In the movie, Lewis Thomas buys a used car and sets out on the road to pick up Venna, the girl he has a crush on. On the way, he picks up his big brother Fuller, a frequent convict who goes along with Lewis to pick her up. On the way, they begin to play pranks on truck drivers with their CB radio and come across a lonely truck driver by the name of "Rusty Nail". They play on his feelings and pretend to be a girl and ask him to meet them at a motel. When the truck driver arrives at the motel, he is shocked to see a man in the room, and the brothers watch on and laugh as they hear his shock. But things take a turn for the creepy, when "Rusty Nail" freaks out and kills the man in the room. Now, "Rusty Nail" discovers they aren't who they say they are and he's out for blood in a relentless pursuit to torment them psychologically and physically.

This is somewhat reminiscent of Spielberg's "Duel", though the two don't compare, this does resemble the movie. You never get to see the driver "Rusty Nail" much, which was a good move. I thought it increased the tension of the movie and made him very mysterious. All we can hear throughout the entire movie is his scratchy creepy voice, which was pretty cool. The truck seems to be a character within itself like in "Duel." Just in case, "Duel" is a movie directed by Steven Spielberg, about a guy being tormented on the road by a madman in a big black truck. That was the epitome of thrillers even though it was an independent one. I thought the tension and dark dreary settings were cool and made it fun to watch. I suggest you give this a chance and watch it with some friends and a bowl of popcorn.

Two very very stupid characters dive head first into a barrage of ridiculous moves that ultimately get them in deep. That's the difference between this and "Duel". In "Duel", the main character is an innocent man being torment, throughout this movie, the main characters ask for it. The reason why Paul Walker's character doesn't deck Steve Zahn's character is beyond me. This is nothing compared to "Duel", and the characters just keep making one stupid move after another and I found it irritating to watch at times. Plus, the characters have no depth whatsoever. I found Leelee Sobieski's character to be as interesting as a piece of fruit, and the two dumb-asses in the leads are just dumb. And just when the movie seems to be taking a turn into scary, they mess it up when the driver gets his revenge the two brothers. Want to know how? All I'm saying is, it's really ridiculous.

Buyers beware, do not go into this movie expecting a masterpiece of horror movie fame, this is just a fun dumb movie. Seems Paul Walker is good at those.
