Review of Throttle

Throttle (2005)
6/10
Good B-movie thriller for awhile before turning super silly
18 April 2011
This was surprisingly good for a low budget thriller until you find out who the driver of the Black Truck is, then it all falls apart. It then becomes even sillier with a so bad its funny ending. It has the obvious influence of the classic movie "Duel" as inspiration. An absurd twist happens when the big reveal of who the villain is and his motivations are explained that basically ruins the movie because of how ludicrous it all is. But until then it's not bad at all and had some good action scenes and suspense build up.

The acting was pretty good actually. There are some choppy moments in the movie when the main hero has flashbacks, and one especially takes a long time when he is at some office party. These scenes were very poorly done and unnecessarily interrupted the tension of the main plot of a man stalked in an underground parking garage by a menacing black truck.
