    We have proof that Hollywood is on Crack

    Pathetic doesn't begin to describe this drivel. There is nothing plausible nor believable in this crap. If I were one of the 'actors' (hah!) in this bomb, I'd change my name AND commit suicide.

    Here are a few reasons to poke your eyes out, instead of watching this P.O.S.:

    1) You'll see vehicles engulfed in flames still driving perfectly. 2) You'll see vehicles involved in crashes that magically aren't damaged in the next scene. 3) You'll see flying trucks still manage to drive perfectly after smashing to the ground (don't you wish yours could... AFTER ONLY HITTING A POTHOLE!!!) 4) You'll hear some of the most moronic dialogue ever to be recorded. They should have kept their mouths shut. Now these poor idiots couldn't even get a job doing voice-overs.

    If you see this poorest-excuse-for-a-movie in your TV listings, and have nothing else to watch, consider watching the water going down the bowl in your toilet. Trust me, you'll enjoy it more.

    This movie is horrible.

    I am currently being forced to watch this horrid film. I can not imagine where they found these actors. They are so bad. The dialog is ridiculous, as well. The truck driving down the road on fire is slightly funny, but not enough to watch the movie for.

    Awe-struck. Completely, utterly, awe-struck...

    Well, what can I say? Without getting too negative here, I'll say that I should have known better when I saw the name SIDNEY J. FURIE (the "director" of the inexcusably awful SUPERMAN IV) pop up in the opening credits. I guess it's my fault that I lost nearly two hours of my life watching "Road Rage."

    I've never been in film school, but even I, a layman, can confidently judge the direction of this film as nearly non-existent and completely third-rate (and that's being nice). I won't go in to how bad the dialogue, script, and plot were, because clearly the people responsible for this film have no business being responsible for films. This film, in my opinion, is beyond conventional criticism. If Francis Ford Coppola makes a bad film, you give him a bad review, because you expect better from him. This is not the case here; it is evident that the filmmakers, bless them, just do not belong in their industry.

    The acting is beyond subpar -- I even expected a bit more from Casper Van Dien (Starship Troopers). With actors of his variety, however, his performance depends on the guidance of the director, and accordingly, he is completely lacking in Road Rage (to put it mildly). Annoying and hollow would be other words. His leading lady, beautiful and somewhat likable at the start of the film, blows her performance overacting -- which isn't always a terrible thing, but getting away with "overacting" requires knowing something about "regular" acting in the first place. The only decent acting came from the three jocks in the truck. You will grimace and groan through the entire picture. Completely painful.

    This may sound dramatic, but ROAD RAGE ruined my Saturday night, and has no redeeming qualities (save, perhaps, for the good looks of the two leads). Disjointed, confused, contrived, and completely lacking in any of the ingredients necessary for creating a suspenseful atmosphere in what is supposed to be a "Suspense" film, ROAD RAGE is definitely one you should give a miss.

    A note to Casper Van Dien: since I liked you in Starship Troopers, I'll pretend I didn't see this.

    Avoid at all costs!

    Another DUEL copy.

    I understand that a lot films where inspired from Duel, such has Breakdown and Joyride . But those films faired better. This film was badly acted all over. Casper Van Dien plays a limo driver, who gives a young women a ride home, after she had a fight with her boyfriend. While he's driving her home, he unwittingly cuts off a truck driver in traffic. The driver takes offense, starts menacing them on the highway. It starts turning into a game of cat and mouse. This film started out good. The chase scence on the highway was good. But has the film went on it became less interesting. After a while I was becoming bored with this film. Casper Van Dien could be a good actor he just needs to pick a good acting role. Danielle Bret was also bad in this movie. For some viewers, If you want to see a good road suspence movie. Then see the film that started it all DUEL.

    Its an okay movie if you're too drunk to turn the channel

    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.
