A miscreant (Bill Skarsgård, apparently channeling Pete Davidson) breaks into the wrong parked vehicle and finds himself trapped inside a spacious luxury SUV where he is tortured remotely by a weary man (Anthony Hopkins, literally phoning it in) who's had enough of petty crime. Which one are we supposed to be rooting for here? (Don't worry; the film makes it abundantly clear.)
I love "bottle" movies where the main character is stuck in a single location (Phone Booth, Buried, ATM, Devil, just to name a few), so it worked for me on a certain level, but the formula is starting to feel a bit rote and you pretty much know exactly where it's going to go. It's fun for a few thrills and then it's over.
This is only one of three remakes of the 2019 Argentinian film 4x4.
