Road Rage (2000)

Great visuals, story delivers no surprises

An action-packed slog

it is the rare 'crazy' movie that actually has something to say.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is movie is crap beyond crap. I will only mention a few points here as to why I think this movie is crap, as it is a long time since I saw it. Here goes:As several others have noted why does these characters go to college, they all appear to be about 30+ years old. And the car chase...The chase would never have started if Casper van Dien had en't cut that car of 3 times!! And all the time whining about the nut-case in the truck. And later when they are on foot, Casper suggests that they walk in a river so that their pursuers wouldn't be able to follow their tracks...COME ON!!! How stupid is that! City slickers racing along in a big pickup truck at 50mph+ are not going to notice the tracks of two persons on foot. The editing was crap, one moment the cars are all banged up, and the next they are fine again. Using the same cuts several times over. Dialogue was crap, and so was the acting.Despite these and a multitude of other factors (also crap)this film was fun to watch...in a frustrating and painful way. If you like crappy movies then this is probably one of the best round.

Boy, am I in the minority about this particular film. You see, I thought this movie was a lot of good, silly, rousing fun. Sure, it's a cheesy B-picture, but it does the trick and delivers the stirring goods, which makes it a solid film in my book. Okay, with that obligatory explanation stuff out of the way let's get on with this here review.After they accidentally cut off an ominous giant black pick-up truck on the highway, both dashing limousine driver Jim Travis (firmly played by perennial straight-to-cable TV feature topliner Casper Van Dien) and his fetching female passenger Sonia Walker (the very cute Danielle Brett) end up being relentlessly terrorized on an isolated patch of sticksville mountainside backroads by the pick-up's dangerously unbalanced and irritable wombat driver. Veteran director Sidney J. Furie tackles the admittedly trite "Duel" rehash material with commendable flair and aptitude, keeping the pace sprightly and unwavering throughout, creating a reasonable amount of tension, and staging several truly spectacular bash 'em, crash 'em and smash 'em up car chases and automobile stunts with smack dead on-target exciting results. Moreover, both leads turn in personable performances, the dialogue possesses real snap and wit, there are a few genuinely startling plot twists, the blaring rock score totally smokes, and, most importantly, we've got no pretense whatsoever to be found in a single fleet frame of this amazingly vigorous and galvanizing little beaut.

This is nothing to do and you're too drunk to turn the channel movie. Its watchable but not a good movie. Any guy willing to jack up his ride for a plain Jane brunette either has serious personal issues or not all his dogs are barking. Its a movie you can watch only once and realized you just wasted an hour and half of your life where you could have been drinking more beer. The thing I hate the movie it the end. I wonder if these people were just hungry for a pay check cause you knew from the first few minutes of this movie it wasn't going any where. I realized there are some movies made to be filmed and others that are just a waste of film.

Here's a movie that's hard to watch, but easy to review.Acting = so wooden that it stinks. Likeability of characters = so self-centered that they stink. Story = so derivative and transparent that it stinks. Plot = so predictable that it stinks. Writing/dialog = not good enough to stink. Action scenes = so ridiculous that they stink.A few people rated this movie a "10". I think they must include the director, producers, actors, maybe even the electricians who worked on this movie. But they must have had a few drinks, or no conscience when they voted. 2 stars out of 10(3 stars if you've had a few drinks, or no conscience.).
