more. Not much ends up happening in the end, and just when you think it's over, there's still a bit more of nothing left to endure. And to top it off, there are incredibly long credits that follow, nearly 11 minutes long...
