Quite a thrill ride
Lewis Thomas (Paul Walker) is a college student who pines for his old friend Venna (Leelee Sobieski). When she tells him that she broke up with her boyfriend, he moves heaven and earth including buying a car to spend time on a road trip with her. On the way to pick her up, his loser brother Fuller (Steve Zahn) is in jail for drunk and disorderly. He picks Fuller up whom he hasn’t seen in 5 years. Fuller is a jokester. First he buys a CB radio. Then he pushes Lewis to play a prank on a trucker. Lewis pretends to be a woman as he lures the trucker to a motel where a fight leaves a man near death. The guys are attacked by the psycho trucker. He seems to let them go and then they pick up Venna.

The movie has great tension. Zahn does his annoying sidekick character very well. Walker is solid as the all-American type. The movie does take a break when the boys pick up Sobieski. It had build up to such a frantic pace that it feels like the movie stalls in that section. However, it eventually ramps up and delivers quite a satisfying action conclusion. The movie exceeds my B-movie horror expectations.Read More
