I was going to say this is like a movie from the Hallmark Channel but that does the people who make those films a disservice. A combination of the direction, editing and a mediocre script manages to stamp on any possible sense of drama or suspense in this film.
The cast is pretty good and while some of the acting comes across as a little over the top I'd say that was largely down to the editing, which is just odd. As mentioned in other reviews the effects are quite poor at times but if the rest of the film was involving you might be able to get past that. Unfortunately its not.
The soundtrack has every cliched song about trucks you could think up, Six Days On The Road, I've Been Everywhere etc. Are we really supposed to beleive that these people drive around singing along to these songs , maybe that was supposed to be funny, I'm not sure. It also drags out every 'action' scene long past the point where you care what is happening, I think you could edit this down to 90 minutes or even less and end up with a (slightly) more entertaining film.
I thought this was maybe someone's first film but it seems the director has made films before that were quite good so I don't know what went on here. I feel for all the people who worked on this film given what it ended up like.
