Rating: Summary: "Joy Ride" is an excellent suspenseful-horror film ! Review: A story about young Lewis and his brother, who try to pull off a little prank, while picking up a girlfriend on a road-trip . This "prank" turns into a deadly game, as the 3-teenagers are hunted down by a psychotic truck-driver who wants them all ROADKILL . Now there's no escape, as the driver follows them wherever they go, and knows their every move ! With non-stop thrills and chills, this is possibly one of the best thrillers ever made ! The acting is nicely done too . Reminds me of Steven Speilberg's: "Duel", which has some similarities to this one . Its also quite clever that they don't show the driver as much which builds the suspense and feel to the movie . Check out the DVD-version of this film which includes: 4 different endings, theatrical trailer(s), and MORE !
Rating: Summary: A SUSPENSEFUL MOVIE IN THE STYLE OF DUEL!!!! Review: THIS IS A VERY IMPRESSIVE AND SUSPENSEFUL MOVIE. IT KEEPS YOU INTERESTED FROM THE GET-GO. I REALLY ENJOYED IT. I RECENTLY VIEWED DUEL FOR THE FIRST TIME AND IT WAS VERY GOOD ALSO. THIS MOVIE BORROWS A BIT FROM THAT FILM, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT BUILDS IT'S OWN PLOT. IT'S A THRILLER AND AT TIMES IT MAY EVEN SPOOK YOU A BIT. ONE THING IS FOR SURE, I NEVER WANT TO ENCOUNTER A SITUATION LIKE THIS. SEE IT IF YOU HAVEN'T AND TURN THE LIGHTS DOWN LOW AND RELAX. LET THIS FILM TAKE YOU FOR A RIDE- A JOY RIDE!!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!!!! THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST THRILLERS THAT I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!
Rating: Summary: Enjoyed The Ride Review: I don't want to give away the movie ( i'm sure you've read the other reviews)All i will say is: JUST ENJOY THE RIDE!
Rating: Summary: Pretty Good...Could have been better Review: This movie was good it just needed a bit more scary suspense scenes and a little bit more of a "DEEPER" plot so to speak. This movie is worth renting. And if you like "Scary Movies" I suggest renting it first and then making your own personal decision on whether to buy it or not after you watch it.
Rating: Summary: Joy Ride rocks!!! Review: GREAT MOVIE!!!!!....This is the BEST thriller movie I have seen in a long time!! The whole time while I was watching the movie I kept, think this could really happen; cause there is CRAZY truck drivers out there!!! And I kept jumping out of my seat and I was tensed and anxious to see what would happen next!! I seen the movie 3 times so far and now even though I know what will happen, I still get jumpy.... The best way to see this movie is on DVD, I seen it on VHS but it wasn't as exciting!! and also on the DVD you can add all the alternate endings that they filmed for the movie in to the movie it self so its kind of like getting 5 movies for the price of one!!... You u love suspense and thrillers you'll love this movie!!!
Rating: Summary: Joyless Joy Ride Review: ... Guy in Berzerkly buys a junker to drive a childhood acquaintance he wants to sleep with (Leelee Sobieski and her 'glass cutters') from Colorado to New Jersey. Detours through Utah to bail his brother out of jail. Bad seed brother's influence leads to a string of retarded decisions that end with them managing to incur the wrath of a trucker by pretending to set up a romantic liaison with him over their CB radio. The trucker is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent and indestructible. Through means unknown he manages to follow the group in his eighteen wheel rig without being spotted, determine all of their names and figure out where they are going. His only contact with them is over the CB radio and they never reveal anything to him but their handles, Black Sheep and Mamma's Boy, plus the alter ego Candy Cane. He must be channeling Karnak to have figured out everything else. His rig is indestructible, too. He drives it THROUGH another truck, a heavily constructed and insulated ice truck. He goes right through the frame portion of the freezer unit of the truck without sustaining any damage to his own vehicle. Joy Ride's villain has some annoyingly "Jasonesque' qualities. In a strange little role reversal, Paul Walker and Steve Zahn generally scream like ninnies throughout the movie while Leelee seems to have the cooler head. All of the performances are relatively unremarkable. Zahn, delightful in some of his other roles, needs to figure out that it is quality, not quantity. Leelee's prescence seemed more based on her willingness to display her turgid nipples throughout the production than any acting ability. Walker was like a ghost, leaving no impression at all after the movie was over. He let things happen to him without really reacting to the environment or other characters. Except for when he and Zahn were screaming like women. NOT RECOMMENDED.
Rating: Summary: joy ride Review: I would recommend this to suspence and mystery lovers. It will leave you wondering what really happened, who was the killer, and what will happen in the next episode. i wouldn't recommend this movie to kids under 12 there isn't really anything that they would like.
Rating: Summary: Great Movie. Review: I almost did not watch the movie... I am so glad I did.... and then I watched it again another thousand times... and I plan to watch it again... and when the price goes to a normal price... I will own it!! This movie had everything!
Rating: Summary: Impressive Thriller Review: I recently rented Joyride and to say the least it was an impressive horror thriller. It also has just enough comedy to keep you off guard. Paul Walker stars as Lewis Thomas, a college student driving across country to pick up his friend Vienna Wilcox(Leelee Sobieski). Along the way he picks up his delinquent brother Fuller(Steven Zaun) from jail. Fuller is definitely the best character in the film. Along the way Fuller picks up an old CB radio. Fuller coaxes his brother Lewis to play a prank on a trucker who goes by the name Rusty Nail. Lewis acts like a woman who goes by the handle Candycane. Lewis tells Rusty to meet Candycane at the hotel they are staying at. They tell him to meet Candycane in room 18 at midnight. Fuller and Lewis are in room 17. They see the truck pull and go into the next room. After hearing a disruption next door the call the front desk and ask him to check it out. Everything seems to be fine. The next morning they wake up to police surrounding the hotel. They are interrogated and fess up to the prank they pulled. The police release them. Rusty, however, has not forgotten and he stalks and torments the brothers the rest of the movie. The movie is well made, the acting was impressive, and the DVD I saw anyway was packed with extras, including 4 alternative endings. I really enjoyed the movie. It kept my interest peaked throughout. I also know that it is something I'm sure all of us have done sometime in our life. Prank someone that is, especially as teenagers. However, after you watch this film you will think twice before you ever pull a prank again. See this movie!!!!
Rating: Summary: a cut above the rest Review: I will not give my thoughts on the movie, just read what everybody is saying about it. Better that your average teen thriller/horror with a little bit of humor thrown in (his brother is hilarious!!!) This is big praise coming from a person that hates the teen movies that have been coming out lately...
