A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is ultimately a movie about the very bad things that can happen when we don't address our unease, when we just try to brush it off, whether that's to fit in or to preserve our self-image.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

Great movie. Not sure what people expected but I found it highly entertaining.

This low budget suspense thriller is a great example of what more low budget filmmakers should strive for. Throttle is a solid idea underlying a well thought out story and brought to life by a capable cast and crew. It's got just enough sizzle to hold the audience's attention and just enough substance to make them care about how things turn out. It's neither self-indulgent nor self-referential and it doesn't try too hard. This is a good and solid piece of entertainment.Tom Weaver (Grayson McCouch) works at a financial company. He seems to have a great job and a beautiful wife named Molly (Amy Locane). It's not all that it seems, though. Tom thinks his wife is cheating on him and he's about to conspire with his smarmy co-worker Gavin (Adrian Paul) on a scheme to steal 10 million dollars and transfer it into offshore accounts. Tom and Gavin meet one night at their offices to pull off the scam and seemingly succeed. But then Tom finds himself trapped in the bottom level of the building's underground parking garage, pursued by a man in a souped-up black truck who wants to kill Tom and anyone else who gets in his way.It wouldn't be far off to say this movie is like Duel in a parking garage. However, Throttle does not make the classic mistake of being nothing but a clever concept. Good stories generally have secondary conflicts and relationships woven through and around the concept, in this case it being Tom's relationship with Molly and his inner conflict over the criminal act he's committed. Those elements not only flesh out the film so it's more than a guy running hither and yon in fear of his life, they also give you a reason to care about the guy and whether or not he gets killed. Too many movies simply assume the audience's interest in their main character and never give you any reason to identify with him or root for her to succeed.Throttle also looks very good. In fairness, this isn't all that cheap a production as low budget filmmaking goes. There's more stunt work and destruction here than could be paid for with a couple of credit cards. But no matter how much money you have and no matter what level of skill you possess, you can always make things look good by working within your limitations. This film has just a few action sequences and the rest is good camera placement and sharp editing. A lot of the shots are pretty basic, but they're arranged and executed with talent and vision. Visuals don't have to be complex to be compelling. These filmmakers take maximum advantage of their parking garage setting and something as ordinary as bright light to create some impressive imagery.Now, it's not like the movie is perfect. It indulges in too many flashbacks, particularly ones that remind us of stuff previously shown in the film. The killer also has way too much motivation and spends too much time explaining it all. There's also an unnecessary does of extra drama squeezed into the conclusion.Throttle is an exciting and scary tale told with a little intelligence and a lot of craft. The people who made this movie are people who should make movies for a living. You can't say that about many low budget filmmakers.

Smug hot shot yuppie Tom Weaver (a solid performance by Grayson McCouch) sneaks into his office late at night so he can embezzle $10 million dollars from the company he works for. Tom becomes trapped in the office parking garage and gets relentlessly terrorized by a vicious lunatic in a big, grimy, ugly black souped-up truck. Director/co-writer James Seale maintains a constant brisk pace throughout, ably creates plenty of sweaty, nerve-rattling, claustrophobic tension, and stages the copious vehicular carnage with considerable muscular aplomb. Moreover, the central plot has pleasing echoes of "Duel" (a Dennis Weaver lookalike even appears in a quick witty cameo) and the maniac's true identity is genuinely surprising. Popping up in nifty supporting parts are Adrian Paul as Tom's slimy, unscrupulous business partner Gavin Matheson, the lovely Amy Locane as Tom's fed-up wife Molly, Michelle Beisner as Tom's hottie mistress Rebecca, and Dan Mundell as amiable security guard Eddie. Richard Lerner's slick, shadowy cinematography and Neal Acree's stirring'n'spooky score are likewise fine and effective. A satisfying little action thriller.

This movie is fairly good but is a little slow going at times. It starts out with a businessman having an argument with some stranger in a pickup. As the movie progresses, we find out the main character has decided to help embezzle some money. He backs out at the last minute and has a fight with his partner in crime, who leaves him in the parking garage, trapped with the maniac of that big pick up truck he had the argument with earlier.One of the key most important parts of the movie that is often missed is, near the early going of the movie...the main character is passed by an older style car. The car is uncannily similar to the car from the movie...THE DUEL (1971), as is the driver of that car. Foreshadowing?? The fact is also missed that the main characters name is TOM WEAVER...could this perhaps be a nod to Dennis Weaver?? I recommend this movie...but only if you know that you shouldn't be expecting it to be as good as movie with similar themes. Have fun with it, because it is fairly good.

For the guy who said Black hummer you have to be joking... Its more like Full sized blazer or Bronco. The movie itself i thought would be at least a cool car chase movie. Nope it was pretty lame the guy only had a tire iron that he didn't do anything with through out the entire movie but drop it. Somehow the Killer spent all this time chaining all the doors and cutting all the video cams. Why consider it was the main old fart doing all the killing. Though it did show the Gold digging wife that had.. and his rather lousy car.The stupid ending of the movie.... Where did you park you car? oh noooo they have to go back down their again.. .maybe they should make part2..Its amazing that the cops don't arrest him either for 1. stealing a cop car. 2 crashing the cop car.. (oh wait he didn't' have seat belt on and smashed a 6200 pd truck. ) he never moved... or hit the windshield. Just a horrible movie... i want my money back.
