Livestonth I am only giving this movie a 1 for the great cast, though I can't imagine what any of them were thinking. This movie was horrible

Cooktopi The acting in this movie is really good.

Kinley This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Raul Faust When you decide watching a Stephen King based on and you haven't been told any spoiler of it, you know you will get surprised. "Riding the Bullet" isn't an exception. In this story, we have a man who possibly suffers from a severe psychiatric disorder; that being said, it's not difficult to imagine the hallucinations he has all the time. The acting in this movie is just great, with highlights to David Arquette, who proved to be able to play something other than a dumb cop. To be honest, his character is interesting-- and quite scary. In fact, every character in this story is scary in its own way, and sometimes it feels difficult to distinguish what is real is what is not. Directing and editing are creative, sometimes utilizing slow-motion in order to intensify the atmosphere of the scene. The plot, albeit being a little too crazy for some moments, proves to be intelligent when mentioning Freud and the Freudian slip thing. However, the best thing about this picture is the ending, in which we have a beautiful reflection about life, past and future, which can be thought about after the film is over. You just have to be a little patient and darting to understand and enjoy it!

Neil Welch Alan is a morose youth who hitches home from college after learning that his mother is dying. Not every driver is ideal though.Stephen King is probably my favourite author (in that I like both the general area he covers and also his style) and it is always interesting to see filmed adaptations of his work. Not always enjoyable, but always interesting. The problem is that it is easy to capture the physical events of his stories, but the best part of the writing is what goes on in the heads of the character. This adaptation of a short story tries to address this by various means, as a consequence of which you are never quite sure whether what you are seeing is real (whether now or flashback) or imagination, hallucination or the like.Mick Garris, who seems to be King's collaborator of choice, does the same sort of job here which he has done on so much of King's material - he produces a competent but relatively thrill-less TV movie. The problem here is that this is a cinema release, and so it seems reasonable to expect the stakes to have been raised. Apart from some bad language and a couple of bare breasts, it hasn't, and this film is not the one to result in my reconsideration of Garris as a journeyman director. Other directors do King much better (also, to be fair, many are no better than Garris).Incidentally, this isn't one of King's better stories: it recycles elements of Christine, The Talisman, and The Road Virus Heads North, to name but three.

ctomvelu-1 Every time I watch this adaptation of a Stephen King story about a college student hitchhiking home to see his ill mother, my mind starts to wander and I either doze off or change the channel and then switch back occasionally to see if anything has happened. Nothing ever does, and I have watched this flick several times. The only remotely interesting character is the delectable Erika Christensen as the young guy's gal pal, but she is outta there before the halfway mark. I wish she had been the one going home to see mom. Unfortunately, it is a bland male actor named Jonathan Jackson, and while he's OK, he does not exactly set the world on fire here. David Arquette wildly overacts as one of the people who picks up the hitchhiking Jackson. Cliff Robertson is another, and he is only marginally better than Arquette. Barbara Hershey is the mom. The title refers to an old wooden roller coaster, for those who don't know. Set back in time, there are some badly executed moments involving the period in question.

thimiost As a horror film it doesn't scare.As a psychological thriller doesn't get you anxious.I think that they tried to balance between them and fell into the river.The acting though wasn't bad.Music was good too.Haven't read the book to know if the plot sticks to the movie but it was a little swallow.It is a bad replica of the shining with the other characters except the main having anything to offer.Especially the grim reaper character who was just for laughs.Do your self a favor.Don't lose your time watching this movie.I like horror movies but this ain't one.It is more like a comedy with bad acting except the main character who wasn't anything special either.
