If you like this movie....

i hope a truck runs over you. OK..bad joke. but 50% of the people who rated this movie gave it over a 5.. but most of them were either teenage boys or women over 45.. so I guess I can understand that. The boys because they are mindless and want excitement. And the women because they are mindless and want excitement... Because there was nothing else of any value in this movie.-- Excitement..oooo! trucks going fast, and crashing, and people shooting, and trucks going even faster.. oooo.. and Patrick S.'s nice to look at....OOOO!! I'm excited.

Really.. an ex-convict,, nice guy, had some bad luck, but did nothing really that bad. Wants to keep his family together living in a good neighborhood, keep some smuck job. Here the violins playing?.. and the trite boss making him do a bad thing.. (you'd think the boss could find someone else) And do you really think people transport firearms this way? I doubt it. Anyway, and the rediculous chase scene, after chase scene,.. I turned off the stupid show, since I'm not a teenager, nor do i need to see P.Swaze or that other Gutare totting Frankinstein looking guy... I gave this movie a big fat 1.-- because that was what it was: a big fat one. Avoid this movie if you value life at all.

you possibly have the IQ of a rock...maybe a large boulder. theres far worse movies out there at least this offers more entertainment than peices of crap like Pulse or other catastrophies.

I just feel like replying for some unknown reason.-- your remark, doughbro2004, is remarkable. What makes you think that I have a low IQ, or no IQ? A rock has no IQ, and it's IQ of 0 is not dependent on it's size (as if a big rock has a negative IQ?) I guess you were trying to be witty. Good try. Still I wonder why you think I have a low IQ? Is it just because I disagree with you? Or is it something else? I guess, I might agree with you if you said that I had to be pretty dumb to watch this movie in the first place and then to remark about it in the second place.

You know I've changed my mind about two movies by way of people making some intelligent remarks about a movie I've disliked. Their remarks made me take a second look at the movie, and reevaluate my point of view.. Your remark of "there are far worse movies out there" and "this movie was better than looking at .... (you fill in the blank)".. really doesn't change my opinion.

Then again,, YOU LIKED THIS MOVIE? How could you? ---- Oh,, I know... "Great dialouge. Great acting.. Interesting story" or some of a multitude of generic terms.. i.e. terms that mean one might be getting the most basic elements of all those things. Which is true when it comes to this movie.-- you will see actors acting, people speaking, and a story falling flat. (or, in this case, crashing fast)

I just saw it for the first time a couple nights ago. I will watch anything with Patrick Swayze in it. Yeah, the movie is incredibly stupid but who cares? Lots of good chases, wrecks and shootouts. Plus it has some unique casting in Meat Loaf, Randy Travis and Brenda Strong.

Don't Truck WIth Swayze

Good. Thank you for not attacking me personally. You are not stupid for liking the movie. You are smart to just say, "so what if it's a stupid movie"?, and that you just like the actors and the unique casting. I agree with you,, -- Meat Loaf (or whatever he calls himself), R.Travis made an interesting cast. And you like Swayze. I wish more people could just tell it like that.

[–] doughbro2004 18 years ago

kinda funny your just a huge hypocrite, you attack me because i attacked you, yet in your original post you said only the people who liked it were mindless. maybe you shouldnt be so quick to judge when you are already guilty of the crime your accusing. or did you completely forget your original post.

[–] bookfinders 18 years ago

How did I attack you? I was speaking in a general sense. You take it personal. If I was to attack you personally, I would say something like, " You're a no account little terd". When a person reviews a movie and say's something like "this movie was obviously made just to appeal to the lowest common denominator.. which is about 8th grade entertainment level of raging hormones".. You can take that or leave it. I admit I did take some license, but I did not attack you personally.

YAY for message board fights!!! :D

I have read some of your posts, and you seem to be incredibly arrogant.

This movie was not goood, nor was it bad. It's standard Thursday night entertainment, when there's nothing else on the telly and you're too fat and lazy to look for a torrent.

I'd rather watch fast cars and weapon smuggelers for entertainment than four drug addicts heading towards their own death, or the sad true tale of siblings trying to survive the last days of a World War together, though the latter two are better film.

I enjoyed this movie and I am a fan of Swayze so that probably makes me a bit biast...but geeze, just take the movie for what's it's worth, an 80's style action movie...there aren't many anymore so i really enjoyed it....
