Product Description
Amazon.ca
An ex-con daredevil trucker must reinfect himself with white-line fever in order to save his wife and kid from nasty gunrunners in this enjoyably mindless, twisted-metal-fest from the director of Passenger 57. Longtime MIA action stud Patrick Swayze (who snagged the part after Kevin Sorbo had to suddenly vacate due to health problems) is even more expressionless than usual in the lead role, but helmer Kevin Hooks compensates with a seriously rocking country soundtrack, some pleasantly eccentric supporting characters (including erstwhile crooner Randy Travis and a way-over-the-top Meatloaf as a psychotic trucker preaching damnation by the dashboard light), and--most importantly--a whole lot of rolling iron getting smashed in spectacularly kinetic fashion. A low-down, down-home, cotton-picking flick that blows up real good. --Andrew Wright

This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time. I bought the movie and the soundtrack is awesome. Excellent truck driving in the movie. Very exciting, it kept me intrigued through the whole movie as to what was going to happen next.The acting is very good. Patrick Swayze is such a handsome man, he was the best part of the whole movie, but everyone did a great job.Red and his men got exactly what they deserved.If you enjoy a good action movie....then you will enjoy this one.I would rate it a 10.

Funny how some movies stick to you. The movie, as story line may not be oscar material, but the stunts presented in this movie are a definite 10!!!!!!!!!

Great trucking film
This one's essentially sort of a cross between the "Die Hard" series and the "Bandit" films, a great trucking film done as a straight action-thriller rather than for laughs. Read more

This is a good action movie. If you have never driven a truck, then some of the details of the film probably will be lost on you. Read more

Exploding Trucks Are Cool!
The movie's plot is simplistic. Jack Crews (Swayze) and Earl (Randy Travis) must deliver a load of illegal weapons or the terrorists kill Jack's family. Read more

"Smokey and the Bandit" Revisited
Cool sountrack...nowhere near Jerry Reed's heartfelt "Eastbound and Down" or "Bandit." Most of the songs are covers. Read more

Incredibly Bad!!
Whoever thought up this film was a little off the day it was hatched. This is a terrible movie, and its characters aren't even remotely interesting. Read more

"Black Dog" is Pure Genius
Patrick Swayze is back! What kind of a genius would put Meat Loaf and Randy Travis in a movie together? This movie has changed my life. You say 'no', but I say YES! Read more
