Lou Diamond Phillips stars as a US Marshal trying to get witness Steven Williams to Los Angeles to testify at a mob trial. At first he and his team which consist of Lori Petty and Dale Midkiff among others have to only worry about a gang of mob hit men who they tangle with outside a New Mexico diner. Then its redneck sheriff L.Q. Jones and his dim bulb sons. Seeing these two I've no doubt that L.Q. was blood relations with mom. He's on the mob payroll as well.
But when Phillips and his crew make a turn off on a closed road to save some time, that's when trouble really starts. Lou's got a connection to that road which he finds out. And Jones has an even stronger connection. The road holds a terrible secret, there's a reason it's been closed off for years.
Route 666 was a made for television film for the Science Fiction Channel and it's pretty good considering some of what usually comes out of there. Lou and the rest of the cast deliver good performances in a film that glides effortlessly from an action/adventure to a horror flick. For those who like both genres and Lou Diamond Phillips, Route 666 will keep you on the edge of the seat at the end.
