Survival Run (1979)
6/10
Action and Teenagers in the 80s = Awesome Combo!

Warning: Spoilers
"Survival Run" has all the elements of a whimsical teen flick: likable young characters get out on their own by taking a road trip, only to be faced with a tough situation that they must overcome as friends.

But wait, this ain't no regular teenybopper fare. Enter Peter Graves and Ray Milland, two cantankerous old dudes doing some kind of shady deal out in the desert--not far from where our heroes have lost their van in an offroad accident.

Well, push comes to shove. Stuff happens. Gunplay ensues. Will the kids be able to kill the killer old guys?

You've gotta watch it to find out.

Now, I did enjoy it. But I like these kinds of movies. And I can easily see how someone might not enjoy it. So you've got to judge this one for yourself. If you have low standards and are pre-disposed to liking stupid 80s action/teen movies, I am positively sure you will not completely hate "Survival Run."

But if you're a movie snob...stay away from this at all costs. Don't say I didn't warn you.
