Joyride (1997)

Honestly I saw this film accidentally I thought it was Joy Ride (2001) by JJ Abrams. But no it was the worst piece of F***ing S*** I have ever seen. 1st the movie starts out slow for about the first 45 minutes and the movie is an hour and 33 minutes. This movie was awful the acting oh my God like the detective with the sunglasses oh my God I have seen Ed Wood movies with better actors. He is always is monotone why I don't know. But Toby he was even worse he just always smiles and is a sex machine is bothered me this movie should not exist. The plot was about these 3 kids who steal a car which is owned by an assassin and they find a body in the trunk and now the assassin is going to kill them if they don't give her the car back that's about it. So if you find this movie buy but don't watch run it over with your car because that is what it deserves this was it's time for gaming and movies too videos coming soon.

This isn't award material. The dialog is pretty bad, and the story really doesn't go as far as it could have.It is, however, a chance to see Tobey Maguire before he fell in love with Mary Jane. Here, he is all ga ga over Tanya (Amy Hathaway - "My Two Dads"), who is the first woman to show him her body.You also get to see a young Benicio Del Toro, who played a detective trying to solve a murder.I would have liked to see the character played by Christina Zilber beefed up. She was a hit-woman whose car they stole for a joyride.Adam West, who was "Batman" in the 60s, played a pervy father that pimped out Tanya for blackmail.Worth a watch for historical value.

Joyride was a fantastic piece, a classic mix of dark comedy, gangster/cop-ish, teenage drama with maturity.This film is about two guys from a small town trying to find some entertainment. Together with a girl who was currently living at the motel to which one of the characters fathers' owned, one night stole a car. Unfortunately the car belonged to a killer, on finding the dead body in the trunk, they disposed of the body in the lake, to where all the trouble started.I really enjoyed this film it was funny and it never took things to seriously. Tobey maguire is nothing like his usual roles. It was a nice chance to see him out of character and what seemed "free" at times. Considering that this film is practically un-heard of, i think the acting was superb. Each actor/ess got into their characters wonderfully.In all i think this was a decent film, i would even go as far as calling it good. There was little to fault in this film and throughout the whole 93 minutes i was glued to the screen (not literally) in anticipation of what was going to happen next. Its a sweet sexy and slick film, which ends magnificiently.Any Tobey Maguire fans?--its right up your street! Anybody else?-- its worth seeing to, its not over the top and its a really pleasant film to watch.

I watched this movie because it starred Tobey Maguire. I read some comments and a review or two beforehand and as a consequence I expected it to be dire. However it wasn't, though it wasn't particularly good either. The performances were average, except for Benicio del Toro who was awful. The script definitely needed some work - there were a lot of loose ends dangling around that could have been tied together. Tobey Maguire is the lead actor, but towards the end of the film it seemed that his role tapered off in relevance to the story.The direction was flashy in a pointless sort of way. There were hardly any close ups used. I would recommend this film only really for die-hard Tobey Maguire fans as it is interesting to see him in a early role, before he got to work with first class directors of the likes of Ang Lee, Lasse Hallstrum and Woody Allen who he has obviously learned a llot from,since his performance in this film is a million miles away from his work in Spider-Man or Pleasantville or any of the other excellent films he has done in recent years.
