Best suited to viewers looking for Thriller. Its shorter runtime also makes it easier to fit into one sitting.

Essentially a Roadtrip movie with heavy criminal elements, _Cactus_ feels incomplete. Many of the great films of the modern era are seen as such specifically **because** they don't give the audience answers, _Cactus_ however feels more like it has straight-forward missing pieces, the ones that would get us across the line to fully invested in the story.
Even so, it's a watchable piece, with no more hideously glaring faults than memorable moments.
_Final rating:★★½ - Had a lot that appealed to me, didn’t quite work as a whole._
