Storyline

On Christmas Eve, ten strangers board a bus traveling across Texas. Far out in the wilds they collide with a meth-addicted biker. Forced off the road by other members of the gang, the passengers take refuge in the hell hole of an abandoned scrap yard. They use improvised weapons and sheer guts to mount a defense against the murderous bikers but, as their numbers dwindle, they realize that their survival depends on doing the unthinkable. They must go on the offensive.

This movie reminds me of action films of the 90's ...in a good way!!!!!!!

Remember Chuck Norris?, Steven Segal?, Van Damme?, Jackie Chan?, and other big 90's bad asses???Although this film didn't seem to be centered around one person or character(which depending who you ask can be good and bad) it is a good action and thriller film! I sware this movie was made in the 90's. the acting was good and everything else fell into place. Hope to see more from some of these actors. The beginning starts off a little slow but towards the middle you get some decent action, my only complaint would be character build up. We don't really know who has the primary role in the film, also it seems the characters who kissed at the end caught me off guard, I suppose because I was expecting the love interest to be the Army Girl. But a Good Watch nonetheless
