Crazy is building the ark after the flood has already come

Rating: 10/10 (28 November 2017)

Michelle (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) breaks up with Ben (Bradley Cooper voice) and heads on down the highway while "events" are going on believed to be power surges from fracking. After being forced off the road, she wakes up with an IV, injured knee, chained to a cot in the premo bomb shelter of Howard (John Goodman) a "black belt in conspiracy theories." He claims the air outside is poisonous. She also occupies the shelter with Emmett (John Gallagher Jr.) a local who helped build the shelter.
Howard is strange and Michelle doubts his story of Russians or aliens poisoning our air. Howard rules with an iron fist and Michell fears for her life, trapped between the devil she knows and the one that may be outside.
The film was an interesting concept. I wished they had played a clip from the 1961 Twilight Zone episode "The Shelter" on Howard's TV instead of "Pretty in Pink." As always, Goodman delivers. Definitely worth adding to the collection.
