Review of Joyride

Joyride (1977)
6/10
Good 70s atmosphere, better than expected

Warning: Spoilers
No Spoilers. 6 out of 10 stars. I wasn't expecting much from this movie, but it turned out to be better than average and highly watchable. If you are a 70s film buff like I am, then this movie is an even nicer find, cars, hair, dialogue, grainy atmosphere, no CGI, economic malaise...and a very pretty Melanie Griffith (with a few scenes of nudity to go along with it all). Alaska/Pacific Northwest in the 70s is also nice.

And no CGI, some car chases, some action, etc. All that being said, it's nothing amazing, I don't want to oversell the movie. Currently showing on Netflix streaming, worth putting in your queue.
