harbingerofapocalypse Horrible, horrible movie. I though Getaway, with Ethan Hawke and Selena Gomez, was the bottom of the barrel as far as car chase movies. But that mound of suck is Shakespeare comparatively. Very sad that this was one of Walker's last films. I understand that this was low-budget, and as stupid as some of the story and character actions are, they are not the main problem with this. Its main issue is technical. This is one of the worst-shot films I've ever seen. I've seen no-budget films that look better, have better camera placement and scene blocking, and easier-to-follow action. 3/4 of the shots are close-ups where one of the actor's head takes up half of the screen area. Action scenes are quick-cut nonsensically. Editing is horrible. I've read that the intention was to give a claustrophobic feel to the movie as it almost entirely takes place from inside a vehicle. But there are competent ways to give that feel and then there are incompetent ways. This film is big on incompetency.
Matthew Luke Brady There's a movie out there called Locke starring Tom Hardy and in that movie he's in the car the whole time and well that's a better well written movie then this (Just saying)The story is about a recently paroled man unwittingly picks up the wrong rental vehicle, having just got off a long haul flight. He soon realizes that he is the target of an entire police force that will use any means necessary to stop him and the tied up female "passenger" he discovers in the trunk, from getting to the courthouse to testify against top-to-bottom local corruption.I got to be honest here the only reason I watched this movie is because of the sad lost of Paul Walker. I normally do this when a big name star dies and their very last performance you every going to see them in that I normally go searching for the last role so I can see them one last time, and thank god Paul's last role was in Furious 7 and not this movie because Vehicle 19 is seriously not that good.Vehicle 19 tries to be smart and original and some how comes off a stick in the mood who framed me or who's after me story line that's turning into a cliché now as every movie is doing that.If you haven't seen my Furious 7 review (Which you should) I already give a little tribute to the late great Paul Walker at his finest, but in this movie he looks like his about to go to sleep feeling bored which is basically me watching this movie. He didn't do a bad job but he didn't do nothing outstanding. Paul buddy I miss you and I respect you as a person but you look like you don't want to be there and I won't blame you on that.The movie overall tries to do something groundbreaking and something new which back fired.
brgn Initially, the movie seemed very appealing: a high-octane, car-chase-filled movie starring Paul Walker, combined with the novel idea of shooting a film entirely from within a vehicle.Now, I don't like to over-analyse films - I don't care about 'character development' or anything like that - I just want a film to grab my attention for a few hours. Vehicle 19 failed to do this.Right from the start, you'll be frustrated. The main character makes stupid decision after stupid decision, lacking an ounce of sense - it's almost worth watching the start to realise how ridiculous it is.So these actions end up to him being on the run (as you'll see from the trailers), but it's the total opposite of being action-packed. The few short car chases involve Paul Walker driving a 7-seat minivan, so car enthusiasts stay clear - no Fast&Furious-style gearshifts or handbrake turns... The plot itself does liven up a bit eventually, but not enough to save the movie.In short: boring, unrealistic, flat. I normally like poorly rated titles on IMDb, so I was pretty sceptical when I saw the reviews for this. But it really is underwhelming. As someone else so rightly said, you're better off just watching the trailer 40 times. So much more gripping.
Adam Peters (56%) Even for someone who thinks that the "Fast and the furious" movies are good harmless fun, which is an opinion I share, I still came into this one with low expectations. Not knowing anything about this beforehand, I had in mind a bland, overly familiar action flick that I'll unlikely hate, but will get nothing from and will forget about within ten minutes or so after watching. But really I thought this was fairly decent. After watching the film "Locke" a few months back this is like the Hollywood action version, which as it turns out is no bad thing. The plot is far fetched, but then so is Die hard's, as the late Paul Walker finds himself in a foreign city as things really start to go from bad to worse. I like the way it's almost completely set inside a car, and for most of the time you can only see the outside when it is reflected from a window, meaning you do feel like you're coming along for the ride every step of the way. And yes, the plot isn't logical, and there is a touch too much shaky cam at times, but it's not enough to ruin this enjoyable and entertaining little B-movie.
