If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Wow! What a bizarre film! Unfortunately the few funny moments there were were quite overshadowed by it's completely weird and random vibe throughout.
This story has more twists and turns than a second-rate soap opera.
The film never slows down or bores, plunging from one harrowing sequence to the next.
THE LAST RIDE ***1/2 Great title for an okay spy/action/heist-gone-wrong tale that has an ex-convict (Dennis Hopper, nearly 70 years of age at the time) getting back at the foul cop-turned-forces manager (Fred Ward) who sold him out in the first place. A young renegade (Chris Carmack, admittedly impressive), the grandson of the former jailer, gets caught up in the mess when he decides to help his long-lost grandfather carry out the plan. The script is similar to that of 'The Recruit' and 'Partners' since it doesn't cover much ground or develops its characters very well in spite of a promising storyline. (I think Rob Cohen should stick to directing...) It's a real shame; still, fairly good entertainment.
The film deals about an intrigue involves various family members : son (Chris Carmack) , father (Will Patton) , adoptive father (Fred Ward) and an ex-con grandfather called Ronnie (Dennis Hooper). After thirty years he goes out from behind bars and arise the problems but the reckoning starts with the subsequent revenge . He enlists his grandson to execute the vengeance against the policeman and now a magnate who put him into prison . As he recruits his descendant to exact vendetta on Darryl , the cop who put him behind bars .This exciting picture blends action-packed , car racing , pursuits , rip-roaring and a little bit of violence . From the beginning to finish the action pace is unstopped , the movie provides fast and furious entertainment for action lovers , in fact the movie is produced by Rob Cohen , a specialist in action films . Film is starred by agreeable young people as an impulsive Chris Carmack and a gorgeous Nadine Velazquez ; and magnificent veterans as Dennis Hooper , Will Patton and Fred Ward ; besides appearing very secondary Peter Onorati in a role as a nasty hit-man . The car races are driven by authentic stunts with spectacular vehicles , being a production by the company General Motors . The film has a lively and atmospheric musical score fitting the action , plus a colorful cinematography . This TV film was well directed by Guy Bee . The motion picture will appeal to frenetic action lovers . Rating : Mediocre but amusing . It's a must for the cars buffs . Well worth seeing .
This is a movie about fast cars. Yes, another movie about fast cars. You thought we were done with those didn't you? Well, apparently we are not. And of course, this movie has some young stud that can really ride a car. And what else can we put in this movie, yes, one young hot girl that is a car mechanic. Not only a car mechanic, but a car mechanic that wears as little as she can, while SHE WELDS. Yes, I have heard that that is a really good idea. If you look away from the small plot holes and stuff like that, this movie isn't as bad as the Fast and Furious movies, but it is still not good. Don't really know what Dennis Hopper is doing in this movie, but I doubt that he is proud of it. But if you are a car nut and about the age of 18, you will probably enjoy this movie. If you don't like movies like Fast and Furious and Biker Boyz etc, stay as far away as you can. I rate this movie 3/10
This was really a fun movie that had some great car action. The trailer I saw on TV looked pretty good but I didn't have much expectation since it was a cable movie. I ended up pleasantly surprised. The old and new GTOs looked great in the movie and the autoshow scene was pretty cool. I really liked Dennis Hopper's character and really liked the younger talent. The ending was a big surprise! I didn't see that coming. There was a nice development of the characters while still maintaining the action that I was looking for. The creator of the "Fast and the Furious" and "XXX" didn't disappoint for this cable flick. While, it may not have been worthy of the big screen, I would actually watch it again. For a made-for-TV movie, I gave it a 9. I usually won't bare to sit through made-for-TV movie. This one was worth it.
