Verdict on Rent-A-Man

Rent-A-Man is a thriller following two strangers going into the desert. One has paid for the company of the other, however, the mystery as to why they are so remote takes over the story. It all leads to a series of conversations that could hold the secret about what is wanted by the meeting.

This is an interesting thriller that keeps us guessing as to what the meeting is truly about. It has a feeling similar to the Matt Damon and Casey Affleck movie ‘Gerry’. The lead performances are great and keep the audience engaged with their conversations. This ends up being an interesting story, that keeps you on tender hooks about what is really going on.

Final Thoughts – Rent-A-Man is a compelling journey between strangers.
