Collision (2013)

Fresh and Exciting

A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."

The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.

The movie really just wants to entertain people.

RANDOM FILMS PART 7 Now, what can I say about Collision? Shall I mention it was originally called 'Intersections'? I'm sensing a theme here...Should I talk about the fact that no-one can trust each other? Seriously, this is House Of Cards levels of deception...I could prattle on about how there isn't a decent woman to be found in the movie (apart from right at the end)?On the same topic, how about the underlying sexist message that females are only after one thing? (Clue: It start with M and rhymes with funny, though they're not spelt the same, unless you're dyslexic. )There's a REALLY good car cra... Oh, you already guessed that by looking at the title. Silly me.Er... The desert looks good at this time of year? Seriously folks, I'm struggling here. I've seen ALL this before... The backstabbing, the artificial tension, the stupid decisions, the frenetic last few minutes... Only, done much better.Wondering why you've never heard of this film? Wonder no longer. 5/10

Great movie with two story lines coming together. Some surprising elements, keeps you entertained you from the start till end. Even the end is surprising. The acting is great, the bad guy plays a great role. I just don't know where the lady in black came from at the end in the black sheets and the diamond shoes. furthermore i onder why i need to write a 10 line comment. only reason i made an account is because 5,3 rating is way too low. this movie deserves more. As said by another reviewer. So go watch this one and rate it accordingly. now all i need is another 3 lines. So hows the weather over there? It sucks here that i can tell you.

I went in blank so to say , as other stated i was also surprised by the whole plot.Good realistic actions , good acting the accident was astonishing to me ! very good filming ,the end plot by not killing the women and was surprising to me , i would have killed here !Then Scott killing his wife is kinda obvious and then again not he just could have let here go , all those plots very good acting . Anyway i could write a entire 5 pages but that would be a shame and give away the film .There are enough spoilers written already , so i dare you don't look at the rating just watch the film.Not every film need a celebrity film star in it to make it a good film !

At the beginning a newlywed couple from New York City, Scot and Taylor Dolan, seemingly deeply in love with each other, both arrive by helicopter (excuse me) at a super luxurious remote desert resort in Morocco. Scot is about 50 and one of those men who seem shabbily dressed and unshaven regardless of their expensive clothes, but his gorgeous young wife Taylor around 30 is very stylish, sexy and beautiful, looking more like a rich parisienne than a fashionable female New Yorker. After 15 minutes and an erotic love scene it become rapidly obvious that all is not well with the relationship, apart from the sex; even in bed Scot crassly informs Taylor that she came five times, not very romantic. Taylor goes outside to the pool to meet a young man called Travis they conspire to kill Scot. A desert excursion provides an excellent opportunity for Taylor and Travis to realise their plan. The next segment of the movie begins with a striking aerial view of the Toyota SUV racing down a straight and very empty well-kept highway. Shortly after Scot turns off the highway onto a dirt road. that can only be followed by the tire marks of previous vehicles. Then a car driven by Travis leaves the highway and crosses the desert to pursue them. Travis seems to be trying his best to kill Scot by sideswiping him. The 'duel' ends when both SUVs jump a series of high dunes and literally fly into a cluster of vehicles and local Arabs halted on the dirt road in front of them. This is the beginning of the longest and most crucial segment of the movie.A decrepit local bus heavily overburdened with passengers, chickens and cargo has stopped, probably because of a flat tire while several cars and a bunch of Arabs are gathered around it. First the pursued Toyota ploughs into the bus and a parked and occupied car slaughtering several Moroccans in the process. Travis in hot pursuit knocks over several local and in trying to avoid them he abruptly turns the steering wheel whereupon his vehicle rolls over.As a result of these accidents there are bloodied bodies everywhere. One of the survivors, the driver of the car, is critically injured by the impact with the shaft of his steering wheel fully penetrating his belly. With futile efforts he is trying to pull the shaft out of his body. An Arabic looking young woman with a headscarf is holding a baby in the back of the injured driver's car and is screaming in French for help. She and the infant are unharmed but trapped inside the car. The lover is also trapped in his vehicle but either dead or unconscious. Scot and Taylor, who are unhurt, manage to remove his body. They determine that Travis is still alive.Meanwhile, unseen, Omar a rough looking Moroccan, stumbles from the wreck of the bus wearing handcuffs. Another local man, is badly injured as the bus has fallen on top of him and only the top half of his body appears. Omar strangles the dying man with his chains, finds the key and some other objects on him and unlocks the handcuffs. All this is unnoticed by any of the others The Arabic looking women at the back of the car holding the screaming baby turnouts to be French. Omar frees Audrey, the French woman. She removes her scarf and her long blonde hair falls to her shoulders. Audrey begins efforts to free the driver but to no avail. Omar tosses a lighted cigarette toward a gas leak from the car which soon catches fire and the driver begins to scream. Audrey and Scot attempt to douse the fire with bottles of water but Omar object saying they need the water for drinking. He takes an iron rod and smashes the driver's skull; supposedly to stop him suffering but Omar obviously has some ulterior motive in killing him. Meanwhile, Taylor is looking after the baby rather awkwardly (hardy her Fifth Avenue Manhattan style) and wants to pass it back to Audrey who claims 'it's not my baby'! Shortly after another Moroccan character Saleh sporting a woollen tuque and leather jacket arrives at the scene of the accident from behind a few rocks where he has been hiding. Now the complement of the six main characters is complete and during the rest of the movie we slowly discover the connections between them and their various murky motives which include murder, greed, kidnapping and revenge, eventually explaining why they have all arrived at the same remote desert spot. Some of the main characters never make it past the scene of the accident and the old fort nearby in the desert where they spend their last night; the rest manage to get as far as Tangiers but at the end only three have survived. Two of the survivors succeed in their original plans, mostly because they were better planners than their adversaries and anticipated their moves. The third person, shortly after arrival in Tangiers, is arrested by the police to be imprisoned in a Moroccan jail for the rest of their life for the serious crime they committed. Final Advice: When you decide to watch this movie make sure you have no distractions, disconnect your phones and the doorbell otherwise you might miss vital clues.
