New Line Cinema
Directed by Robert Harmon
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Sundance)
Average entry in a genre populated by classics such as Duel, Vanishing Point and the director's own The Hitcher. James Caviezel drives a muscle car through barren landscapes and gritty city streets in search of the maniac who ran over his wife. The killer is a middle aged insurance salesman more machine than human, with numerous prosthetics apparently obtained in automobile accidents. Anyway, he's after Rhona Mitra, an eyewitness to his latest car carnage. Boy and girl team up with a police traffic investigator to stop him once and for all. Some impressive car stunts refreshingly free of CGI, but also a particularly ludicrous one involving an upside down car being dragged through deserted city streets.
