1 nomination

user's review: 10/10

I only want to point out that I find Eric Roberts to the best, and most believable chase victim ever, despite his tough appearance. I mean the choked voice when he tries to convince somebody that there's a psycho driving an ambulance and picking up people from the streets...brilliant! And the way he runs around trying to save the girl, and later on, himself. Wow, the man puts his soul into it like no other! He clearly should have had a different career path, but what can one do, when Hollywood demands full submission.So... you can play the wild child on screen, but not in real life, like Eric did. Well, nevertheless, the man is brilliant even today, playing some second rate cop in some second rate TV show.

James Earl Jones,...whatever - the movie is bizarre, unsettling, but most of all it's an excellent pretext for Eric to unleash!

p.s.-I tend to rate movies NOT by comparing them to others but by appreciation as to what they stand for and HOW they stand for it, so it's not uncommon for me to over-grade as is the case with this(if you were to compare it to other action B-movies it would be subjective judging, but I view it as an artistic exercise, and it's quite interesting as such).

Very good film, I can add this to shared once I find the disk with it on. I got this from a friend who found it in a horror hub on DC++
