Runaway Car Audience Reviews

Steinesongo Too many fans seem to be blown away
Invaderbank The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.
Billie Morin This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows
Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.
modius This very poor, ultra-low budget car chase movie which is meant to be a knock-off of Speed stars Judge Reinhold in what he'd later to go to say was one of the worst films he ever starred in.This TV movie has a lady who goes to get her car repaired by a dodgy mechanic and gets a car with the brake lines cut and the accelerator has now got a mind of its own and now travels over a 100mph (although its more like 30).There are some good dramatic scenes, but they are all made laughable by the constant cutting to scenes of cops sweating or radio DJs sweating or other people sweating to yet another "near miss"...Anyhow during the film the chasing radio and TV channels ask their viewers to come up with ideas on how to stop a runaway car... The police can't think of one good idea of stopping the car.There's tons of ideas they could have used. For example, they could have: 1) Popped the tyres 2) Jack the back of the car up with a pickup truck so it couldn't move 3) Use the water canisters they have on American freeway intersections and place them infront of the car - the water can slow down a car. 4) Put the car into reverse / Use the handbrake? 5) Drive the car into an airport and make it go around in circles until they run out of fuel...But I think the pinnacle of how dumb this movie was, was when Mr Reinhold went on to query why they didn't just turn off the engine.A pointless TV movie.Rating: 2/10.
stumpf I've had to change my view on the worst film in the world having just seen this one. THIS IS IT!Make no mistake this film is awful.Here's a list of reasons:Hopeless storyline (despite being based on a true story). Dreadful acting (what was Judge Reinhold thinking) Unbelieveably bad stunts. Childish dialogue. Non-existent continuity. Lack of atmosphere.Get the picture?
andrewwinthorpe What a movie. From the stereotyped characters to the baby the helicopter and the bridge, this movie is cliche ridden in the extreme. Yet it is compelling because of that. And it has Judge Rienhold in it. This is a must see with a few cans, a few mates, and money riding on what is going to happen next. The only thing I want to know is who did the M.O.T on that car
tomroes Watching this movie made me think constantly; why are they making such a problem out of some broken brakes? There are a million options to slow down the car! In the movie Speed the writers a least thought of a good reason why the car wasn't able to stop...There aren't many good things to say about this film; all the usual narrative cliche's make their appearance, the actors are very bad, the story is as leak as a sieve etc. That makes this movie a waste of time and money.
