Hans is a self-confident man, driving across the country with his wife and two daughters by his side. His ego gets the better of him when he gets into an argument with another driver. The van driver turns out to be the wrong man to cross on the road, and sets out to teach Hans a deadly lesson. Skillfully pushing the buttons of Hans's arrogance, a simple family road trip turns into a deadly obstacle course in this nerve-wracking, blackly comic morality tale thriller.

While the overall movie is a technical marvel, shot and edited to perfection by Bert Pot and Bert Jacobs, the kinetic majesty of what Crijns and his team manufacture would mean nothing without de Wolf's calmly unhinged magnificence.

Rated: 2.5/4

This well-choreographed hunt is chilling, sure - particularly because of de Wolf's terrifying performance and unconventional choice of weapon - but it's also a little bit fun.

Keith & the Movies

“Tailgate” is a movie that latches onto some pretty familiar material but does nothing new with it. It’s made worse by chaining us to an asinine lead character who is as witless as he is insufferable.

Rated: 1.5/5

In life, we all suffer minor irritations at the hands of peoples' general lack of situational awareness and humility, but imagine trying to make a horror movie out of it.

There isn't much to the story of Tailgate ... With writer/director Lodewijk Crijns' unceasing momentum and twisted sense of humor, though, [it] turns out to be enough.

Rated: 3/4
