If you can get past John Bunnell's ear-grating loudmouth nature then high powered suspense awaits you - consisting mainly of police-pursuit car chases which often culminates into wrecks, occasionally you see life-saving rescue operations, riot sequences etc. ala RealTV. However the show suffers from Bunnell's one-sided and often uninformed narration (he once mistook a Toyota MR2 for a Pontiac Fiero). If he makes a careless observation like THAT it makes one wonder how much he really knows.

The program has much needed room for improvement. It has come under investigation for using audio/video enhancements (i.e. sound effects). The producers take a two minute chase sequence and expand it with replay after replay of the same videobyte and before-commercial cliff hangers that when you break it down, it only amounts to less than 30 minutes of unique programming. Although the video footage differs, it seems bunnell's dialogue stays the same from episode to episode - he just uses different words. Still it's an exciting adrenaline rush that keeps you on the edge of your seat to see what will happen next.

Years before this show started, Bunnell could be seen on duty as a narcotics agent in the earliest episodes of COPS (and he was a more quieter restrained person before he became this TV personality whore).

The story line (which is best described as a 'B' movie version of 'Gone In 60 Seconds') seems to center around a band of thugs who drive Honda Civic coupes to hijack 18-wheelers hauling electronics and a cop investigator who falls in love with one of the hijacker's sisters. Pic will please anyone who thrives on teen hip-hop culture, rice rockets and movement alone. those who are partial to actual dialogue, drama and plot with depth look elsewhere.

In the rural mountainous sections of West Virginia, attractive stars run for their collective lives under the attack of cannibalistic weirdos that dwell in the area and who are deformed thru generations of in-breeding. Nobody seemed safe from the bow-and-arrow touting killers-killers who just seem to revel in 'their' territory with their shananigans. True, the movie does hint at elements of originality, but by the time the last half-hour kicks in, it once again becomes routine and predictable. For some strange reason, the director opted to insert another horror sequence about one minute after the closing credits began.
