I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Eddie (a fine and credible performance by Luke Goss) gets forced at gunpoint by the ruthless and vengeful Jimmy (superbly played with total conviction and fierce intensity by the always dependable Lance Henriksen) into the Mojave Desert where Jimmy has set up a series of traps and challenges in order to test the limits of Eddie's endurance and survival instincts. Is Eddie just a victim of hapless circumstance? Or does Jimmy have a valid reason for putting Eddie through this punishing ordeal? Director Brett A. Hart, who also co-wrote the crafty and absorbing script with Jeff O'Brien, relates the gripping story at a steady pace, makes the most out of the dusty'n'desolate isolated setting, ably milks plenty of sweat-inducing suspense from the edgy game of cat and mouse between the two central characters, delivers a few jolting moments of raw brutal violence, and tops everything off with a cool surprise twist ending that effectively shifts the viewer's sympathies from one person to another. The strong acting by Goss and Henriksen keeps the picture humming, with Henriksen a particular stand-out throughout as the relentless and determined Jimmy. Popping up in nifty small parts are Dee Wallace as friendly diner waitress Joanne, Tommy 'Tiny' Lister as menacing thug Mitch, and Carl Buffington as eccentric New Age drug dealer Marty. Scott Glasgow's moody score further pumps up the tension. The striking yellow-hued cinematography by John Darbonne and Kevin G. Ellis vividly captures the unsparing severity of the merciless desert heat. A real nice nail-biter.

Lance Henrikson admirers will be happy to know that he delivers another solid performance. Unfortunately the script keeps him in the shadows for most of the film, as the mysterious torturer of Luke Goss. "Bone Dry" is a classic example of a no surprise surprise ending, and why everything is revealed in the trailer is another mystery? At times, the film really doesn't play fair with the audience, especially in the beginning, where you get the distinct impression that Henrickson's and Goss's characters never met. The script is underdeveloped, redundant, and about fifteen minutes belongs on the cutting room floor. Marginally recommended, except for squeamish viewers who might want to avoid the sadism. - MERK

(There are Spoiler) Strange to say the least the film "Bone Dry" keeps you guessing to just what's going on between the two stars in it Eddie, Luke Goss, and Jimmy, Lance Heriksen, for almost the entire movie.Eddie driving through the bone dry and sun soaked Mojave Desert, the hottest and lowest place in the Continental USA, is suddenly knocked out from behind and then after regaining consciousness is put through the ringer by his, for the most part, unseen and slightly crazed antagonist Jimmy. Jimmy in spite of his mindless and sadistic actions later turns out to be a man with a plan. A plan that Jimmy had in the works and perfected over the last two years.We get a number of hints in the film to why Jimmy has it in for the likable and what seems like harmless as a kitty cat Eddie. The hints are so confusing and disjointed that the film has to go into high gear, and add about ten more minutes, to explain to its audience just what's going on! P.S Before you see the movie "Bone Dry" do everything possible to avoid it's pre-released trailer. "Bone Dry's" movie trailer in fact gives away the the surprise ending before you even get a chance to see the movie!Forced, by a gleeful Jimmy, to find his way back to civilization before he falls prey to the wild animals, rattlesnakes & scorpions, or blistering heat and thirst of the unfriendly Mojave Desert Eddie, with a compass and walkie-talkie that Jimmy provided for him, treks his way north. North to Southern California and the main desert highway, where he can hitch-hike a ride, leading into the very populated golden state.Insane from thirst and being tortured by Jimmy, mostly from afar, Eddie makes it almost home when he runs into Marty,Carl Buffington, a love-child or hippie-like weirdo whom he first mistakes for Jimmy. It later turns out that the harmless looking Marty is anything but hippie-like when Eddie runs into his two friends big bad and black, at 6 foot 5 inch and 230 pound, Mitch played by Tiny, because he's so big, Lister and his big mouth but pea-brain partner Price, Chad Stalcup.***SPOILER ALERT From THIS POINT ON*** These two bumbling but very dangerous guys are trying to make a living by dealing in coke and doing, together with their double-talking advance man Marty, a not so good job at it.It just about then, after Eddie's encounter with Mitch & Price, that we get an inkling to what the heck the movie is all about, and just what's Jimmy's involvement in all this, and it's somewhat of a letdown. It' not that the ending of "Bone Dry" is not effective but were put through so much by Jimmy's crazy antics that we by then completely lost any sympathy for the guy. And that's in spite of what he went through that lead him commit the inhuman and despicable crimes all throughout the movie!

*SPOILER*The story here is simple. Luke Goss (Blade II, rubbish 80s boy band Bros) is held at gunpoint in the desert, given a compass and map by Lance Henriksen and told to head north. Henriksen turns out to be a very nasty character indeed, torturing Goss with water deprivation, burial in sand, and in one very Saw inspired sequence, a cactus and a pair of handcuffs.The problem is that the film simply doesn't maintain the suspense long enough. The dialogue is uneven and repetitive (amusingly highlighted by Henriksen's character himself at one point) and the addition of three needless characters do nothing but stretch out an already flimsy premise to breaking point. Very early on there are pieces of dialogue dropped in, leading you far too quickly to arrive at the conclusion that Luke Goss may not actually be a very nice chap himself.It's not entirely without it's charms though. Lance Henriksen is on top form (very reminiscent of his Near Dark character at some points), Goss himself is pretty decent, and you really do feel the suffocating desert heat, but by the time the conclusion arrives along with it's glaringly obvious "twist" you're just left with the feeling it was merely a padded out episode of Alfred Hitchcock Presents.
