    Another DUEL copy.

    I understand that a lot films where inspired from Duel, such has Breakdown and Joyride . But those films faired better. This film was badly acted all over. Casper Van Dien plays a limo driver, who gives a young women a ride home, after she had a fight with her boyfriend. While he's driving her home, he unwittingly cuts off a truck driver in traffic. The driver takes offense, starts menacing them on the highway. It starts turning into a game of cat and mouse. This film started out good. The chase scence on the highway was good. But has the film went on it became less interesting. After a while I was becoming bored with this film. Casper Van Dien could be a good actor he just needs to pick a good acting role. Danielle Bret was also bad in this movie. For some viewers, If you want to see a good road suspence movie. Then see the film that started it all DUEL.

    Its an okay movie if you're too drunk to turn the channel

    This is nothing to do and you're too drunk to turn the channel movie. Its watchable but not a good movie. Any guy willing to jack up his ride for a plain Jane brunette either has serious personal issues or not all his dogs are barking.

    Its a movie you can watch only once and realized you just wasted an hour and half of your life where you could have been drinking more beer. The thing I hate the movie it the end. I wonder if these people were just hungry for a pay check cause you knew from the first few minutes of this movie it wasn't going any where. I realized there are some movies made to be filmed and others that are just a waste of film.

    This movie is horrible.

    I am currently being forced to watch this horrid film. I can not imagine where they found these actors. They are so bad. The dialog is ridiculous, as well. The truck driving down the road on fire is slightly funny, but not enough to watch the movie for.

    Can I Have My Money Back Please..AND My Time??!!!

    Man, this movie was TERRIBLE! This one caught my eye on the shelf at Hollywood Video and it looked like a decent action film (I've always been a die-hard fan of chase movies). Boy, was I wrong! The acting by everybody involved in this waste of cellulite being AWFUL was bad enough, but the plot was just downright laughable! The best scene was in the beginning where Van Dien and Danielle Brett (my two-year old niece could have done a better acting job than her) cut off the black pickup truck on the highway, but after that the entire movie just spirals downward!

    How ironic that the truck that Van Dien (Jim) happens to cut off on the freeway JUST HAPPENS to contain the ex-boyfriend of Danielle Brett's character, who we see having an argument with at the start of the movie. The funny thing is, the entire truck has tinted windows, so the driver or occupants in the truck aren't visible, at least not until 45 minutes later! Yeah, right!

    From there, we see the whole remainder of the movie with the two leads being chased by three jocks in that black pickup. Even the one brief love scene that I saw lasted one minute before the black truck interrupted it when it came crashing through the structure that those two were in as a hideout! The hideout, conveniently enough, came complete with a couch for those two to lay on! Give me a break!

    Then there's the fat jock who was so worried that his truck (which he BUILT BY HAND!) was going to get smashed up and destroyed during the chase (um..WHICH IT DID!), that he kept on telling the ex-boyfriend driver to "Be careful" and to "Watch out!" I think I was on the floor howling with laughter during these scenes! I guess he never expected any of that to happen when you embark on a TWO DAY CAR CHASE after your ex-girlfriend and her new "beau." In addition, why did he let the jerk not only use it for inevitable mass destruction, but even DRIVE it in the first place?

    Many other people who reviewed this sorry excuse for a movie know how it ends. Not me. Sorry, but I couldn't tell anybody how it ended, even if I wanted to. I got so disgusted with this movie that I only watched the first half of it. I couldn't stand it any more. I turned off the VCR and put the tape back in the case and returned it the next day. HECK, I DIDN'T EVEN BOTHER REWINDING IT! For me, that's never happened! Being a fan of bad movies, I never have any difficulty in watching a bad movie all the way to the end. But I've never seen one as intolerable as this one. So, that said, this one could classify as REALLY, REALLY BAD! It was just too stupid for my tastes! I can truly say that it was the worst hour I've ever spent!

    Do yourselves a favor and avoid this one at all costs! You'll find two hours in a dentist's chair a more exciting adrenaline rush than this stinker!

    Only two good things about this movie

    If it weren't for Caspar Van Dien's two big blue eyes, there would be absolutely nothing worth seeing in this movie.

    Van Dien plays Jim, a limo driver who rescues a pretty young woman, Sonia, from the angry boyfriend she's just broken up with, and offers her a ride home in his non-limo personal car.

    Out on the freeway, he carelessly cuts in front of a big black pick-up truck, causing the truck to spin out. Despite the heavy traffic, no one is hurt. Jim drives on. But soon the truck comes roaring up behind them, and from there the movie is basically one long nearly non-stop car chase mixed with some nitwit dialog.

    Throughout the movie, many dozens of other drivers are forced to swerve to avoid being killed by this car chase. Yet evidently not one of them has a cell phone to call the police. (Jim had a cell phone, but it was "new," he said, explaining why it wasn't working.)

    Not to mention -- where are the police or even traffic-report helicopters to pick up on this extended car chase?

    So, what do we have in "Road Rage"? We have a car chase, some brainless dialog, and zero suspense.

    Oh -- and Caspar Van Dien's very big blue eyes.
