Overtake

I think, the movie Overtake is inspired from Spielberg's movie Duel. Road chase scenes are thrilling, but the reason behind that plot is disappointing. Locations and road chases are fine.

Many hollywood movies are made on road rage and equal numbers are flop except few. This movie is copy from hollywood but even after copy paste they were not able to make a watchable film. Can't blame the actors they honestly tried as per their capability but the director and the writer who copied but still did not use his brain. Atleast in West the chase is justified with remote highways with no one in sight but here the actors a made to look dumb even after reaching few places with people around they dont use their common sense to take help Or call police instead they are jumping in and out of car as if they are enjoying to get killed by the truck.

Why cheat with the tag of inspired from real life, say it as a rip off of Spielberg's Duel! Waste of time and Money

They shouldn't have deviated from the original theme. The sub plots, though minor were totally off the track, no pun intended! This could have been done with some good director and screenplay, considering the rustic locales and good camera work - that would have lifted the movie from a work of amateurs to a serious entertainer.

I watched this movie on Amazon Prime, the movie is a copy of Duel with a back story and an extra female character, the chase scenes were exactly the same and just like Duel they also used a red Classic Sedan and Huge old Oil truck, If you have already watched Duel you will not like it but if you have not you might find it thrilling.
