Hazel (Bella Thorne) suffers from debilitating agoraphobia. Her mother Dee (Kyra Sedgwick) takes her to a desert treatment center. She is transported in a box inside a van along with other passengers. Suddenly, the van is attacked by sibling bandits and a girl is kidnapped. In order to save her dying mother, Hazel faces her fears to find help.Not enough happens to make this thrilling. The characters are split up. They set up something but more needs to be done with it. It climaxes with a convoluted Mexican standoff. Much of it is unreasonable but mostly, it lacks tension or thrills.

From thequickflickcritic.blogspot.com/ I am forever a sucker for movies set in the wide open expanse of the American west. This penchant is what sucked me into seeing the low budget dramatic thriller "Big Sky".Now admittedly I don't know what severe agoraphobia looks like. But I imagine that Bella Thorne does a pretty damn good job of depicting how this insidious psychological affliction debilitates and paralyzes those who can not bear interaction with the outside world. And Kyra Sedgwick as her less-than-model yet loving mom and the consummate acting pro is first-rate despite being rendered incapacitated early on in the proceedings. There's your propers, kids. The rest of "Big Sky" is so implausible, inexplicable or just downright impossible it loses it's way pretty quickly, never to regain any true traction.Make it a big whiff on "Big Sky".

So..i found this movie on Netflix and thought why not.I haven't see any Bella Thorne movies beside commercials for Disney before. So it probably wont be terrible? And of course I was really loving it, when I realized the "Closer" was in this movie.I'm basically in between about this movie because it seems pretty interesting when they are giving you clues to piece together. Also, it was nice seeing emotional side with the mother-daughter relationship and Hazel trying to overcoming her struggle . But, then some questions are never answered. It's really confusing. Why were they attacked? Why kidnapped that "klepto girl? What were with the water flashbacks? What was the point of the crazy guy in the desert? So, basically in the end, I am just wondering what is going on in this movie?

Without Kyra Sedgwick and Bella Thorne, this film would not be worth watching. Although it contains a fair amount of suspense, it is very hard to follow. The male characters, including Frank Grillo, stumble through the dialogue. A little more "realistic" action would have been great. I give this film a six out of ten rating because of the fantastic desert scenery, and the female cast. I would have liked for the film to go a little more in depth as far as what treatment is available for the condition that afflicted the actress Bella Thorne. Not too many people are familiar with "Agoraphobia" and how serious it can be. All being said, I would watch this film a second time, and would probably enjoy it more.
