Imaculata I have seen a lot of terrible movies, but this movie is a close contender for the worst movie of all time. It's even worse than Batman and Robin, and I don't say that lightly. This movie literally made me want to rip out my own eyes. We were screaming at the screen: "End! Please roll credits! For the love of God, please end!" And it kept going and going. It is entirely shot in front of a green screen, and no attempts were made to find a real desert (like some sand and some rocks are hard to find!). No attempts were also made to make anything look convincing, such as turning on a fan so the hair of the actors is at least moving while they are driving in an open car. It drags on and on, with very little story to speak of, and yet endless exposition delivered in the worst way possible. It's all carried by awful mellow rock songs, and keeps going and going. And just when you think the movie is over, it gives you yet more terrible songs you have to sit through. Roll those credits already! How is this movie getting such great reviews? Am I even on the right planet here? This movie is horrendous!
kelso-bee Saw it in Las Vegas as part of a film festival here. Head and shoulders above all other films in the festival and it received a best picture award which was deserved. It was the best film I have seen in this festival so far (I've seen I think 30 films so far). This was a big step up in the theater and this film had the best photography I have seen in a theater in a longtime. It didn't rely on shaky cam or other tricks but instead was like a painting come to life. It reminded me of the paintings in the michael mann film manhunter. creepy and unbelievably vivid and colorful. the acting was surprising, although my expectations were low based on the other film's in the festival. Mike Pare was excellent. I usually find him dull and wooden but in this movie The guys a movie star. Clare Kramer was so gorgeous to look at that she was seductive and frightening in the same moment. Definitely up there with Antony hopkin's as hannibal the cannibal. same level of performance. she was so creepy and scary but fascinating at the same time. its was weird how violent and ruthless she was yet I found myself feeling sympathetic towards her. She has real talent. Her partner in crime was really great as well. Loved seeing the actress from Warriors again. another nice performance. believe pare, kramer and the warriors actress all won awards that night. so even though I never heard of streets of wire, the film did a good job of setting up its world and all the drama from the character's past. the amazing thing is how they used rock music all the time to tie the film and characters together. I think there's been a films in the past 10 years that tried this but this was the best rock music movie i can remember, by far. as the credits played at the end there was a lot of clapping and big smiles everywhere. i think everyone was glad they could let out a breath and it was very up feeling in the theater. hat's off to everyone who made this film. finally something entirely original and unexpected. not a moment where you could relax and nothing predictable in anyway. I would love to see it again.
Cody Pittman I finally had the pleasure to see "Road To Hell" at the Pollygrind Film Festival screening in Las Vegas, NV on 10/17/12. Where it just so happened to win 9 amazing awards, including Best Picture. This film finds Michael Pare's iconic Streets Of Fire character 28 years after him and Elenn went their separate ways. "Cody" has been off being a solider again, as we are told by his sister Reva(Deborah Van Valkenburgh)fighting a war, literally and mentally. He is on a journey back to Edge City to find "Ellen" & the daughter he never knew(Roxy Gunn), when he comes across 2 beautiful spree killers. Cody has the fight of his life on his hands with not only the murderous Clare Kramer & Courtney Peldon but with his own personal demons. Going into this film I was already a huge "Streets Of Fire" & Michael Pare' fan. Thanks to the phenomenal writing by Cynthia Curnan the film drew us all in from the opening scene ... and didn't let go until the ending credits. It is a pure cinematic treat. It has everything a movie-goer could ask for: a main character that everyone is rooting for even though he is a severely flawed human being, gorgeous women with guns, violence, sex, some comedy, a killer original rock n roll soundtrack - with some songs even from Streets of Fire - all perfectly performed by The Roxy Gunn Project, intense moments that leave you breathless and scared, all mixed into a film that I will admit brought tears to my eyes and gave me goosebumps. The acting in this movie is very well done and for all you Michael Pare' fans - he has never been better...He can say more with a stare in this film than most actors could with an entire monologue. The break out star in this film is Roxy Gunn, who plays Cody's long lost daughter Ellen. She is magical in this film. Not only are you drawn into her by her sweetness and beauty but the girl can sing! I mean really, really sing! The songs are timeless and will be sure to have you humming and singing them a week later. Trust me I know from experience. Road To Hell is perfectly casted. Each character is completely believable in their role, and each leaves you wanting more. The film also is extremely beautiful to watch. The colors portray death, sex, destruction and redemption. The way it was filmed by veteran director Albert Pyun & visual effects by Daniel Ray Gutierrez is really mesmerizing. I really can't say enough about Road To Hell. I recommend it to everyone, Streets of Fire fans or not!
jackburden I saw this film earlier this month with Michael Pare and its makers in attendance. They all got up on stage before the film started, and it is amazing in retrospect how enthusiastic they were about this "unofficial sequel" to Streets of Fire, which we had all just watched Before RtH began. Road to Hell is an experimental film at best, and that's being kind. The cut we saw was just under an hour, so it was too long to be a short and too short to be a feature. It was entirely green screened, and lots of the shots came off looking like poorly constructed car commercials or automotive trade show sets, as nearly every shot in this "movie" centered around a jeep. The Jeep looked too new, as if they lacked the budget to rough up a Jeep for the production and used their own daily driver instead. Also, it's difficult to tell when you watch this whether there are two different jeeps or just one--did Tom Cody have his own Jeep in addition to the female lead's Jeep? I couldn't tell. The dialog was laced with f-bombs to the point of absurdity, and there is a needless and inexplicable exploration of violence against women which appears to me to be completely incongruous with the Tom Cody character. Mind you that I'm not in the least squeamish when it comes to seedy characters--I think Bukowski is great literature. In this case it's just that the makers of Road to Hell have only invested about 5 percent of whatever scant talent they have in this production. I give a 1/10 very rarely, but this film really does make another 1/10, No Holds Barred, look like Citizen Kane.
