To me, this movie is perfection.

Overrated

Just so...so bad

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

Tyre becomes self aware. Tyre meets girl. Tyre does nasty things. Yes, you need to watch this movie, for nothing less than helping the production people recover their costs and to help the actors through this harrowing time. Having said that, this film does exceed in terms of B-grade beauty, yet could do with a soundtrack like 'Paris Texas'. It brings on memories of 'Duel', 'Psycho', 'Weekend At Bernies', 'Rocky Horror', 'Scanners' and that Tomato movie. I was one of many who had to see this out. It posed so many questions that do not get answered until the final scenes. So don't hit the eject button too early, else you will miss the best bits.

I went to the barber this weekend, who usually has a bootlegged movie playing and while I was waiting, this movie started. I probably watched a good 45 mins. before I left and I felt like that was more than enough.Quite literally, this movie is about a tire that has telekinetic powers and can blow peoples' heads up. Even more odd are the people watching the tire from a distance with binoculars (and making creepy commentary).I didn't see the ending, but truthfully I had no idea what was going on. There were odd and creepy sex jokes, heads blowing up every 5 minutes, and just no detectable plot in the movie. One minute the tire is at a gas station blowing someone up, the next he is taking a shower, then next thing I know the police are attacking each other?There was another guy, about my age, waiting for his haircut and we both were puzzled as to why the barber was playing this movie. I've seen and enjoyed sy-fy channel movies and B-horrors that are way more tolerable than this!

From the opening scene of the sheriff explaining to the audience that there are things in this world that happen for no reason (most of his explanation is either factually incorrect or highly idiotic), this movie however proves surprisingly that it does have reason to exist. As easily as this movie could have been written off as a movie about a tire on a killing spree. Rubber's underlying message about how independent filmmakers struggle with the big box office studios and audiences who are only fascinated with big explosions, provides a quirky and twisted movie about how a tire (indie filmmaker) would use their newly acquired psychokinetic powers.

A perfectly good idea ruined by over-explanation and "look how clever we are" winks. Good jokes don't give the punchline away before the setup, great art doesn't demand you read a thesis to walk you through it. The introduction and frame story here did nothing but detract from the perfectly acceptable conceptual element of this film. It feels like a "Mulholland Drive" or "Lost Highway" if David Lynch had filmed an additional 45 minutes of footage to both pad out an inconsistent idea as well as spoon-feed his audience the point he was making. If the point is "just because", SHOW it. Don't tell us straight out. Let us see/experience it through the visuals and story. Take the idea and run with it, don't falter and just blurt it out. What's the point in watching the rest? Overall: a terrible failure that could have been something great.
