* {{Padding}}: This movie doesn't have two hours of actual content, just a lot of dragged-out and pointless shots.
* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: The story of two guys wandering through the desert could have (further) incorporated elements of the effects it has on them. Such examples could be expanding on the mirage and giving the characters some actual background. Instead, we just get a lot of walking and pointless scenery shots.

EDW is Definition-Only now.


* EightDeadlyWords: The movie really doesn't give the audience '''any''' motivation to care for the two, as what little dialogue is awashed by entire stretches of silence and the whole situation being caused by their incredible shortsightedness. In the end, the movie only serves as a test for patience.

* DarknessInducedAudienceApathy: The movie really doesn't give the audience '''any''' motivation to care for the two, as what little dialogue is awashed by entire stretches of silence and the whole situation being caused by their incredible shortsightedness. In the end, the movie only serves as a test for patience.
