A Road Movie 'Route 10' mixed with thriller. The story is set in Saudi Arabia.
Route 10
When his son and daughter are preparing to fly from Riyadh to Abu Dhabi for their father's wedding, the news comes that the flight has been cancelled.
His father tells him to come by road (900 km). Image Credit
Both of them are traveling in a car when a person in another vehicle tries to kill them.
Route 10 is what happened in the end.
Typical story
There is nothing new to say about this film. If you have already seen Road Movie, it will be a thriller as well.
The reason why I want to write a review for this movie is because it is happening in Saudi.
Although I have watched a lot of country movies, I have never seen Saudi movies.
We only know now that they will shoot there.
I came to know about Saudi and see its places.
When it comes to movies made in America, there are many interesting locations like forests, deserts, hill ranges.
If it is a beauty, it is the desert, the sand everywhere, the clothes, the customs.
But, even if you know what kind of model Route 10 will be in the name itself, because the story is traveling entirely on the desert road, nothing new can be learned.
Intense heat
Highway 10 is said to be the longest, straightest road in the world.
There was a scene that sometimes one's mood changes because of the heat. Really?!
There are police patrols on the highway even in the hot sun.
Apart from these, nothing culturally significant could be known.
But what they say about the father and discuss his harsh actions gives us a lot to understand.
The cinematography is nothing to write home about, the rest is fine.
Almost like Steven Spielberg's Duel. The face of the chaser to the end is unknown.
Who can see?
Those who want to watch Road Movie can freely watch it, others can watch it for thriller and different experience.
Available on NETFLIX. Recommended by Ram.
For those who don't know what a road movie is, the story mostly takes place on a road trip.
Paiya can be said to be the most notable road movie in Tamil.
Anushka Sharma's film NH 10 will be a hit. It can't be called a complete road movie, but it can start like that.
Le Grand Voyage
Friend Yasin recommended a movie called Le Grand Voyage. This is not a Saudi film but the story of a drive from France to Mecca.
The film will be slow moving but will be spectacular. (Amazon Prime is available in the US). Willing to watch again ๐ .
Please suggest interesting movies about Saudi.
