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.

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

It's not doing much unique, but it's a fun enough action/thriller. If you're a fan of truck or chase films or any of this cast you should have some fun with this.

Rated 3 out of 5 stars

A tight 89 minute long thriller that Director Kevin Hooks (The Orville, Supernatural) does very well with the late great Patrick Swayze (Tall Tale, 11:14) playing a different kind of action hero he was used to

Rated 4 out of 5 stars
