Review of Accident

Accident (I) (2017)
1/10
Total nonsense!
24 July 2020
Warning: Spoilers
From beginning to end, this movie was complete & utter garbage. The story overall is like the rest of those others that feature friends going on a trip and then having everything unravel... The difference here is that it all unfolds in the most ridiculously implausible ways that you wonder what the writer/director of this movie was thinking!

The movie starts out with 2 young girls being dropped off at a bus station that are on their way to a music festival. We shortly find out that one of the girls lied to the mother that dropped them off & that they never had any tickets for the bus ride to the festival they were going to. The plan was to actually hitch a ride with a few other friends who are going to the same festival, but of course this doesn't go as planned as the 2 girls are now stranded with no bus ticket or a way to get to their destination. In fact, the bus that was there when they arrived just left.

So now the plan turns into hitching ANY ride to their destination and of course the 2 girls wind up jumping into a BMW with a driver that nearly ran them over... Supposedly the BMW belongs to the parents of the driver & one of the guys steps out to apologize and make up for almost running the girls down by offering them a ride.

From here the story quickly goes downhill, with the girls eventually finding out that the car is actually stolen and they wind up in a horrible accident which flips the car over. Now the 4 of them must come together to find safety and escape from the shadowy owners of the car who are now looking for it.

Ok, so that didn't sound all that bad right? Unfortunately as great as it all sounds on paper, the execution is horrendous. The 2 girls which are supposed to the protagonists are portrayed as very vapid & immature. The 2 guys that picked them up in the car are basically portrayed as douchebags. The scene featuring the actual car crash that really sets the story in motion is the most horrendous & unnecessary and overly drawn out CGI sequence which just makes things drag on THAT much longer. Even the subplot about all the little events that lead up to this moment are facepalmingly bad!

The worst thing that the writer/director did with this movie is draw out every little detail & added to much melodrama to every little thing that happens. For a good portion of the movie, we are forced to hear the characters unnecessarily whine & drone on about whose fault it is that they are in this terrible situation that you just want them all to die since they are so insufferable!

Avoid this movie at all costs! It's a total waste of time and trust me when I say you will regret being subjected to everything that happens.
