As others have said, these guys make a series of unrealistically stupid choices. In the first 10 minutes, the guy that has one working leg decides to climb in 115 degree heat to the top of a small hill made of rocks in order to see if his cell phone works. His buddy goes with him.
Now, this is where I almost stopped because any thinking person would decide the non-injured guy will climb the hill and the injured guy will stay with the truck. In case, you know, someone comes by.
Not only that but neither of them looked at the phone the whole time they were walking. And he wouldn't be able to make that climb with that boot.
Their decisions don't get much better, but I enjoyed the ride: seeing what comes next, thinking about what I would do, and also considering a bit below the surface of what was actually said on screen.
It touches on changing friendships, lost dreams, life commitments, regrets, relationships, and joy.
Acting was very well done.
The ending: I suspected the writer might pull something like this. But it was done in an unexpected way. I loved the phone conversation at the end.
I'm choosing to believe that the reason behind his disconnection, unsteadiness, and questioning of reality is all from PTSD.
