Two
guys get lost in the desert and try to find their way
out. Apart from that the flicks premise, is a drama about two guys (Damon, Affleck) who call each other "Gerry" stranded in the desert during a hiking expedition, and that they suffer dehydration (not a huge surprise). |

Much
of it was apparently 'improvised' - which to me normally
means 'beware' as what follows is no better than average
as actors mistake 'dialogue' for plot, pace, and versimilitude.
They are wrong, However as one of the actors actually
won Best Screenplay Oscar for his sophomore effort,
then you have to assume this will be above average.
(Good Will Hunting, in case you forgot.) |
