Being a fan of films like DUEL and ROAD KILL (JOY RIDE to U.S. users), the sound of this film appealed to me. I just love scary road movies and I have to say that this picture, which I got on DVD recently, did not disappoint.
The Cadillac itself has a great menacing look to it and I love it when it and the Saab are engaged in their battle on the road. Apart from Randy Quaid, the cast is little known, but they all turn in brilliant performances. The tension mounts as the Caddy herds the Saab deeper into the backwoods of Wisconsin and repeatedly clashes with the boys. The boys are pushed to the limit of their endurance and discover some dark secrets about each other.
The ending is something I won't give away but I guess that some people could probably see it coming. Despite this, the final battle between the boys and the drivers of the Caddy is very tense. I give this film a confident thumbs-up!
