Throttle (2005)
Well shot, watch worthy film
So we have a truck chasing a guy around in a parking garage. Well, I like the choice of vehicle which is a mid-80's K-5 Chevrolet Blazer. I know because I used to own one. These trucks are very tough and dependable.
However...it would Never have smashed through a concrete pillar in the garage because those things are tied together with steel rebar inside. But, it looks cool for the movies.
The guy ran from the truck and could have very easily been run over, but I suppose the driver was just toying with him. OK, that works too.
What I hate the most and cost a vote for a higher number, is the damn dubbing for the sound of the truck. Horrible. A K-5 Blazer does NOT sound like that. I just can't stand when they do that. Heck, you can record the actual sound of the truck and dub it in for the sake of volume control.
The stunts were pretty cool and the acting wasn't half bad. Overall I gave it a 6. Good film for a night at the house with nothing on television and certainly better than some of the other crap on Netflix.
