    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.

    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.

    No redeeming value.

    Here's a movie that's hard to watch, but easy to review.

    Acting = so wooden that it stinks. Likeability of characters = so self-centered that they stink. Story = so derivative and transparent that it stinks. Plot = so predictable that it stinks. Writing/dialog = not good enough to stink. Action scenes = so ridiculous that they stink.

    A few people rated this movie a "10". I think they must include the director, producers, actors, maybe even the electricians who worked on this movie. But they must have had a few drinks, or no conscience when they voted.

    2 stars out of 10(3 stars if you've had a few drinks, or no conscience.).

    Only two good things about this movie

    If it weren't for Caspar Van Dien's two big blue eyes, there would be absolutely nothing worth seeing in this movie.

    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.

    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.
