When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This quite some odd ball movie. The early scenes with Stacy Keach driving his lorry across the Australian wasteland are fine as he amusingly talks to himself or his dog. The opening killing is suitably stylish and strong but things begin to fade. Even the appearance of Jamie Lee Curtis cannot really save this from becoming just a little tedious. She seems rather awkward in the role and Keach try though he does, is clearly going to have difficulty carrying the bulk of this film by himself. We meet crazy Ausies every now and again (naturally!) and there are constant glimpses of the possible killer but it begins to occur to us that this is all there is and the last 20 minutes or so where the film descends into farce, leave the viewer very cold indeed.

Dear people at Criterion/Arrow etc,I recently watched this Australian film called Road Games starring American actors like Stacy Keach and Jamie Lee Curtis. Being an Indian, I do not understand the politics of the casting choices. But apparently there was an uproar about American actors acting in an Australian film.The film is very entertaining. It has this macho but creepy truck driver who has conversations with his dog and reads British poetry. He takes on a serial killer on the road. Stacy Keach plays the truck driver. Stacy was unlucky enough to be born in an era dominated by the likes of Brando, De Niro, Pacino and Nicholson. He is a very good actor. So much better than the likes of some of the chumps of the 90s and today.And there is Jamie Lee Curtis too. But she has a pretty small role.I watched the movie on Youtube and the daylight scenes had too much light in them. It is about time this movie got a Blu Ray treatment like Wake in Fright, another Aussie film which looks great on Blu Ray. Wont you guys at Criterion/Arrow help?The background score is by a guy called Brian May (not the guy who was in Queen). It is very good like in Hitchcock movies. But it does not elevate the film or anything.This is one of those movies that is almost entirely dependent upon the dialogs and the setting. The actors are solid. There are some interesting directorial flourishes which would be evident only if there is a good print of this film.Please release a Blu Ray of this film.Best Regards,Pimpin.

This was a pretty odd movie at times. It's got some black comedy to it, and it's almost Hitchcockian at times, without Alfred's pizazz. I'm gonna go and give this movie plenty of credit. It definitely does have some suspense and two kooky leads in Stacy Keach & Jamie Lee Curtis that I dug a lot, along with ambiguous ending of sorts as well. I was kind of mislead by this one. For some reason I expected a little more of a thriller than I did. It was a thriller, but it was much more subdued than I thought it would be. I had something along the lines of Duel or something like that (odd. I know) but I still dug it somewhat. Stacy Keach is excellent in the lead. He's always been an underrated actor, and here he proves why. He might just be a little more insane than the killer himself! His obsession with finding the killer is a hoot to watch. I was also amused at how much he talked to himself as well. Jamie Lee Curtis doesn't have as much screen time as you may think. When she's on, she shows off that charm that she is well known for; loved her chemistry with Keach as well. Final Thoughts: This won't be for everyone's cup of tea. It took me a while to fully digest what I thought of it. My verdict is that it's an above average film that works well in spades, but is not something I'd go near again. It's worth a watch for sure, though. It's certainly well done6.5/10

For me, this quirky little item came out of left field - and hit a home run. As has been oft pointed out, this is junior Hitchcock, and I think the master would have been impressed.The story, a mix of the familiar plus some very good new ideas, holds your attention. The Aussie outback scenery is most enjoyable and, of course, the acting is four-star.Jamie Lee looks so much better than she does on the tube hawking that yogurt, and Stacy Keach is always impressive. To digress: I spent the day with him and his brother, James, when they were in North Carolina's Outer Banks filming the Wright Brothers initial flight, exactly where it happened. It was for PBS and I'm not sure it was ever shown. A shame, too. The brothers were friendly - delightful company.Meanwhile, back in Australia and "Road Games." It is recommended for fans of suspense.The truck vs. van sequences were exciting. I always wonder, in scenes like those why there is no other traffic on the road. And, I wonder about the Aussies. The people in the store were nasty, the cops were nasty, Mel Gibson, in real life, is nasty.As for the Keach-Curtis flick, it is quite good and, by the way, the chemistry between the two was impressive. I picture them playing Monopoly between takes.
