You also get Meat Loaf as a Bible-thumping rube prone to yelling things like, “Witness the resurrection, brothers and sisters!” as he tries to run Swayze off the road. Go to Full Review

...a simple yet promising setup that’s employed to mostly engaging (albeit awfully hit and miss) effect by Hooks... Go to Full Review

Aug 24, 2017 the movie is classic 90's and has 90's humor. which is a good thing. as someone born in 86, by the time that it came out i was a preteen. even as an adult i love it. ive read the reviews on here. and people are judging it by today's standards. the 90's had a different tone to them. no matter the movie. swayze's character is a bit rough but likeable and shows that he will do what he needs to for family. not to mention. the soundtrack. is one of the best driving soundtracks EVER made. its got slow, its got fast, its got fun, its got emotional. i've listened to every song on that album at least a hundred times each if not more.
