Road Rage (2000)
Woefully bad crap from Sidney J. Furie, director of such cinema trash as Superman IV and the Iron Eagle films. Road Rage is basically a Duel rip-off, except with horrible direction, lackluster acting, and one hell of an abomination called a script. ...
Cellular (2004)
Reminiscent in feel with other “dumb fun” thrillers like Speed and the Die Hard series, Cellular isn’t going to break through with cinematic originality, but it is still an engaging a 90-minute escapist thrill ride. Plot holes? Yes, there...
Predator 2 (1990)

David (Munro) plays a comedian who is performing at a truck stop diner, much to the displeasure of his girlfriend, Sylvia (Davis. “Sex and the City”), who thinks he’s wasting his time at these...
Open Water (2003)
Open Water is an attempt at a realistic thriller, which some have compared to The Blair Witch Project, but I have to disagree with this comparison. Blair Witch tried to push forward a notion of realism to the...
