Most people that have taken frequent road trips with their family can recall at least one occasion when things didn’t go to plan. However, many people cannot attest to being far from home, being witness to a murder and then being chased down by the murderer. That’s precisely what happens in the new Queen Latifah film, End of the Road.
Not only does Latifah’s character in the movie find herself doing whatever she can to survive, but she also has to muster the strength to protect her family in the process. Unfortunately, the actress’ character in the new film won’t be able to utilize the skillset of Latifah’s Robyn McCall from the hit series The Equalizer.
Here’s everything we know about End of the Road.
When is the End of the Road release date?
