Movie Connections:

Follows Joy Ride (2001/I)

nothing different.... maybe funny

Completely predictable if you have seen some other road thriller movies. Just for fun and pop corn.You can predict who will die from the first 15minutes and maybe the exact order. Actually i laughed more than scared. Nothing different. The first Joy ride much better. The acting is quite ridiculous and the script too. Also very funny this "scary" guy that never showed his face! Actually ,the track is the leading actor in the film. The only thing that worth to see is the falling and explosion of the track at the end of the movie. This was the most interesting to watch. Maybe another good moment was the scene with the striptease.
