Road Rage

Yasmine Bleeth has really played in a lot of thriller tv movies and all of them are kind of good. This one is maybe one of the best and it is about a madman who is after her to kill her,because she cut him off in traffic(really sick guy).The madman is excellent played by Jere Burns. Yasmine Bleeth is sexy as always and deliver decent performance.

I have seen some real cheesy made for tv movies in my time but this one really takes the cake. For one, why is it called ROAD RAGE? This movie is 80% about some sick guy obsessing over some chick that cut him off. I have to admit that I did get a nightmare after I watched this movie. It did freak me out a little. The movie was not horrible but it could have been better. With TV movies like Noah's Ark and Merlin standards should have been set.

Jere Burns plays a psycho driver in this movie who was cut off by Yasmine Bleeth. Personally, I side with Jere Burns in this movie. No one should be able to cut you off and get away with it. (Hint, Hint, my comments reflect what the movie is about). This is a cat and mouse movie, Yasmine Bleeth being the Mouse, and Jere Burns being the Cat, or rather should I say the Psycho Beast Cat who wants revenge against the mouse for cutting him off on the road. If you have a chance to watch this movie, do it. It is a very suspenseful, action filled, and fun movie.

I drive 500 miles a week on metro LA freeways, so I know about road rage. There is alot of potential for such a topic, but this made for TV movie exploited only a small fraction. The actual topic was stalking. Actual road rage is very anonymous stuff, acted out from behind the shell of your automobile. The script is very unoriginal, but I guess that it is the norm nowadays, especially in network prime time. I saw bits of "Duel", "Crash", "Play Misty For Me" and "Cape Fear". On the other hand, I really appreciated the film as part of the genre of "bad drama". It was really bad. I mean you get a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleader and a rent a stud Contractor with a 16 year old daughter who has a hard time looking under 25 and then you get a frustrated pitcher out of the San Diego Padres bullpen in a big Ford Bronco and then give them silly dialogue and, well, its made for TV as seen on TV.

This movie works if you have been stuck in a hospital bed for two days waiting to go into labor, as has my wife, so we considered it the high point of an otherwise monotonous day.

My issues with this movie....

1.) Nobody gets THAT angry about being cut off, seriously. The movie is not even about road rage.

2.) Yasmine Bleeth files a restraining order against a guy she's never even laid eyes on, how will she know if he violates it?

3.) John Wesley Shipp sucked as her husband, he finds out the psycho was in their house and automatically accuses her of banging him.

4.) Alana Austin plays her new step-daughter. Would a newly married woman really care THAT much about someone else's kid? Psycho thinks so.

5.) Are cops really THAT naive? They buy Psycho's lies as facts, and disregard Bleeth's statements from the get go. Why?

I had to watch this just to see how the hell the writer summed it all up. Does Psycho die or go to jail? Stay tuned to Lifetime channel Saturday mornings. My God, I watched this whole movie.
