Road Rage - Maßlose Wut

The female lead was stiff and wooden and the ex-husband was not engaging in the least. The lead's friend had all the talent you'd expect to find in a middle-school theatrical production. The lead's mother was not even in it; she looked more like a producer's assistant running lines with the lead rather than someone actually acting. Within ten minutes, I was rooting for the bad guy. It was so bad that I ended up reading a package insert from a box of sinus pills I found in the drawer of the nightstand. The possible side effects were a lot scarier than this movie.

Not a bad MOW. I was expecting another film based on womens issues but was pleasantly surprised at the element of suspense. Sure, parts of the plot were pretty hokey but for the most part the movie kept me guessing. Was the nut bar connected with the ex husband, somebody in the tavern or was it the guy (person) that she cut off? Daniel Magder was excellent. I've seen him in Mom's on Strike and in Guilt by Association, both MOW's and he is very creditable, especially the way he challenges his mother the way a preteen would typically act.

Laura Leighton also played the typical mother (ex-wife) that both men and women can relate to. She was frustrated enough to seem real.

See it if you missed it. It's worthwhile.

Joanne Sanders (Laura Leighton) is a divorced mother with money problems trying to sell her junk car. She has to work late at a restaurant. Leaving work, she cuts off another car which leads to revenge from the other car's mysterious driver.

This is one of those woman-in-danger TV movies on Lifetime. It would have been great to keep it all that same night. I always like same-night movies with a lot of car chases. The production value is at the expected TV level. Laura Leighton is a function TV actress although I don't watch her shows, Melrose Place or Pretty Little Liars. In the end, this is a generic weaker example of this genre.

This was a reasonably good movie until the very ending. What happens then was absurdly unrealistic and physically impossible. It ruined the film for me, took me right out of it. Something similar could have been accomplished without the need to go to that extreme. I had to take 3 stars away from the movie just because of that. I can suspend disbelief quite easily, but that ending just made me shake my head.

There were other aspects to the movie that one could quibble about, too. But the ending was just so over the top it superseded anything that came before. As I said, it took me out of the movie, since the ending was just ridiculous.

Too bad; this was a decent thriller up to that point.

Settling down with a cuppa for an afternoon film, the idea of a single mum being stalked by a loony driver seemed quite entertaining. How wrong I was! The single mum who works nights is run off the road by a man furious at a driving mistake she made on the road. But because her phone number is in the car window he can track her down! Therein follows a ridiculous trail of events, totally unrealistic things in the circumstances e.g. leaving her child alone ( who is never allowed to be alone )in a motel to order pizza very late at night whilst she goes to see her ex husband hoping for a reconciliation. The sex scene here was totally unnecessary to the plot of the film.

The ending was just silly! And there is a very obvious time goof in that she leaves the motel at night and gets out of the car in the daylight.
