PodBill Just what I expected

Matrixiole Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

lewishalket I first saw this movie not long after it was released and have always liked the setting of the movie - the dark winding frosty back roads which feel like they are in the middle of nowhere and going nowhere.This movie is playful, funny, eerie and suspensful all in one, whilst staying mostly believable. I would recommend giving this a watch for anybody who liked Joyride (Roadkill), Duel and similar movies.

perezandric I was pleasantly surprised with this movie. The acting is good. If you like movies that are not predictable, this is a movie I recommend to you. I liked the ending, and it kept me on the edge of my seat throughout the movie. I recommended it.The ending was unexpected and the story was interesting. I am done reviewing but IMDb wants users to post at least 10 lines, for some reason, so I have to keep going. I mean, what do they want me to do, tell everyone what happened from beginning to end? Do you realize how long 10 lines is? I could have finished this review in 3 lines, but again, rules are rules. I have been typing and typing and I have 8 lines so far. Anyway, I had cereal for breakfast today.

wes-connors On winter break in Minnesota, handsome Yale jock Shane Johnson (as Scott) and his cute scar-faced boyhood pal Josh Hammond (as C.J) take Mr. Johnson's underage little brother Jason Dohring (as Robby) to a regular Wisconsin roadhouse for some quick sex. Johnson hooks up with skanky Kiersten Warren (as Jeannine) while Mr. Hammond guzzles beer and pops Pez. Getting "lucky" for the first time, Mr. Dohring is invited to, "Unbuckle those pants, cowboy!" Alas, before everyone gets to climax (apparently), barroom brawls break out between the three interlopers and local rednecks… The three young men hightail it away from the scene. But they are pursued - and eventually terrorized - by the mysterious 1957 "Black Cadillac" which serves as the film's title. Along the way, Johnson picks up redneck sheriff Randy Quaid (as Charlie), who has police car trouble. Writer/director John Murlowski claims this is based on a true story. It's set up as a routine morality play on the sin of sex outside of marriage. With good support from cinematographer Steven Douglas Smith and the crew, Mr. Murlowski's "Black Cadillac" cuts corners, but winds up being an above average joyride.****** Black Cadillac (5/03) John Murlowski ~ Shane Johnson, Josh Hammond, Jason Dohring, Randy Quaid

Lechuguilla In a rural area of the upper Midwest three youthful dudes leave a rowdy bar on a cold, snowy night. Soon, they notice a car following them. It turns out to be a big, black Cadillac that just will not leave them alone.Huge amounts of dialogue, annoyingly shallow characters, and manipulative music characterize this low-budget horror flick from writer/director John Murlowski. Aside from the characters, another and even more serious problem with the film is the plot. Whoever is driving that Cadillac could take action against the kids at any time. Instead, the driver teases, torments, provokes, harasses the three kids, and in general prolongs the ordeal. Why? Because without the teasing and the harassment, you don't have a full-length feature film. The film's plot is thus ... contrived.Further, this is another one of those films wherein automobiles undergo horrendous physical torture, like in one scene of this film where the car careens off a high embankment. But then the car still runs. Wish I could find a car that durable.The film's cinematography is acceptable, if not exceptional. The visuals are dark. Some of the scenes involve rear screen projection, and a "camera shaker" for effect.To its credit, the film does have a Twilight Zone feel to it. The story takes place entirely at night, and with a general absence of other people, once we leave the bar sequence. Hence, the darkness and the sense of aloneness out on the open road does indeed foster some tension and suspense. But the story's resolution is ultimately disappointing."Black Cadillac" probably will appeal to younger audiences who may see in it some element of horror. But aside from the suspense derived from the dark and eerie atmosphere, I found the story to be hokey, the characters irritating, and the dialogue too talky, for the film to be satisfying.
