Cool car movie alert. Ok, so there goes half the audience, but wait, there's a young mother at the wheel. Welcome back everyone.
Actually, the car in question, the Monolith, is a bit of an unsexy black SUV tank. The ultimate safety and protection transportation tech device, with total auto driving capabilities. Kinda like a panic room on wheels. What could go wrong?
Plenty as it turns out, as not long after introductions we have a major woman vs. machine conflict. Sounds juicy, but unfortunately the execution fails to meet the setup. Mom is out of her element, er Monolith while her little toddler is locked inside. Hoo boy, wait till the mother in law hears about this.
How all this plays out is rather pedantic, with none of the necessary hair raising chills or nervous comedic moments such a premise should deliver. Neat idea, but not much more, and Stephen King's "Christine" already nailed this premise long ago.
score 5/10
