Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
... View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
... View MoreI enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

I don't know about anyone else, but I have to pee at least every 2 hours. Do you think they took their pee breaks together? Anyway, this was an awful movie. There were obviously other cars on the road and houses / city lights at many points in the movie. No place other than maybe Alaska would be this remote to drive for hours on end with no human life. A complete waste of my time and I don't often feel that way. I always try to find the good in movies.
... View MoreHow sad for the people who made this film. A complete rip-off of the 1970's film Duel directed by Spielburg which was so much better then this wanna be. I'm sure they didn't have to spend too much on making this garbage. Everyone involved should be embarrassed and never hired to make another piece of crap again. Anyone who likes this movie has absolutely no taste and should never review a film again.
... View MoreThis movie begins with two young ladies named "Emily Kirk" (Anna Hutchison) and "Leslie McQueen" (Andrea Whitburn) driving fast in a red Ford Mustang on a two-lane road somewhere in the Pacific Northwest on their way to Sacramento. As it so happens, they soon come upon a tow truck pulling another vehicle and without much thought Emily decides to pass even though they are in a no passing zone. It's only later when they pull over for gas that Emily notices that the tow truck has also chosen to pull into the same service station as them. Although she doesn't get a good look at the driver she reflects on things for a minute before eventually dismissing everything as being just a simple coincidence. However, upon leaving the gas station this same tow truck not only only passes them but begins to drive extremely dangerously as well. It's then that both Emily and Leslie come to the horrific conclusion that the driver of this tow truck is crazy and that he is quite intent upon killing both of them. Now rather than reveal any more I will just say that this film is essentially a remake of the 1971 made-for-television movie "Duel" which starred Dennis Weaver as the innocent driver being harassed by a psychotic trucker in a semi carrying diesel fuel. On that note, while this particular remake certainly wasn't a bad movie by any means, I have to say that the original film had more suspense and was the better of the two. That being said I have rated this film accordingly. Average.
... View MoreThis film nearly gave me a stroke. I found myself screaming at the television. This movie seemed more about the two imbeciles following the truck instead of the reverse. Never in my 54 years have I ever rooted more heavily for both of these numb skulls to be killed,,,and horribly. They were totally incompetent drivers and this film should have lasted a total of 15 minutes, as soon as these bubble heads passed the truck the first time they should have put at least 200 miles between themselves and the tow truck towing the station wagon before sundown. Next they drive right up to the abandoned car in their lane instead of passing it on the left and going about their way, why would they feel its their duty to move a disabled car from the roadway, especially when they are being pursued by a psychopathic tow truck driver? Whats also irritated me is how this tow truck seemed to have stealth qualities and managed to run people down without hearing a sound until they became hood ornaments.Then there's the idiot blonde standing there holding the dead Cop's pistol while psycho driver backs up slowly, hooks up the Police vehicle and saunters away as if hes driving through a school parking lot without her attempting to save her friend. THEN, at the end she saw her dead pal in the trunk of her car, walks up to the cab with wheels spinning(BTW Tow rigs are NOT front wheel drive so why the front wheels were spinning ill never figure that one out?)She stands there like a total MORON when she should have emptied the clip into the drivers window or at least shot out his tires so as to FINALLY disable the rig, once and for all. She backs up into the rig with her dead pal in the trunk (So much for respecting your dead pal, huh?)THEN drives away with her inside the trunk so somewhere down the road she can be stopped by Police for broken taillights along with a dead Cop's service pistol in her possession as well as a dead woman inside her now smashed trunk. This movie went from bad to worse and never looked back, there's a reason the lead imbecile was a bleach blonde. The director and the writer of this story should be banned from making future films.
