the leading man is my tpye

Good start, but then it gets ruined

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.

A great little survival Thriller with a cast of great characters!!! A bunch of people on a coach on xmas eve are traveling through texas when an accident causes a gang of psycho bikers to attack the coach & it runs off the lonesome road & into an old junkyard & there is where it gets really exciting. Desmond Harrington from Wrong Turn & Ghost Ship is one of the passengers & he's really cool in this & brings yet another good & serious performance to his ordinary guy role. Fred Ward is also really great as an old timer from the Army tracking one of the passengers down, we also have some incredible performances from some very strong women characters like from lea Thompson!!! A great small cast trying to find weapons & survive the night against faceless evil bikers & IT'S great fun, the type of easy watching late night Thriller that's made on a tiny budget but with real heart

It's Christmas in Texas. Military Police Archie Sparks (Fred Ward) is hunting AWOL Corporal Meredith Cole (Julie Mond). She escapes and boards a bus with a variety of passengers. The bus is harassed by a passing biker gang. One of the bikes fall over and the bus runs over it. The biker starts shooting killing the bus driver and others. They manage to kill the biker but the rest of his friends come looking for revenge. They drive into an isolated scrap yard and must fend off the criminals.The story is thin and worthy of any number of B-movies. It's not that believable in the age of cell phones and interconnectivity. The whole movie isn't that realistic. The biker gang seems more like central casting rejects. It's a cross between Mad Max 2 and Home Alone. The junk yard is stock full of MacGyver material. There is some cat-and-mouse stuff in the night. It does have some fun 80s action. There are some solid actors here doing it for the paychecks.

Exit Speed was an interesting movie. It seemed like something that would come on a Saturday afternoon in the late 70's. I thought in the beginning , what in the world is this gonna be about because I refuse to read the back of the box (so to say) I like to be taken by surprise and with this choice I was. It keep you watching and rooting for the good guys.To put a small synopsis there for you I will say that it was about passengers on a bus that was kidnapped and thru their strengths, weakness, talents, and idiosyncrasies, they band together to survive this crack smoking, nose piercing, biker group from Hell.I liked it and I think you will too.

I was excited about seeing this movie after noticing that a few actors I really enjoy watching were part of the cast. However, less than 15 minutes into the movie I had already punctured both my eardrums with icepicks and was bleeding from the ears profusely. The score, which had to have been done on a Casio keyboard, was so terrible that it accomplished nothing but sending me on a murderous rage at my local Blockbuster. A good score works in sync with the plot of a movie and helps invoke the emotions that the director is trying to make the audience feel. Well, I felt sick. Shame on you, Doug Westerman. Shame on you.
