bone dry

i picked this one up on a whim.  i dig lance henriksen, and love luke goss from the blade 2 and hellboy 2.  every once in a while the local movie rental place has deals to try and thin out their old stock, and usually i can find deals for pretty cheap.  its a good thing i only paid a buck for this one, cause that about all its worth.  the story starts with goss waking up in the middle of the desert.  he has been kidnapped and now must try to survive in the brutal heat while the man responsible watches from a distance.  goss has a walkie talkie, so he knows that someone is watching him and harassing him through out the whole ordeal.  can he find it back to civilization before the man responsible does his worst?  the set up could be interesting, and the cast is pretty cool, but the movie falls into the rut of a brutal horror victim film, where the violence serves no purpose other than to see the suffering.  this one is exactly what one thinks of when the term 'straight to video' comes up.
