So, a woman who is dating a controlling abusive man, and she is having an affair with an old friend. The couple, this man, and a another male who is an old friend of the woman spend the day at a quarry. She shuns her boyfriend. The lover is agitated. Boyfriend seethes. Violence occurs. The woman is helpless. The abuser is insecure. The lover wants to ride in as a White Knight savior. The other friend is texting to get a "hot woman" he wants to have sex with to come to the quarry.

Whew! That's a lot of nothing. I'm not dismissing the need to understand domestic violence and be available to be supportive, take action, protect, etc. This movie unfortunately doesn't add anything new or serious; it simply depicts this dynamic and then creates drama for the sake of the movie. And it takes forever to get there.

Oh and there is some analogy related to turtles that doesn't make any sense I could find. Or maybe it was just a piece of random information that was added to the film. I don't know.

In the Quarry (2019) is a Uruguay thriller that I recently watched on Prime. The storyline follows a couple that go on a trip to a quarry camping out with some friends. A strange tension forms between the couples until someone snaps and things get out of hand...

This movie is co-written and directed by Rafael and Bernardo Antonaccio in their major motion picture debut. This stars Paula Silva (Ghosting Gloria), Rafael Beltrán (Milonga) and Augusto Gordillo Lisboa.

This is a movie that takes way too long to get going. There storyline just drags and the ending was a let down. The entire film is shot at one location. The first hour of the movie is just swimming and talking; however, when things start happening I was entertained. There are some good scenes with a knife and a solid fishing hook sequence ?. Those elements were done well. This does have subtitles.

Overall, this movie drags and takes too long before anything happens. I would score this a 3/10 and recommend skipping it.
