Exit Speed Audience Reviews

Incannerax What a waste of my time!!!
Lancoor A very feeble attempt at affirmatie action
Dynamixor The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.
Aneesa Wardle The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
Paul Magne Haakonsen Just by looking at the cover/poster for "Exit Speed", then you know that this is going to be one of those movies. But still, there is something oddly alluring about these movies that makes us come back and watch them. Perhaps it is because they tend to be some overly campy, or because there might be a snowball's chance in Hell that the movie will surprise everyone and turn out to be good."Exit Speed", however, did not turn out to be one of those movies that just blindsides you and turn out to be interesting or particularly entertaining.One of the things that actually made me sit down to watch "Exit Speed", despite knowing well enough that the chances that this would be another low budget failure of a thriller, was because the movie had Lea Thompson and Fred Ward in it.The storyline is probably what makes this yet another of those run-of-the-mill movies that flood the market and fail to make an outstanding notification of itself. "Exit Speed" is about a group of people on a bus that fall prey to a gang of bikers.Aside from the questionable storyline, then the characters in "Exit Speed" also turned out to be mechanical and one-dimensional. That means that you, as a spectator, doesn't really care about any of the characters in the movie.The effects in "Exit Speed" were simple, but they served their purpose well enough. However, don't expect to be blown away by a myriad of special effects or practical effects.I managed to sit through the entire movie, but I must admit that my attention span for the story was hard pressed. And while I did see the movie to the end, I can't really claim to have been properly entertained by what I witnessed in "Exit Speed".
SnoopyStyle It's Christmas in Texas. Military Police Archie Sparks (Fred Ward) is hunting AWOL Corporal Meredith Cole (Julie Mond). She escapes and boards a bus with a variety of passengers. The bus is harassed by a passing biker gang. One of the bikes fall over and the bus runs over it. The biker starts shooting killing the bus driver and others. They manage to kill the biker but the rest of his friends come looking for revenge. They drive into an isolated scrap yard and must fend off the criminals.The story is thin and worthy of any number of B-movies. It's not that believable in the age of cell phones and interconnectivity. The whole movie isn't that realistic. The biker gang seems more like central casting rejects. It's a cross between Mad Max 2 and Home Alone. The junk yard is stock full of MacGyver material. There is some cat-and-mouse stuff in the night. It does have some fun 80s action. There are some solid actors here doing it for the paychecks.
kai ringler Truthfully I wasn't expecting much from this movie, and what I really got was a lot more than what I was expecting,, a pretty decent movie.. sure there are parts that are campy and maybe even corny at times.. but there's lot's of action, counting of ammo. gun play chases. killing what's not to like about this picture. really loved Fred Ward cant' get enough of watching him in movies.. then you got Lea Thompson,, where she been last 20 years.. last I seen her was the original Red Dawn. I thought that the idea of total ordinary people getting stuck out in the middle of nowhere against a bunch of lawless attackers in the middle of the desert was a pretty good story line..
ladyflow Exit Speed was an interesting movie. It seemed like something that would come on a Saturday afternoon in the late 70's. I thought in the beginning , what in the world is this gonna be about because I refuse to read the back of the box (so to say) I like to be taken by surprise and with this choice I was. It keep you watching and rooting for the good guys.To put a small synopsis there for you I will say that it was about passengers on a bus that was kidnapped and thru their strengths, weakness, talents, and idiosyncrasies, they band together to survive this crack smoking, nose piercing, biker group from Hell.I liked it and I think you will too.
