Movie Haiku:The three women who used to be a tight-knit trio head off on a weekend excursion that mimics a whole season of SURVIVOR compressed into ~ 90 minutes. Aselton as filmmaker/star is terrific. Watching her transform from bitch to warrior made every bloody, gory minute worth watching, plus also Jan thinks her story has deliberate metaphorical implications. Not yet seen by Rich.
