A surprisingly dark and adult story which is sort of a Neo western murder mystery thriller. The film has an uneasy edge to it, its surprisingly frank and gruesome in places, quite menacing, it all looks good too, effects are done practically, the hot desert like location provides a great sense of isolation from safety and civilisation. Drew Barrmore is also really good in the film and there's a real sense of danger to it which she herself can't help but be drawn into. The script has enough twists and turns also to keep you interested. I'm surprised by the bad reviews, if the film makes you uncomfortable that's perhaps because it's meant to.
