Just by looking at the cover/poster for "Exit Speed", then you know that this is going to be one of those movies. But still, there is something oddly alluring about these movies that makes us come back and watch them. Perhaps it is because they tend to be some overly campy, or because there might be a snowball's chance in Hell that the movie will surprise everyone and turn out to be good."Exit Speed", however, did not turn out to be one of those movies that just blindsides you and turn out to be interesting or particularly entertaining.One of the things that actually made me sit down to watch "Exit Speed", despite knowing well enough that the chances that this would be another low budget failure of a thriller, was because the movie had Lea Thompson and Fred Ward in it.The storyline is probably what makes this yet another of those run-of-the-mill movies that flood the market and fail to make an outstanding notification of itself. "Exit Speed" is about a group of people on a bus that fall prey to a gang of bikers.Aside from the questionable storyline, then the characters in "Exit Speed" also turned out to be mechanical and one-dimensional. That means that you, as a spectator, doesn't really care about any of the characters in the movie.The effects in "Exit Speed" were simple, but they served their purpose well enough. However, don't expect to be blown away by a myriad of special effects or practical effects.I managed to sit through the entire movie, but I must admit that my attention span for the story was hard pressed. And while I did see the movie to the end, I can't really claim to have been properly entertained by what I witnessed in "Exit Speed".

All along, I felt like I was watching a classic B-lister from a previous decade. A good one, entertaining, with atmosphere and character. Well written (which is rare enough nowadays), well acted... The pleasure taken translates into my note, a solid 7/10.Then I watched that extra on the DVD, the making of, and I couldn't believe how tiny the budget actually was. Plus, they were cursed with bad weather all along their three days filming, forcing them to be even more clever to hide any signs of rain on the film. Well, if true, and I have no reason to disbelieve, then all I can say is bravo! If I was to rate according to budget, this one would deserve a 10.

I can't believe I set through the whole thing. I laughed at the movie not with it. Was it supposed to be a comedy? The crazed bikers were so unbelievable. I wish I would have read the reviews before watching. The only redeeming quality was a few of the kill shots. BTW I registered just to warn others about what a waist of time this movie is. I am an avid motorcyclist myself & the skill that this bikers had was great which only made it more unbelievable that they were total crank heads. To attain that level of ability one would have to be very clear. Not screwed up speed freaks with no brain cells left and the music score was atrocious.

I would not have expected much from a film titled 'Exit Speed'. However, my brother recommended it and I decided to give it a shot. In a nutshell, 'Exit Speed' is a thriller about a group of passengers travelling to Texas when, on the way, they are attacked by a murderous biker gang. It is pretty much what one would call a popcorn thriller. The film would have been more fun to watch had the execution been up for the marks. It looks like a past midnight TV movie or a straight-to-video flick. It certainly would have benefited with a bigger budget and more style. The cinematography is dull. The background score is awful. Most of the cast, with the exception of Lea Thompson act from mediocre to bad. Thompson is the only one who's up for the mark. But perhaps a bright side is that the worst actors are killed off. The suspense is maintained well enough. Surely it is easy to predict who will die and what will happen next and so on but the tension between the gang and the passengers and within the passengers is well conveyed. 'Exit Speed' will perhaps be best enjoyed if the viewer took it for what it is rather than nitpick. It's nothing more than a popcorn thriller.
