Not a bad flick

I'll go with 5 on this one, I don't think it's that bad of a watch,though it did lose me here and there and some of the flash-forwards andbackwards threw me off in the way they're cut together. I do agree withothers that this is a different role for Heigl and she doesn't do toobad at it. I'm not sure if she would take that as a compliment giventhe role, but I love seeing the diversity and you have to startsomewhere, right :)? Why not Zyzzyx Rd? I guess I'm a little thrown bythe different spellings of the road, since I believe the "other film"Zzyzx actually has it correct, which if that's the case, I'm not surewhy they spelled the title of this film as they did. There's also thefact that the 2 apparently came out the same year. Nevertheless, thiswasn't a bad watch and I would suggest it to folks who like theHorror/Suspense/Thriller thing.

Sexist piece of crap!

Absolutely one of the worst movies I've seen in a long time! It startsoff badly and just deteriorates. Katherine Heigl is woefully miscast ina Lolita role and Leo Grillo manfully struggles with what isessentially a cardboard cutout character. The only cast-member with anyenthusiasm is Tom Sizemore, who hams it up as a villain and goescompletely overboard with his role. The script is dire, the actinghorrible and it has plot holes big enough to drive a double-decker busthrough! It is also the most sexist movie I have ever seen! KatherineHeigl's character is completely unsympathetic. She's seen as an evil,wanton seductress who lures the poor, innocent married man to cheat onhis wife. It is implied throughout the movie that she's underage, andthe message that accompanies that plot-strand just beggars belief! Atthe end, she isn't even able to redeem herself by shooting the manwho's obviously (ha!) become demented with rage and guilt, but thescript allows him to kill himself, thereby redeeming himself in theeyes of males everywhere. Horrible. Don't waste your time.

More a novelty, curiosity, than anything else.

I saw this primarily because boxofficemojo. com gave this movie theworst productioncost-to-visitor ratio, EVER! That's primarily becausethey didn't distribute it.And showed it only in one theatre world wide But still. Officially, 30people saw the theatrical release.But since then, it has been downloaded many more times.So .... I will give this an A for Effort.It was kinda hard to sit through.The story was hard to follow.But Heigl was Okay.I liked Madsen as well.

WOW

Saw this movie a couple years ago in Dallas and I think there ws only one other prson in the theater. But this might be the best film never released. Sizemore is reat as usual and it won't be long before Hiegle makes the big jump to the big screen.

Great film!

This film is great. It's fun to watch Heigl in a different role fromnormal. She's a great actress. Check it out - worth the time! Grilloand Sizemore are also great, Sizemore is an awesome villain. Thestoryline is very different - lots of twists and keeps you on yourtoes. Overall, it's a fun and exciting thriller/mystery. Zyzzyx Road isthe actual name of a road in Las Vegas. The film has a funny history --grossing $30 at the box office! That makes it the lowest grossing filmof all time, but there's a lot more to it than that. It's aninteresting story, look it up on Google some time. I think that itsalso in the trivia on this page. For the record, it is pronounced"Zizzix"

Can't wait to get my DVD!

This film is awesome especially for those that like hanging on the edgeof their seat! I was so surprised at the ending. I spoke with somefriends who also watched it today and we all seem to pick up differentthings and have a different take on it. I plan to watch it againtonight on my computer while it's still streaming for free. It'sdefinitely one of those movies that you have to watch more than once. Iknow each time I watch it I'm going to pick up something that I missed.I'm glad I ordered the DVD, which remarkably was only $5.After I watch it one more time, I'm going to come back and post amessage where others who have seen it can give their opinions on whatwas going on. IF any of the filmmakers are on this board and care togive us some hints, that would be helpful! :o) Or perhaps they chosefor us to draw our own conclusions.

Guilty Complex

The family man accountant Grant (Leo Grillo) travels to Los Angeles andmeets the lascivious "Lolita" Marissa (Katherine Heigl) in a casino.While in the motel with Marissa, her violent ex-boyfriend Joey (TomSizemore) surprises them on the bed, hits Grant on the head, but hekills Joey. Grant brings Joey's body to bury in the desert Zyzzyx Road,but after digging a grave, he finds that the body is missing in thetrunk of his car. Grant chases Joey with a shovel in the desert, andwhen he finds the man hidden in a abandoned mine, Joey discloses asecret about Marissa.I bought "Zyzzyx Rd" on DVD without any expectations and I really likedthis low-budget movie. The story begins theatrical, claustrophobic andintriguing; there are two surprising twists and a tragic conclusionafter disclosing the guilty complex of Grant. I like this type of filmswhere screenplay, direction and performances prevail over a high budgetand special effects. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): "Estrada da Morte" ("Road of the Death")
