"SEND HELP" - MINI-REVIEW
SEND HELP is an absolute blast.
Director Sam Raimi (EVIL DEAD, SPIDER-MAN) returns with his all-around best movie since DRAG ME TO HELL, in a wild, hilarious, disgusting and surprising two-hander that starts as CAST AWAY meets MISERY, and… well, it’s great.
Rachel McAdams is plucky as ever as a corporate underling-turned-survivor, and Dylan O’Brien (becoming one of my favorite young actors) adds layers to the villain you love to hate as her entitled new boss.
It might be hard to think about movies right now, but SEND HELP does what the very best movies do, which is to make you forget about your troubles for a while, whether those troubles include work stress, relationship issues or, in my case, living in an occupied city (!).
SEND HELP opens everywhere tonight.
