Anthony Hopkins and Skarsgard lead this psychological thriller on Netflix.

Haven’t watched it yet but it’s the american version of an argentinian movie from 2019.

An outcast tries to break into an SUV only to discover it’s a trap. The owner, tired of everyday lawlessness and abuse just wanted to trap a thief and make him suffer.

Original movie is mostly dialogue, Hopkins should only show up at the very end.

Good enough to kill an hour or two. Low budget, static, claustrophobic setup.

My review from Letterboxd:

Review by LastCubScout ★★

How do you make an interesting movie about a guy trapped in a car for multiple days? Oh, you can't! I did like this one slightly better than the original 4X4. I didn't need those extra scenes to make Bill Skarsgård's protagonist more sympathetic, but of course they were gonna do that in this remake. I prefer to side with Anthony Hopkins's character. I hate criminals too. If I was him, though, I'd go for quantity rather than concentrating all my effort on one solitary dude. It really bothered me how, in four days, Skarsgård and Hopkins never engaged in a regular conversation, like, "What's your favorite restaurant around here?" It's just that stereotypical movie antagonist relationship full of constant taunts and yelling, for four whole days!

I did like that bit in the second half with the self-driving crime fighting car. Maybe that should've been the real movie.

Hopkins was nice enough to get Skarsgård that Insomnia Cookie halfway through the movie. Those are awesome, even if that one didn't come straight from the oven. I mean, he could've just tossed him some Chips Ahoy or Oreos.
