When a blackout hits, it doesn't take long before Matthew (Kyle MacLachlan) and Annie (Elisabeth Shue) start breaking the law to protect themselves as they steal medicine for their sick child. But when the power stays out for several days and violence erupts, both the couple and their friend, Joe (Dermot Mulroney), decide that the best action is driving to Annie's parents' home. During the long road trip, they must stop to steal gasoline — but those with resources are desperately guarding them. I really enjoyed the film and it’s very underrated and it makes us wonder what would happen if for days on end when a long blackout hits what would we do in a situation like this. Kyle MacLachlan I thought he did good in the role a stand up guy trying to help his baby get medicine and of course be with his wife played by Elisabeth Shue, it’s a different role for him considering he plays villainous character roles. If you haven’t seen the film check it out.
