Highly Overrated But Still Good

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Exit Speed is one of those cheap, unoriginal looking action thrillers, that often play on cable, and this one is no exception. This caught my eye at the video store last week, and since I'm an action junkie, I decided to give it a look, because it looked interesting, big mistake on my part. This plays off like a cheap version of Mad Max, only with whiny characters who have trouble getting along, and nowhere near enough action to satisfy. People like Lea Thompson, Fred Ward show up for paychecks and are wasted. Also why would the bikers randomly just attack them like that? I mean it's possible, but it just seemed kinda odd to me.Bottom line. Exit Speed certainly has nowhere near enough speed to get to reach it's destination. It's a dull, typical T.V type film, that does not have enough qualities for me to recommend.3/10

Passengers on a bus are traumatized by a gang of vicious motorcycle psychopaths. Sound like a lurid, suspenseful movie? Think again. This flick substitutes MTV Real World fake personality exploration for suspense and thrills. After a tense 10 minutes at the beginning of the movie, we are held hostage by an extensive lets-get-to-know-them interlude, where our heroes exchange personal stories, predictable rivalries, and a string of contrived revelations that end up leaving the viewer half awake. The motorcycle gang is merely a plot device to heighten tension, as we know nothing about them for they never speak a word. They could be flesh-eating zombies for all they matter to the story. Sorry to see Fred Ward ending his career with this under his belt.

This movie is about a group of holiday bus travelers that, when attacked, accidentally run over two bikers. The rest of the bikers rally to try to kill the passengers on the bus. The Coach in this movie should have been put down early by his own people. The biker gang is apparently all mute because none of them utter a word throughout the movie. The movie did a poor job of re-using bike actors after the first version of them is killed off. It was very obvious that they were the same actors. There were so many actions taken in this movie that were just too stupid to allow it to be a good movie. It had 3 good actors and Fred Ward. Even Remo Williams couldn't help this movie. My favorite character spoke no English, but he was the brightest of the bunch. I would suggest waiting until this movie comes to cable to satisfy any curiosity you may have about whether it's worth watching. It's not,

When this movie starts it looks like a normal TV movie where something dramatic will happen. Where the characters will have to work together in order to overcome the issue at hand. While the cover suggest that the lead character is male (Desmond Harrington from "Dexter") this is not true. The lead is Julia Mond who plays a deserted soldier from whatever reason. And she is the one who organizes the diverse characters and make a stand against the Nomads (who apparently can't speak). Once the terror of the Nomads begins you have to prepare yourself for one unrealistic event after another. Otherwise you will have a very hard time in enjoying this movie. I mentioned that this started out as a normal TV movie. Nothing is further from the truth. This is one violent movie. It's bloody and gory. And because you don't expect these normal characters to commit these actions it can be shocking (Compared to Mad Max 2 Exit Speed is much more cruel and that is saying something). Overall this movie is pretty decent. I only wished that Fred Ward had a much bigger role then he got. Also I would have liked to see a more realistic approach in the Siege the bus passengers are put in.
