Am I Missing Something?

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Not sure how, but this is easily one of the best movies all summer. Multiple levels of funny, never takes itself seriously, super colorful, and creative.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

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.

This is an amazing film in the genre of suspense - this is one reason I love some movies: climax of some human senses - I admit that the first time I saw the movie (about 12 or 13 years ago) , it was for me an experience full of suspense, fear and adrenaline: pure entertainment in two words - the plot seems simple: a joke in the CB radio to an unknown trucker (with an amazing voice) leads to an endless living nightmare for our 'heroes' in the film - this experience they 'll live (and we live with them) will not be so simple ... be careful because you never know with whom you may talking to ! Well , there is no need to learn here more for the plot , the issue is simple for the lovers of this genre : if you have not seen it yet (and I envy you very much for that!), you should immediately find it , rent it and watch it or much better buy it and keep it at home (because surely you 'll want to watch it again and again...) . Enjoy !!!

En route to pick up a friend (the gorgeous Leelee Sobieski) the late Paul Walker (pre his Fast & The Furious fame) and Steve Zahn play a prank using a CB radio on a truck driver, unaware of the murderous lengths he will go to to get his revenge. I'm not normally a fan of these types of movies, but nothing else was on TV, so I decided to give it a go and I'm glad I did.It reminded me a lot of Duel (Steven Spielberg's first movie, starring Dennis Weaver being pursued by a manic truck driver) which I was a big fan of growing upPaul Walker is certainly a good looking guy, and Zahn is perfectly cast as his troublesome older brother, but it's Sobieski I remembered long after that movie ended. And it is not just because she is an obviously talented actress, she is. It's because she seemed to spend the entire movie with permanently erect nipples, after making the mistake of going bra less for most of the movie. It's not like me to complain over such things (and I certainly didn't object to spending my time staring at her) but I found it distracting, and it took a bit away from the movie. I loved the cliffhanger ending too.

This is one of the films which I must have caught on television a few times but not had the chance to sit down and watch it all the way through.Unlike your usual teen horror movie, it actually has moments which are surprising and make your heart beat faster. It has a plausible storyline, not total mundane made up madness like other teen horror movies.This instills the message - don't talk to strangers! You don't know who the hell you might be dealing with.I like the actress and there were a few moments of comedy. The music helped create tension.Unlike other movies where I watch once and that's it, I would like to watch this again. It has a rather timeless quality.
