Directed by: John Dahl
Starring: Steve Zahn, Paul Walker, Leelee Sobieski, Jessica Bowman
Continuity mistake: When Rusty Nail has the car pinned up against the tree, his truck breaks the windows. The driver's side window is completely broken in one shot, however when Rusty leaves, the window is shattered but largely intact.
Continuity mistake: During the cornfield scene, there is at least one point where the spotlight on the truck is off, but then on again.
Continuity mistake: The antenna of the CB radio switches sides on the car continuously.
Fuller Thomas: Do what I do. Just remind yourself that in a hundred years you're gonna be dead. It's the closest thing I've got to a philosophy.
Trivia: Eric Stoltz was nearly cast for the role of "Rusty Nail", but director John Dahl felt Stoltz didn't sound scary and intense enough so the part was given to Dahl's first choice, Ted Levine.
Question: Why did Rusty attack the guy in room 17 when he did nothing wrong? He would've figured out pretty quickly that the only car in the parking lot with a CB antenna attached to it was the one parked outside room 18. This is confirmed by the fact that he followed the car after Lewis and Fuller leave the motel. So why attack an innocent guy?

Answer: Because Rusty Nail was a psychopath. That and he must have felt physically threatened. And the innocent guy was mouthing off. Hence, the jaw removal.
