Un taxi inquiétant

Beautiful blonde criminal justice student Danielle Savre (as Trudy O'Donnell) thinks she's getting into a legitimate "NetCar" (as "Uber") after partying at a nightclub. As it turns out, the driver is a fake. He drugs and rapes his victims, after arriving in a black sedan that looks like a legitimate car. Most people just hop in the vehicle and give their address. Understandably traumatized, Ms. Savre has trouble warming up to attractively muscular Jackson Davis (as Donovan), who seems like an ideal catch. She's not interested in slightly chubby Kevin Cox (as Charles), a "NetCar" driver and fellow student. After learning how long it takes to investigate rape cases, Savre decides to take matters into her own hands. She gets a job as a driver for the same company, hoping to stalk, identify and nip the rapist...

Writer-director John Stimpson's "The Wrong Car" contains a valuable lesson: make sure you know your driver is authentic...

It's also an engaging and nicely produced story. Casting is perfect, right down to sleazy motel clerk Rhet Kidd (as Roger) and concerned detective Christina Elmore (as Jackson). There are some problems accepting various plot developments, however. While strained, we're going pardon Savre for putting roommate Francia Raisa (as Gretchen) in deadly danger. It's stupid, but we all do stupid things. The last shot (of alcohol) at the nightclub, before the endeavor, is dumb multiplied. But, the characters leaving the scene of a possible rape to go have coffee - and with a police investigator, no less - is the real deal breaker. No good "Lifetime TV Movie" cop or heroine would do such a thing. If the pretty blonde heroine can skip showering for three days, she can wait a few hours to help a drugged rape victim.

**** The Wrong Car (2016//01/16) John Stimpson ~ Danielle Savre, Jackson Davis, Kevin Cox, Francia Raisa

not complicated, expected turn of events, expected the suspects from the very beginning even before the incident happen because there is no room for other suspects actually. Some events are not logical at all. most of the school scenes were unnecessary because they start with an idea they but the scenario writer decided not to go on with any side arguments and to focus on the main story, that's why they were unnecessary . its watchable. but I really hated the guts of the main actress playing the "rebellion vigilante" I would advise that you make this your last option to watch

that's all!!

With Uber and Lyft in the news all the time lately, I think the subject might be of interest to a lot of viewers. The plot is very plausible, people are finding that out, with all the incidents that have already happened. Way too much trust out there. Of course criminals are using technology now, apps, new kinds of vulnerability. As for the film I thought the casting was good. There might be some plot flaws, but remember she is driven by anger, and might be a bit reckless and not thinking straight. That said, it all works out. But yes there could have been more depth. A little freaky at the end, should make a lot of women more careful.

This film has a straight story line and pursues it quickly to a neatly tied ending. It seems to have 2 agendas: To point out the lack of safety surrounding the Uber fad for both passengers & drivers; and to serve as a poetic justice platform surrounding the vulnerability of the female population. Trudi is the strong, determined victim, and if the film decides to change its name for a 3rd time, may I recommend "Wrong Chick".

I found it entertaining and provocative and the acting was actually not bad. My biggest concern are those who think this film's only purpose (or LifeTime's) it to make men look bad. If you feel like this film is pointing a finger at you, you might need to do some soul searching.

For me, the ending was a bit rushed and let a lot for the viewer to reach conclusions about. I don't like when a film does a lot of hand-holding, but I do like a bit more clarity. As someone in the legal field, I know they'll need to have the Detective's confidence to push this through court with that narrative. But that, too, would be poetic justice.

I don't think everyone will appreciate this film the way someone who's actually been in similar situations might. It's definitely not a date film.

...but the writers left out the good parts!

I loved the little gang of bangers. They were pretty convincing as not so bad guys. The real bad guys very slimy enough to give themselves away. The baby? I don't understand his role here but, whatever.

This movie had so much going for it and just as it got good......yeah, that's how I felt.
