Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense

Nessieldwi Very interesting film. Was caught on the premise when seeing the trailer but unsure as to what the outcome would be for the showing. As it turns out, it was a very good film.

Kaydan Christian A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Paul Magne Haakonsen When this movie started, I went 'oh no, not another "Fast and Furious" car movie'. And I believe that thought was spurred on by Paul Walker starring in it and from the DVD movie's cover.But luckily "Vehicle 19" turned out to be so much more better in terms of storyline and having a solid script, which definitely put most of the "Fast and Furious" movies to shame.Sure, it may not have the big fancy cars and the special effects that "Fast and Furious" has, but it is still managing to stand very well on its own.There definitely is a good amount of action and car chases in the movie. When you combine that with a properly thought through storyline, then you get a movie that actually is worth watching."Vehicle 19" has some good acting performances, although the cast was a relatively small ensemble of actors and actresses.If you enjoy car movies and enjoyed Paul Walker in movies, then "Vehicle 19" is definitely well worth checking out.

SnoopyStyle Michael Woods (Paul Walker) is on parole after being released from an American prison. He breaks parole to go to Johannesburg, South Africa to find his ex-wife Angie. He picks up the wrong rental car at the airport. He finds a phone and a gun. He is about to abandon the car at a junkyard when he gets a call from police detective Smith. Smith gives him an address to swap cars. Michael gets hopelessly lost and then he finds Rachel Shabangu bound in the back of the minivan.Michael proclaims that "This is Crazy!" I feel the same way about the movie. It makes no sense why he would keep the woman prisoner. He should just let her go and clean up whatever fingerprints are on the car. Every move makes less sense. The character is an idiot and Paul Walker does not really play idiots well. I do mean idiot as in mentally deficient. There is nothing holding him to the situation. This is very manufactured which drains all tension from the drama and the action. It doesn't matter how well it's film or how exciting are the car chases. The character simply doesn't make sense.

juneebuggy This was okay if somewhat bland "action thriller" Set entirely in Johannesburg, South Africa it follows Paul Walker (sigh) as he becomes the target of a massive police manhunt after picking up a rental car with a female whistle-blower locked in the trunk.The film does an excellent job showing the ins and outs of the city, while slowly revealing the plot as it goes along, which was fine with me, I like figuring things out this way. The entire movie has been shot and takes place inside the rental car, its an interesting premise, along the lines of Colin Farrell's "Phone Booth" unfortunately Vehicle 19 loses itself in the delivery and I'll admit that this film had trouble holding my interest for the duration.Walker does a decent enough job with his (mostly) one man show, he's brooding, a sort of anti-hero type. There are some okay action scenes too considering the limitations of his character never leaving the minivan, in fact he doesn't even stand up, remaining seated for the duration. There are a couple of car chases through the city streets but this is no 'Fast and Furious' with an obvious low budget and despite the fact that its been dubbed a "nonstop thrill ride" its really not. 2/22/16

brgn Initially, the movie seemed very appealing: a high-octane, car-chase-filled movie starring Paul Walker, combined with the novel idea of shooting a film entirely from within a vehicle.Now, I don't like to over-analyse films - I don't care about 'character development' or anything like that - I just want a film to grab my attention for a few hours. Vehicle 19 failed to do this.Right from the start, you'll be frustrated. The main character makes stupid decision after stupid decision, lacking an ounce of sense - it's almost worth watching the start to realise how ridiculous it is.So these actions end up to him being on the run (as you'll see from the trailers), but it's the total opposite of being action-packed. The few short car chases involve Paul Walker driving a 7-seat minivan, so car enthusiasts stay clear - no Fast&Furious-style gearshifts or handbrake turns... The plot itself does liven up a bit eventually, but not enough to save the movie.In short: boring, unrealistic, flat. I normally like poorly rated titles on IMDb, so I was pretty sceptical when I saw the reviews for this. But it really is underwhelming. As someone else so rightly said, you're better off just watching the trailer 40 times. So much more gripping.
