The highway to hell runs straight through a college campus in this compelling thriller about a killer truck. After helping a pretty co-ed out of a nasty domestic situation, Jim Travis gives the girl a lift home. But once on the road, the situation takes a white-knuckle twist as Jim gets into a frightening duel with a crazy truck driver.
[spoilers] A boyfriend/ex-boyfriend turns psychotic after an argument with his girlfriend where he abuses her in public and she says she doesn't want to see him again. Despite the argument being in public, almost no one in the background seems to care about the women being harassed. From there, it's a version of Duel or Unhinged for a more recent film. When they begin to be chased, there is a lack of fear shown by the characters that makes the tension the viewer could feel be lost, and this can be said about many instances throughout the movie. For example, later on, they are being chased, to what could be there deaths, and they are "Woo Hooing" through over a jump... It's amazing! Some of the other non-chase dialogue is bad as well where the two main characters chop and change moods like it's their time of the month. And at the end, the protagonists seem to jump out of different doors but somehow end up together... It's not terrible for the type of car chase movie it is, but the script needed more time in the writers' room.
