Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Catherina If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

Leofwine_draca This dull television movie only serves as a reminder to us how good the original car chase thriller, DUEL, was. In fact, this film is derivative of that in every way, even incorporating parts of John Carpenter's CHRISTINE en route (no pun intended) but still managing to come out inferior in every respect. The first half of the film is a boring, clichéd view of small town life where absolutely nothing happens, apart from the sun shining into the lens of the camera and boring people going about their humdrum lives. I was very disappointed by this lacklustre opening but finally things did pick up in the second half, which is basically a long chase scene in the mountains and desert, a la DUEL. Although this part of the film looks cheap and rubbish compared to Spielberg's classic, it is at least mildly entertaining and better than the atrocious first half.The trouble is that the film is poorly made and rips off other films too much. In some instances the director goes for a John Woo-style slow motion but it just makes the film look stupid instead of stylish. Joanna Cassidy is truly an atrocious actress and her attempts at screaming are embarrassing to watch, incredibly asinine, and all round annoying. I had to look away sometimes. There are no other actors in the film to speak of, apart from the grey sedan which does assume a life of its own in a way seeing as we never meet the driver (which is quite disappointing too). The car is admittedly suspicious looking.There are a couple of good scenes in the film, for instance one where the car hits a policeman who goes flying up in the air (the actor playing him was a stuntman so I guess he did that all himself). Also, there is an incredibly stupid and cheesy ending where the paedophile's car flies off a cliff (hmm, maybe the director of this film saw the ending of DUEL here?) and then happens to land on a big building full of explosives which was just sitting there underneath it. However the rest of the chase is dull, the cars aren't going fast enough, and there's just not enough to hold the attention. This is the kind of humdrum, mundane, thinks-its-good American film which I absolutely hate. It only serves as a reminder of how good the other films it rips off are. Don't waste your time with this stinker.

a_baron "Wheels Of Terror" is a rather improbable tale focusing on one of the major themes of the modern action film: the chase. A beat up, blacked out but seemingly indestructible automobile is being driven around a rural American town by a psychopathic child molester who is snatching young girls off the street, sexually abusing them, and then letting them go. Until the next missing girl is found in the river, which makes it a whole new ball game.The protagonist of our invisible fiend is a lady school bus driver, a single mother who has relocated to the countryside to raise her daughter away from the pernicious influences of the big city, but who is surely questioning the wisdom of that move now the bad guy has kidnapped guess who?So what does the film have to offer? Apart from the slow motion chases there are one or two fairly spectacular scenes, but the showdown is too silly for words. There is no side plot, indeed no plot worthy of the name, no resolution, no anything.

moogyboy O. My. God. Is. This. Movie. Horrible.That about illustrates what about 90% of this bit of telecinematic roadkill plays like. Slow-motion camera, used normally, acts as a kind of exclamation point to an action scene. Here it's used so much that it becomes and ectoplasmic sludge of periods and ellipses. Here are some of the things this technique manages not to render in stark dramatic relief: 1) Lots of things exploding.2) Joanna Cassidy screaming.3) Joanna Cassidy's daughter screaming. ("Mommyyyy!!")4) Joanna Cassidy's school bus careening around the desert.5) An "evil-looking" *snicker* black Dodge Charger careening around the desert after Joanna Cassidy's school bus.6) More things exploding.7) Everything in between the above items.Needless to say, not a whole lot going on here. Probably a good 20 minutes of action footage in real time, along with a requisite but lame set-up story. What our brilliant director has done is take an action sequence and stretch it out enough to fill two hours of precious USA Network airtime. Not pad it out...STRETCH it out--literally, like a piece of Silly Putty, till you can see right through it. I guess the framing storyline qualifies as padding, on second thought, since it does fill out the allotted time, adds some exposition, and is absolutely inconsequential enough that it doesn't stick in my memory.The only thing about the acting that I do distinctly remember is Joanna Cassidy screaming in realtime on the soundtrack while screaming in slow motion on the screen; I remember the scream sounding ridiculous, as if the dubbing director was giving her a wedgie. Or maybe it was a tooth being pulled. I doubt she was nominated for any Emmys for her heroic effort to get through this movie with a straight face.The only things (besides the slo-mo and the endless explosions) I remember about the production are the awesomely retarded customization job on the Charger (huh huh, the grille looks like mad eyes, huh huh, diabolical, dewd) and the shot of the cop getting creamed by same at the beginning of the movie (actually kind of a neat effect--his boot goes flying off his foot).I don't want to give away the nail-biting denouement, but I will give you a hint: something explodes. And something doesn't start. Until. The. Last. Possible. Second. The. End. Burp.

kms-6 'Horrible' is an apt description of this bomb of a movie. (Actually, it's insulting to all other movies, just to call it a "movie"!) I would be embarrassed to have my name associated with this waste of time -- it's nothing but a ridiculous plot, with bad acting and ludicrous scenarios. A driver-less car? Flying off of cliffs, only to return to torment (us the viewers, I presume?). No other cars on the road? ANYWHERE?! A 12-year-old kidnap victim is magically a stunt person with acrobatic skills? PLEASE!!! And in case you're waiting for an explanation of the 'plot' in this drivel, give up. It never happens.If this waste of time shows up on a channel in your area, you'll have the perfect reason for throwing out your television.
