Watch Exit Speed For Free

Such a frustrating disappointment

Good movie but grossly overrated

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Just by looking at the cover/poster for "Exit Speed", then you know that this is going to be one of those movies. But still, there is something oddly alluring about these movies that makes us come back and watch them. Perhaps it is because they tend to be some overly campy, or because there might be a snowball's chance in Hell that the movie will surprise everyone and turn out to be good."Exit Speed", however, did not turn out to be one of those movies that just blindsides you and turn out to be interesting or particularly entertaining.One of the things that actually made me sit down to watch "Exit Speed", despite knowing well enough that the chances that this would be another low budget failure of a thriller, was because the movie had Lea Thompson and Fred Ward in it.The storyline is probably what makes this yet another of those run-of-the-mill movies that flood the market and fail to make an outstanding notification of itself. "Exit Speed" is about a group of people on a bus that fall prey to a gang of bikers.Aside from the questionable storyline, then the characters in "Exit Speed" also turned out to be mechanical and one-dimensional. That means that you, as a spectator, doesn't really care about any of the characters in the movie.The effects in "Exit Speed" were simple, but they served their purpose well enough. However, don't expect to be blown away by a myriad of special effects or practical effects.I managed to sit through the entire movie, but I must admit that my attention span for the story was hard pressed. And while I did see the movie to the end, I can't really claim to have been properly entertained by what I witnessed in "Exit Speed".

Exit Speed has no big stars and not much production value, but it offers an agreeable enough entertainment adventure. It definitely has that low-budget, made-for-TV vibe. I actually think that this could have been a solid big screen movie with an upgraded cast and a bigger budget.The plot basically pits some everyday bus passengers against a biker gang out in the middle of nowhere. Some familiar character types are here, but there's also some left-field personalities (bow and arrow elven princess!) to keep the movie from being too cliché. It does drag on a bit, but it's extremely satisfying to see all the bikers meet their end at the climax. Watch it, if these kinds of movies are your thing.

This movie is like a longer, very well written and slightly more violent than normal episode of Walker, Texas Ranger…and I mean that in a complimentary and completely unsnarky way. Throw in some gratuitous nudity and Exit Speed would have made a worthwhile drive-in flick about 30some years ago. It's a solidly written, effectively directed and well performed melodrama.The plot is straight forward. A bus full of people heading down a Texas highway runs into a gang of violent and crazy bikers. The bus folk end up running over and killing two of the bikers, leading the rest of the gang to chase them down a back road and into a deserted junkyard where the bus passengers barricade themselves in and try and hold off their menacing enemies until they can figure out how to get help. I know that doesn't sound like much of a story, but it works because these filmmakers give all the bus passengers fairly distinct personalities and purposes to serve while keeping the audience genuinely in suspense as to how many of them, if any, are going to survive. None of it is terribly complex or deep. It's just simple, direct and engaging.Now, Exit Speed does have a decent-sized flaw in that the biker gang is never anything but a generic threat. They have no individual personalities or even any lines of dialog. You could have replaced them with a pack of wild coyotes or escaped lions from a traveling circus and there's very little you'd have to change about the story. And for some reason, the bikers are repeatedly shown doing these little riding tricks, like wheelies or there's this one guy who stands on top of his motorcycle and surfs it as it goes down the road. Apparently, these filmmakers thought showing violent, drug-addicted gang members doing these little riding tricks would make them seem more intimidating. It really, really, really doesn't. It makes them look more like hardware store owners and accountants who pretend to be a biker gang on the weekends. These crack smoking savages also demonstrate a level of patience, restraint and tactical thinking that's hard to believe.The flatness of its villains doesn't detract from the overall enjoyable nature of this film. There's efficient and unpretentious storytelling at work here that I quite liked. Now, I have seen a lot of cinematic excrement, movies so poorly written, asininely directed and atrociously acted that I may be over praising Exit Speed a bit. This isn't anything more than a thoroughly competent and professionally constructed "B" movie, but I've seen so many failed attempts at this exact same thing that I want to acknowledge when it's done well.

I saw "Exit Speed" (2008), in Dallas, at Studio Movie Grill. What adds to the excitement is the presence of the cast and crew, who joined us, while the film kept us on the edge of our seats! I haven't had so much fun since "Jaws" kept people out of the water, and "Psycho" (the Alfred Hitchcock version) kept people out of the shower! David Rees Snell, who plays Danny Gunn (the bus driver), looks so cute--while standing in his underwear (he should be able to get plenty of babes)! Too bad that the director chose not to use the character throughout the film. David Rees Small would add more action to the film, and would make the movie even more interesting. There were some things that could have been done differently. If the bus driver had not been killed, it would have added to the tension (driving the bus, while wounded, in an erratic way). The bus could have been driven by stunt drivers, and there could even have been some special effects. At some point, the survivors could have grabbed a gun, taken one of the motorcycles, and sought help (in this way, there would have been more survivors).All of the cast and crew do a wonderful job, and the movie keeps us well entertained. And, Everett Sifuentes, who plays the Spanish-speaking Mr. Vargas, provides comedy relief and steals the show!I hope this movie opens doors for these obviously artistic and creative people, who are very talented. There is plenty of action, and every cast member gives us his or her piece of the action. This movie may or may not be an award winner but, considering the fact that it was done on a tight budget, the film provides plenty of innovation and thrills!It is worth seeing, and I rank this film an 8 out of 10. You've probably never had a bus ride like this!
