This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

I found this film entertaining, mixture of comedy but mainly serious and violent undertones, the unfaithful and ultra devious wife plotting with her vicious lawyer lover. Jack as the lawyer/lover speaks in a very basic way, whereas I think a traditional lawyer would be more refined. I watched the film with my husband and we rated it quite highly. One question I have, how did the 'hillbilly' who was savagely attacked by Jack get to the hospital? Who took him there, or did he get there himself after such severe beatings? The change over from the city guy to a savage surviving the harsh desert conditions was well done, the old battered car was a useful refuge. A pity the sheriff got killed, he was a good and genuine guy.

When I saw this movie on the cable (I don't believe that it ever made to the cinema), I wasn't expecting much, but to my surprise, with these hardly famed cast, the whole presentation stood out. Not only the acting and the story line were good, but also the photography and editing. Although it's obviously a low-budget film, something about it made it feel genuine (if not ingenious). Perhaps it's the new faces of the actors, or the comic feel over the resemblance of the sadder City Slickers. Overall, it's a very entertaining, simple-and-easy, and refreshing movie that gives you great taste while watching it, and also great after taste! The general plot is simple: Your wife and a good friend conspire to kill you for your fortune. He lures a city slicker like you to the desert to see a prime piece of property. He pushes you off the cliff and disguises the fall as a fatal accident. But you somehow survive the fall and later on the harsh desert. Overcoming the survival challenges you gradually transform yourself into an indigenous warrior for the ultimate revenge.. Well, you can guess the rest. However, you won't know the comic subtlety that it brings unless you're fortunate to find a copy to watch!

The story of "Sandtrap" won't be very original to most viewers - it's kind of a cross between "Body Heat" and "The Most Dangerous Game". As well, each of the three characters has been written to come across in an embarrassing way a few times (especially David John James' character when he starts getting delirious), and the characters make some silly actions at times. Still, it looks slick and well-shot, it's never boring, and there are some really good moments - especially the ending, which is very satisfying.

I was very disappointed when I saw this film. It was a big achievement of me to sit through this film and it shows that I have got a lot of perseverance.The film was very predictable and not original at all. You know what is going to happen from the beginning till the end. The acting is terrible. The transfomation of Nelson (David John James) from a city man into a wild man in the desert is the laugh of the film. If this was a comedy it is OK, but it isn't. It is a serious film about a man that is betrayed by his wife and his best friend and who's trying to survive in the desert.I would like to warn everyone to stay away from this film. It can ruin your evening!
