Console best movie i've ever seen.
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
michaeljcarr The film is not as bad as I was led to believe. There is promise of what could have been. "Interstate" pays homage to one of the earlier films in the film noir genre, "Detour" and is kind of a road-noir.There is, however a bright light and a revelation to this film. The emergence of a young face well-suited to film noir. A very gifted actress by the name of Alexandra Ackerman, who should have a long and prosperous career in film. As the female lead, Veronica she is alluring and seductive. You can't take your eyes off her. She is every guy's vision of a goddess. There is something captivating about her. While this may not be a great film, the mere presence of this actress makes it worth watching. I look forward to seeing other films with her in the lead. For this reason alone, I recommend the film.
artpf A Montreal DJ, following his girlfriend to Los Angeles, falls into a deadly relationship with a couple of female hitchhikers.Sounds like it could be fun, right?Well firstly the title music is horrible. It makes you want to run just to get a way from it. I had to FF thru the titles.Next, the acting is horrendous. And the film making is so shoddy that in one of the initial scenes (in the car) the girl has flies on her and no one re-shot the scene!!!OMG!Of course the car breaks down. Oy Vey. The one positive thing I can say is that the color is really nice. It pops. Other than that, the movie is horrible.It seems that it was marketed as a "film noir" but whoever came up with that bright idea doesn't know the first thing about film noir. DOA is film noir, Detour is film noir. This is garbage. The truth is, the writer stole a scene right out of Detour! Amazing.
hpmc6 I normally don't round up with my ratings (I would put this at a 7.5 if IMDb had decimal ratings), but I'm giving this an 8 because I think it's gotten a tough break from existing ratings, which I hadn't reviewed before I rented it.I was attracted to the film because I am familiar with and enjoy the region it is set in.All of the characters and acting are good. I didn't like the sacrilege of the Jesus burger, but it was creative. The FX section of the DVD really showed interesting use of special effects to create interesting locations out of run down places. The choice of the 1963 (or 1964) Lincoln gave the film a cool look that fit the setting. The film has an enjoyable somewhat psychedelic visual style. The plot unfolded in a way that was plausible, but not predictable, but was not over complicated to the point of being tiring. The scene with the cop was suspenseful and surprising. Veronica was very seductive and entertaining, a well chosen foil for the laid back Edgar (the nice guy who just stumbles deeper and deeper into trouble). Edgar was hilarious when Veronica told him the gum was laced with LSD. Gloria also fit the chemistry well. Chloe played the straight role of the mostly normal girlfriend convincingly. Allen was well played and the film threw an interesting fake at the audience by suggesting that he might be a serial killer with the blue garment that Gloria uses as a pillow in the back seat of the car. It all tied up well at the end.All in all, the director really did a great job considering the low budget, sometimes a lower budget can make for a superior film, as many of today's film clichés (long boring chases/action sequences etc) are expensive to produce. A smaller budget can force more creativity with what they have. This was a better than average film, produced with a fraction of the average budget, and a refreshing break from the same old Hollywood stuff.
Bugmenotflip Saw this at a film festival last year. This isn't a typical thriller. It's more of a mystery noir film. Moody lighting, low key acting, murder and femmes fatals. If you rent it expecting car chases and fight scenes you'll be left on your appetite. If you're a fan of film noir, crime stories, this little gem will not disappoint. It also reminded me of Detour, the 1945 film by Edgar Ulmer. There is some creative use of camera work and lighting. Like I say, it's all very subtle compared to the typical "thrillers" we get nowadays. The special effects are great. With many Route 66 locations depicted like over the top Americana. The actors have some great moments, and other not so great but overall very professional considering their age. Music and sound could have been better but then again, this is low budget film making. I would recommend this movie to teenagers and fans of film noir everywhere.
