Very well executed

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

I'm glad this rubbish is quite hard to find even with its good cast and plenty of reasons to be more accessible. Thankfully it's not, and if someone is hiding this mess from viewers is because this movie is THAT awful. Too bad I've found it (terrible image quality I must say). "The Road Killers" is a stupid idea designed from stupid minds who think only stupid people would watch it. The problem was that they cast interesting actors to make us hooked in it, so they end up grabbing well intentioned viewers who endure this tasteless junk. Stupid people will enjoy this big time, of course, they don't watch a movie with their brains turned on. Those will enjoy it. What's the movie's goal? To present good yet hot tempered folks who out of their stupidity decide to risk their lives for "honorable acts" like revenging the son who almost got hit by a car conducted by bunch of jerks. That's what Christopher McDonald father does when poor kid Joseph Gordon-Levitt miraculously escapes from being run over by Craig Sheffer and his crazy family formed by Adrienne Shelly, Josh Brolin and David Arquette, a sort of like Manson family of the roads. So, father goes on a pointless and dull chase against the idiots, dies in a horrible way (the turning point of the movie when you realize it's all downhill from here) and indirectly causes the kidnap of Christopher Lambert's family along with them. I won't bother going in telling you that Highlander will play the hero and try to save everybody while meeting other problems in the way such as stupid sheriff (Michael Greene) and another psycho. Oops I already did, sorry.There's no redeeming value, no entertainment value, no values at all. It's just an incoherent and violent driven flick with poor lines, bad editing, and clichéd moments. All the characters seem to have a severe case of bad memory where they repeat themselves time and time again. I won't blame much on the actors because they somehow manage to be enjoyable at times, they convince a little, but not enough to make you deeply connected. I didn't find myself thrilled by the action presented, I just felt completely terrorized into see how ridiculous this was. Best case scenario: well, it's useful to show how good folks can turn into the most idiotic when they act by impulse, trying to mess with people they don't know. That's the only worthy lesson from here, but I think you can find similar in better pictures out there.I hope that in the years to come someone from the cast apologize for being part of this. I hope they'll say: "It was a terrible movie, an even worst shooting, very problematic but I needed the money. It helped with my problems, it saved a family member from dying due to sickness. It paid all the hospital bills". Then, I might forgive just a little all the pain I went through while watching this. In the meantime, stay away from this wreck. 2/10

When I first saw this film a few years ago, I wasn't exactly impressed with it, but after a while I changed my mind and wanted to see it again. I recently obtained a videotape of the film and I'm so glad that I decided to give this film a second chance as it is a very enjoyable nail-biting thriller.As I've said in other reviews, I think it's unfair how much flak Christopher Lambert gets as he is a capable actor and can carry a film. Ironically though, even though he has top-billing here, his character Jack is sidelined for most of the film. The focus instead is on the 'road killers' of the title: a bunch of worryingly crazy guys who drive around in a blue Cadillac. Craig Sheffer is excellent as Cliff, their leader, a psychopath of the highest order. One review I read said that Sheffer's performance was over the top. I certainly disagree as I think he is excellent in the role, making Cliff a fully rounded character. The other three members of his gang are all well-performed by their actors as well, particularly David Arquette as an idiot savant and Josh Brolin as the one of the gang whose conscience troubles him.Lambert meanwhile just plays the character of Jack very well. He's an everyman thrown into a terrifying situation and who has to protect his family. I was annoyed that he didn't have more to do, but he handles the part very well. John Pyper-Ferguson is also enjoyable in an extended cameo as Cliff's big brother Hauser. But when the two have a confrontation, we realise how truly screwed-up their family was. I thought the film was a bit like THE HITCHER in a couple of respects. Maybe it isn't that much similar, but there are moments that reminded me of that Rutger Hauer film.Anyway, Deran Sarafian and his brother Tedi (who wrote) have produced an excellent film here, and I strongly recommend it. Here's hoping a DVD release with director's commentary will come out somewhere down the road.

Yes, you read the title right. As a massive Terminator fan, I wanted to check this out as it was scripted by Tedi Safarian, who is the man (or one of them) behind the script for T3. This movie is so bad it has dented all of my expectations for the new Terminator movie as the story lacks a complete sense of direction.Basically, we are introduced to two families driving through the desert. A bunch of psychos follow them and drive past them at breakneck speeds, shortly before taking them hostage. Why? Sure they are crazy but it still doesn't make any sense at all!The entire film has the atmosphere of those god awful tv movies (take Motorcycle Gang for example) and despite a relatively well-known cast, fails to deliver on every level. In the end you find yourself rooting for the bad guys as Christopher Lambert's acting is just terrible, not to mention the look on his face.However, credit is due where credit is due. The lead 'Road Killer' Cliff is played with genuine menace by Craig Sheffer as is David Arquettes character of Bobby.Good characters still ain't enough though to salvage this mess of a film and to be perfectly honest, you are better spending 100 minutes of your life cutting grass with a pair of scissors.All in all, The Road Killers (or Roadflower as it is known in the UK) wins itself a meagre 3 out of 10.

The old standby of a family driving through the desert and being terrorized by young punks in souped up cars is trotted out again. Craig Sheffer plays the leader of the gang and Christopher Lambert is the family man who has to protect his loved ones. If you have 90 minutes to kill, there are worse movies you can see. Of course,there are also better ones.
