The breakdown: A Nevada motel during a torrential rainstorm gives safe haven to 10 strangers who suddenly realize they are getting murdered one by one.

Ah this could've been such a great movie with a surprise ending.
The plot here is that through happenstance 10 strangers come together at an isolated Nevada motel because there's a terrible rain storm outside and most of the streets are completely flooded.  There's a limo driver, who used to be a cop, driving his client, a has been actress.  There's a couple who just got married that day.  There's a prostitute on her way home to Florida.  There's a middle-aged couple with a stepchild.  There's a cop transporting his convict, and the manager of the motel. 
Well let's start with the good stuff.  The acting was good and I enjoyed the story up until the end.  There are a few points where I was really wondering what was going on and was interested to see what was going to happen next.  But that ending, I'm not going to ruin it for you.  I will just say they should've stopped the movie at a certain point and it would've been a great ending and a great movie.  Instead, they pushed it a bit farther and it made the entire movie crap and the ending was unintentionally funny.  Very very sad on the screenwriters part and the director for keeping the ending the way it was.  This movie is pretty unique and I didn't expect the story to turn out the way it did, but it was refreshing (removing the crap ending of course).
The bad, well, it's really that bad of an ending where the audience is just like, why did you have to go and do that to a perfectly good movie?  Why ruin it that way, really?
Up until the end, I was really enjoying it.
I can't say too much if I'm not to reveal the end, but I enjoyed 95% of it.
If you've ever been on the fence, I say watch it, but do so cheaply.  Don't pay too much for it.

3 out of 5 ticket stubs because of the God awful stupid ending.
