This will teach those not to cut people off on the road., 3 October 1999
Author: MediaGuy-2

Jere Burns plays a psycho driver in this movie who was cut off by Yasmine Bleeth. Personally, I side with Jere Burns in this movie. No one should be able to cut you off and get away with it. (Hint, Hint, my comments reflect what the movie is about). This is a cat and mouse movie, Yasmine Bleeth being the Mouse, and Jere Burns being the Cat, or rather should I say the Psycho Beast Cat who wants revenge against the mouse for cutting him off on the road. If you have a chance to watch this movie, do it. It is a very suspenseful, action filled, and fun movie.

Although Having Many Clichés, Some Bad Acting and Exaggeration in the Plot, It is an Efficient Low-Budget Thriller, 22 February 2005
6/10
Author: Claudio Carvalho from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

The truck driver Eddie Madden (Jere Burns) loses his family in a car accident while driving leaving town on vacation. Some months later, he becomes a deranged man, and his boss waives his faults and keeps his job expecting for his complete recovery. When the real-state agent Ellen Carson (Yasmine Bleeth) accidentally cuts his truck off, Eddie threatens her with his vehicle. Ellen calls the 0800 and presents a complaint against his aggressive behavior in the traffic. Eddie is fired, finds her identity, and stalks Ellen, her husband Jim Carson (John Wesley Shipp) and her fifteen years old stepdaughter Cynthia Carson (Alana Austin), manipulating them and menacing their safety. Although having many clichés, a ham actor (John Wesley Shipp) and an actress completely miscast (Alana Austin), and lots of exaggeration in the plot, "Road Rage" is an efficient low-budget thriller. It is hard to believe the inefficiency of the police to arrest Eddie, or the lack of safety in the Carson's house, but anyway the story hooks the attention of the viewer until the last scene, mostly supported by the excellent performances of Yasmine Bleeth and Jere Burns. I saw this movie on VHS, I had the chance to repeat the scene and I noted the terrible edition of the car accident in the beginning of the film: there is a cut, when the red car stops, and in the next scene, it crashes Eddie's truck. See this movie without a great expectation, and the viewer may have a reasonably good surprise. My vote is six.

Title (Brazil): "Pânico na Estrada" ("Panic in the Road")

Good thriller., 28 December 2001
Author: martymaster (martymaster@hotmail.com) from Fredrikstad,Norway

Yasmine Bleeth has really played in a lot of thriller tv movies and all of them are kind of good. This one is maybe one of the best and it is about a madman who is after her to kill her,because she cut him off in traffic(really sick guy).The madman is excellent played by Jere Burns. Yasmine Bleeth is sexy as always and deliver decent performance.

Real estate agent Ellen Carson (Yasmine Bleeth) makes the mistake of her life when she inadvertently cuts off a delivery truck while changing lanes hurrying home on the highway. The truck driver turns out to be a dangerously loose cannon named Eddie Madden (Jere Burns), who proceeds to chase after Ellen in an effort to run her off the road. After a terrifying few minutes on the open road, Ellen finally makes it back to the safety of her home. Alas, Eddie has memorized her license number — and, armed with this information, he embarks upon a grotesque campaign of terror, ranging from shredding the contents of Ellen's clothes closet to murdering her best friend. This made-for-TV thriller will either compel the viewer to think twice before cutting off another motorist, or to think three times before ever watching a made-for-TV thriller again. Road Rage originally aired October 3, 1999, on NBC.

No one cares for the unlucky guy, 3 September 2007
5/10
Author: guidomaschio from Milan, Italy

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This movie is below average, no doubt. I rented this DVD and it was a bit of a let down. But I must say that the "villain" character is very well acted by Jere Burns. In fact until 3/4 of the movie (when a murder occurs) I partially sided for him. Think for a while: the guy's wife and daughter - the ones he loved - were killed in a car accident. A tragedy like THAT can really make yourself mad. So why the guy wasn't cured or get assisted after that tragedy? To me is unbelievable that no one cared for the guy after his big personal drama.

Had anybody cared maybe he could have stopped his descent into madness, but no one did.

So for me it was difficult to see Burns as the real "villain" of the story. Sure when the first murder takes place he shifted immediately in the "bad guy" category, but until that point I felt some sympathy for him and his tragedy. Kudos to Jere Burns that did his part very well, showing the complexities of the character.

Apart Burns acting and few thrilling sequences (i.e. when "Burns" character pretends to be a customer and visits the house's cellar trying to draw "Yasmine Bleeth" character down) the movie is really dumb (and unfair), 'coz there are too much far-fetched situations.

house wife meets nut on the highway, 20 January 2007

I've seen this movie a couple of times,usually on Lifetime Movie Network.It is just good enough to suck me in and I end up watching the whole thing.You can tell it's a low budget TV movie,but they actually did a decent job with what they had to work with.There are times this movie is suspenseful and other times when it is just down right terrifying!Ex baywatch babe Yasmine Bleethe does a very good acting job,most of the time you really believe she is being terrorized.The rest, of the cast also does a decent job.The part about her friend is predictable.All in all a decent thriller with an ending certainly drips with irony!

Road Rage was really bad, 5 July 2006
1/10
Author: nedsmithtn from United States

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

This movie really sucked. From the police response to the bitter end, it was really bad. I can't believe I wasted two hours. How many lines to say it was bad. Yasmine was bad. The villain was good. The police were totally unbelievable. The husband was bad. This must have been a Junior High Project. I can't believe Lifetime showed this. The daughter was bad. The grandmother was bad. Mostly, everything was bad. OK, it looks like I've got six more lines to type. I don't usually care about writing comments about a movie, but I feel so strongly about this being a bad movie that I'm here trying to create drivel about how bad this movie was. The police were so totally unbelievable, ya wanted to gag. Why does it take a restraining order the whole movie to invoke?

Difficult to take sides, 1 March 2006
7/10
Author: Nicholas Rhodes from Ile-de-France / Paris Region, France

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

A pretty good suspense film with some hairy moments although some of the events are hard to believe and the final crash is rather over-dramatic. To be quite frank, the lady Ellen ( Bleeth) brought this on herself with her bad driving at the beginning ( also, you'd have to be completely MAD to drive at the same time as holding a telephone receiver !!) so it's difficult to feel any real sympathy for her initially as she is just getting paid back for being so stupid to cut the other guy off. But obviously they guy is intent on making her pay for all his woes and this is where the film becomes more interesting and tense. But in a real-life situation I cannot see someone getting away with things in the way that Madden did. You feel that he was allowed this license uniquely to make the film tense and sensational, and it's true that to a certain extent it works. The other thing is, how could her step daughter be so dumb as to believe Madden when he presented himself as a recruiter from the University of California and to just leave with him on the faith that he said he had the OK from her stepmother ? The question I ask myself is : are human beings really that dumb and stupid ?

Oh My God - 5 things that made no sense, 24 September 2005
Author: forrestarnold from United States

My issues with this movie....

1.) Nobody gets THAT angry about being cut off, seriously. The movie is not even about road rage.

2.) Yasmine Bleeth files a restraining order against a guy she's never even laid eyes on, how will she know if he violates it?

3.) John Wesley Shipp sucked as her husband, he finds out the psycho was in their house and automatically accuses her of banging him.

4.) Alana Austin plays her new step-daughter. Would a newly married woman really care THAT much about someone else's kid? Psycho thinks so.

5.) Are cops really THAT naive? They buy Psycho's lies as facts, and disregard Bleeth's statements from the get go. Why?

I had to watch this just to see how the hell the writer summed it all up. Does Psycho die or go to jail? Stay tuned to Lifetime channel Saturday mornings. My God, I watched this whole movie.

Great Yasmine, 24 January 2005
7/10
Author: chandler24 from Spain

I think this movie was a great opportunity for Yasmine Bleeth to show that she can do more that look good in her former red swimsuit (Baywatch). I really enjoyed this TV-movie, it's so amazing it has a great cast, over all Jere Burns, the perfect madman.

John Wesley-Shipp acts OK, but i don't like as Yasmine's husband in the movie, they are not a good couple. He makes a very similar role to Mitch, his character on Dawson's Creek. Not very interesting.

One of the best movies for Bleeth. What a pity she stopped her career because of coke. She was beautiful and talented. Not many Baywatch babes played good roles after their departure from the show. Who remembers Donna D'Errico or Traci Bingham? Yasmine was one of the best.
