Joy Ride description Joy Ride follows the familiar conventions of road-movie thrillers with enough vitality to make everything old seem new again. A confirmed master of neo-noir suspense, director John Dahl (Red Rock West, The Last Seduction) sets a consistent tone of humor and horror as Lewis (Paul Walker) and his black-sheep brother Fuller (Steve Zah ... review details |

| ♥♥♥♥♥ | Surprisingly good! |
| I remember watching the trailer for Joy Ride when it was first released in theatres. It looked creepy but I knew that most "scary" movies aren't all that good so I wasn't expecting much. Surprisingly, I found it be pretty good.
So what's this movie about? Two brothers pick up a female friend to go on a roadtrip. The car they're driving in is equipped with a CB radio that they decide to use as some sort of entertainment. As a joke, they pretend they're a lady looking for some action and they ultimately get the attention of a man using the handle "Rusty Nail". When Rusty Nail finds out that it was all a joke, he plots revenge and has the trio running for their lives. Let's talk about the positives. First, the three main characters are played by relatively popular actors. The brothers are played by Steve Zahn and Paul Walker and the female friend is played by Leelee Sobieski. In general, the acting is pretty good and not over the top. Second, it's tough to come up with good storylines for "scary" movies but Joy Ride's storyline is fresh and rather entertaining. Furthermore, it makes the movie even more creepy because it's real and believable. What makes a scary movie really good is when you're terrified for the characters and this film had me wondering what I'd do in their situation. Lastly, the ending had me biting my nails in anticipation and it was perfect for the movie. And what's not to like? Not much. The reason for the 4 stars is because I'm a huge horror movie fan and although a lot of scenes were creepy and obviously scary for the characters, it didn't instill enough terror in me to make me want to watch it over and over again. If you're looking for a good thriller to watch on a rainy night, pick this one up. |
