I honestly do not know what the filmmaker's objective was here. Alice is the supposed protagonist who apparently is trapped by a trigger happy psycho (who served in the military) on a killing rampage and somehow is fixated on Alice and wants to kill her.
I almost immediately disliked Alice when it was revealed early on she was having an affair with a coworker. Even as she gave her sop story about being told what to do by her dad, her husband and her boss, and her diabolical explanation about why she was having an affair and I quote: "I'm not having an affair because I'm in love, I'm having an affair because I'm in pain" failed to get empathy from me or convince me that somehow she is damaged goods.
The killer seemed to know a lot about Alice. She did her best to refute his allegations/ assumptions, but again, that did not convince me.
The movie failed to entertain me on all levels some of which I highlighted above. The little girl at the end was pretty weird. After Alice told her to run she just lingered on and took a really good look at Alice killing the killer and dying herself before she burst into a run followed by end credits, where I had a massive what the hell moment.
For a really good thriller which is gas station themed I highly recommend Open 24 Hours starring the talented Vanessa Grasse and Emily Tennant.
