Revenge on the Highway (1992 TV Movie) User Reviews

Good cast, not too good movie

[Pimpo_Disney · 6/10 · 6 July 2006]

Saw this one tonight. Marriage ends in grief and anger when groom dies early in the movie. Movie becomes a chase for a hitandrun driver with several minutes of freeway footage. Solid performances by Keach and Brown in the first 20 minutes I find. Cast throughout the movie performs well so "well done" to the casting directors. This unfortunately is offset by some sloppy camera-work (erratic, back and forth, and too many extreme closeups). The script and idea isn't groundbreaking either.

Good acting, story none too engaging. I never really felt the fathers grief, and that took away from the overall feel. "Death wish Light" comes to mind.

It's no "Road Games"

[CJ_076 · 5 August 2004]

Stacey Keach once again takes the driver's seat of a Semi in this lame TV movie that lacks any real thrills or chills. Unlike Keach's other Semi flick "Road Games, which boasted great suspense and style, this looks and plays like your typical TV movie of the week. Add in the old overused plot of the son being run down by the baddie and the dad seeking revenge and you got a real yawner on your hands. Keach does a great acting job as always but Craig Baxley's direction is as stiff as a board (even the final truck chase is boring). And Sandahl Bergman has really lost it since "Conan", she looks absolutely terrible here! Besides Keach, the only plus side is John Leonetti's excellent cinematography which just looks fabulous. But overall, this film is a real bummer.

Pathetic

SPOILER: Well, it would have to be one of the most boring and pathetic movies i have ever seen. The Python lady sounds like a man - keep an eye out for that, yet looks somewhat like Sharon Stone (well, i thought so).

It has old people shower scenes - definately not needed!!!!!

Over all, a movie about a man chasing trucks for ages doesn't excite me!!! Want a good movie, Look up 'The Pit'!!! Sammy Snyders is excellent!

Good performance by Stacy Keach

[yorksdavid · 7/10 · 25 June 2010]

I have watched this film a few times and was impressed by Keach's solid performance as Claude Sams. The film is based on the true story of Claude's son Paul having been killed by a renegade trucker while changing a tyre on the highway. I found it pulled at my heartstrings in a compelling way.

The part of the film where Claude extracts his revenge on the highway is entertaining but might be a little contrived. This film has had some bad reviews so I wanted to balance it with a positive one.

The film largely belongs to Stacy Keach, the supporting actors' performances are of varying quality but on the whole I find it an entertaining and riveting film.

Very Good Movie

Anyone who gives a bad review to this movie is clearly an idiot. dont let an idiot decide what you watch. Watch it yourself then decide FOR YOURSELF.
