Exit Speed (2008)

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.

A great little survival Thriller with a cast of great characters!!! A bunch of people on a coach on xmas eve are traveling through texas when an accident causes a gang of psycho bikers to attack the coach & it runs off the lonesome road & into an old junkyard & there is where it gets really exciting. Desmond Harrington from Wrong Turn & Ghost Ship is one of the passengers & he's really cool in this & brings yet another good & serious performance to his ordinary guy role. Fred Ward is also really great as an old timer from the Army tracking one of the passengers down, we also have some incredible performances from some very strong women characters like from lea Thompson!!! A great small cast trying to find weapons & survive the night against faceless evil bikers & IT'S great fun, the type of easy watching late night Thriller that's made on a tiny budget but with real heart

It's Christmas in Texas. Military Police Archie Sparks (Fred Ward) is hunting AWOL Corporal Meredith Cole (Julie Mond). She escapes and boards a bus with a variety of passengers. The bus is harassed by a passing biker gang. One of the bikes fall over and the bus runs over it. The biker starts shooting killing the bus driver and others. They manage to kill the biker but the rest of his friends come looking for revenge. They drive into an isolated scrap yard and must fend off the criminals.The story is thin and worthy of any number of B-movies. It's not that believable in the age of cell phones and interconnectivity. The whole movie isn't that realistic. The biker gang seems more like central casting rejects. It's a cross between Mad Max 2 and Home Alone. The junk yard is stock full of MacGyver material. There is some cat-and-mouse stuff in the night. It does have some fun 80s action. There are some solid actors here doing it for the paychecks.

An enjoyable return to the 'what if everybody was in the desert and wanted to kill everyone on the other side with just the resources they can salvage...' The kind of thing we used to enjoy on video in the 80's with a couple of well recognisable talents from great 80's movies. Leah Thompson - still got it and looking just as lovely, Fred Ward just as gritty, and Desmond Harrington every bit as good as he is in TV's Dexter. Never dull, never predictable and quite some violent action give Exit Speed the right ingredients for a gratuitous normal folks fighting back scenario. More than adequate talent makes this picture a great DVD watch for fans of straight out action.

This movie is about a group of holiday bus travelers that, when attacked, accidentally run over two bikers. The rest of the bikers rally to try to kill the passengers on the bus. The Coach in this movie should have been put down early by his own people. The biker gang is apparently all mute because none of them utter a word throughout the movie. The movie did a poor job of re-using bike actors after the first version of them is killed off. It was very obvious that they were the same actors. There were so many actions taken in this movie that were just too stupid to allow it to be a good movie. It had 3 good actors and Fred Ward. Even Remo Williams couldn't help this movie. My favorite character spoke no English, but he was the brightest of the bunch. I would suggest waiting until this movie comes to cable to satisfy any curiosity you may have about whether it's worth watching. It's not,
