Editorial Reviews

A B-movie thriller executed with zest and precision, Joy Ride is like an MTV Road Rules episode gone horribly awry. The story follows two brothers -- dutiful Lewis (Paul Walker) and former jailbird Fuller (Steve Zahn) -- who make the mistake of taking an innocent prank too far while on a freewheeling cross-country drive. This lands them in the crosshairs of a mysterious truck driver (an uncredited Ted Levine), known only to the brothers as a throaty, disembodied voice on their CB radio (his handle: "Rusty Nail"). The inexplicably brutal trucker makes the siblings, and Lewis's friend Venna (Leelee Sobieski), pawns in a deadly chess game. In a movie that's light on character development and heavy on tension, Zahn's characterization drives the movie with a surfeit of mischief and charm. Comparisons to Steven Spielberg's paranoia road-rage classic Duel are inevitable, but director John Dahl (Rounders) gives this fine-tuned muscle car of a movie a fresh look of its own. He knows well that the nail-biting cat-and-mouse games of Clay Tarver and J. J. Abrams's script keep the story in overdrive, making for a taut genre trip sure to remind you that danger is often closer than it appears to be. The DVD edition features the director and writers, as well as Zahn and Sobieski, plus alternate endings and a deleted scene. Stuart Gazzo, Barnes & Noble

February 08, 2005: This movie was alright and intersting since it has Paul Walker having to do some car chases as he did in The Fast and the Furious then in 2 Fast 2 Furious. He is okay in this and little entertaining near the end mostly.

July 22, 2003: This was a decent movie overall. Some of the acting was blase' and I felt it was a juvenile movie. It was a good try though.
