SO IS
IT ANY GOOD?
It's an
OK thriller. Somewhat derivative of Spielberg's Duel with an unseen
truck driver again stalking a hapless victim - although a reason for it
all is revealed in the end (unlike in Duel). Sometimes Tom's
dilemma seems a little forced as there often seems like there should be
ways to flee the truck using the strategy that film characters never
seem to consider - TOM! don't try and outrun the truck - just side-step
it when it gets close and then run up the ramps in the opposite
direction before it has time to turn and chase - then repeat for each
level as required. That would probably have made for a short and
boring film though. The entire film takes place in the car park
barring some flashback scenes featuring his girlfriend (Amy Locane).
The star
is Grayson McCouch who is possibly a newcomer - he is a suitably
square-jawed handsome leading man type - for followers of British police
drama The Bill he looks a bit like Scott Maslen (DS Phil Hunter).
Amy Locane and Adrian (Highlander) Paul are familiar names but otherwise
it’s a mostly un-starry cast.
