3.5/4

Rehmeier, though, cares about individuality, and he has a sense of humor. He doesn’t force chemistry, but he leaves lots of space for it.

Nestled into its classic blueprint like a pair of old, reliable jeans, it banks on the quality of its ingredients — its magnetic stars and soulful sincerity — to revitalize its timeworn premise.

3/4

Director Adam Carter Rehmeier (“Dinner in America,” “Snack Shack”) and screenwriter Tom Dean keep this thriller zipping along but what really fires it up are its two leads and a great assist from Kyra Sedgwick in a hold-on-to-your-socks cameo.

The bones are certainly here, but there’s not nearly enough meat on them for a minor crash and grab like "Carolina Caroline" to merit a clean getaway. Movie review

7/10

Both stars are appropriately well-settled into their roles, believable together, and able to convey a sense of edge separately.

Alongside its gritty 1970s visual influences, the film’s character-driven layers add emotional depth to a conventional story.

It was okay… a little too unbelievable and sort of predictable.

the director obviously got caught up too much in Samara Weaving's good looks to give out a facinating script/plot/storyline.. Cant blame him as Samara is mesmerizing and larger than life on screen, but hey, we cant stare at her for 90 min without a compelling story line. And that's where this movie falls.. This is a Bonnie and clyde paint by the numbers plot with very little twists. So a bit boring. The ending tried to be a twist- But it was too familiar...we have all seen this ending too where the male lead sacrifices himself so that his GF can run scott free. Final grade : 2.5 stars out of 5... or a C grade for babyboomers.. Is it worth a second watch?..Despite her obvious mesmerizing beauty, and above average acting,=Nope..sorry.
