Featured reviews
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.
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.
Van Dien plays Jim, a limo driver who rescues a pretty young woman, Sonia, from the angry boyfriend she's just broken up with, and offers her a ride home in his non-limo personal car.
Out on the freeway, he carelessly cuts in front of a big black pick-up truck, causing the truck to spin out. Despite the heavy traffic, no one is hurt. Jim drives on. But soon the truck comes roaring up behind them, and from there the movie is basically one long nearly non-stop car chase mixed with some nitwit dialog.
Throughout the movie, many dozens of other drivers are forced to swerve to avoid being killed by this car chase. Yet evidently not one of them has a cell phone to call the police. (Jim had a cell phone, but it was "new," he said, explaining why it wasn't working.)
Not to mention -- where are the police or even traffic-report helicopters to pick up on this extended car chase?
So, what do we have in "Road Rage"? We have a car chase, some brainless dialog, and zero suspense.
Oh -- and Caspar Van Dien's very big blue eyes.
