Yep,” Stranded” (2001) is a standard formula crash on Mars. They do not attempt to slowly reveal the plot. It is an in-your-face yep someone's gotta go who gets to pick, and where do they go story. But you knew this before you bought this movie.
Even though this film is foreign and some of the acting and reading are stilted, we’re still fascinated with the interaction of the characters and how they are going to get from point A to point Z. The film does not have to be original or professional; all it has to do is hold our attention and show us its version of the well-known story.
The two points that stand out to me are, first, how Luca Baglioni (Vincent Gallo) wants to spend his dying moments with Jenny Johnson (Maria de Medeiros). We could've “made book” on that answer. The second, which might've been a little drawn out, but I enjoyed it anyway, was the reference to Barsoom and Barsoom’s characters; I half expected John Carter to pop out from behind the rocks.
