Buried in Barstow (2022 TV Movie)
3/10
Did I really just see someone compare this to early Tarantino?

Haha don't take these Lifetime regular reviewers seriously. What may seem like a "Tarantino" flick to those who watch Lifetime, I can assure anyone who's actually ever watched one of his films that this is nothing of the sort.

While it's good to see Angie Harmon getting some work these days, and she does a very passable job in Buried in Barstow, only one other cast member in this has any acting chops (male lead). Well, other than the child actors, they were good.

I found myself checking how much run time was left every few minutes after about the 30 minute mark it was that boring. It's super cliche to say that this is 2 hours I'll never get back, but in this case it's just true.

All of which is to say that unless you're incredibly bored, or unless you're a regular Lifetime viewer looking for a slightly more edgy offering, this one can be safely skipped.

3/10 on the overall scale 7.5/10 on the Lifetime Channel scale.
