 Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead January 3, 2010
A. Pierre (Somewheres)
Four kids go to an old abandoned home and find a beautiful car underneath a sheet and they deicide to steal it. That's Rustys car and you dont steal from him! They head to a resturant and the typical loud mouth emo makes fun of some truckers at the resturant. Guess who is listening among the truckers? Are good ol friend Keiffer Sutherland wannabe, Rusty Nails! Ok maybe he is not Sutherland but i've heard the voice before. Hell, in the speical features the actors remains in character. Anyways, good ol Rusty steals one of the girls boyfriend and the games are on! I may have messed up some parts of the film but it's really not too imporant. The movie takes off from there with various twist along the way. I have seen the first movie but I cannot recall it too well. It was stupid that the kids hijacked the car and Rusty destorys it like nothing towards the end of the movie. Wouldn't he want the beautiful car back? Anyways, the movie was pretty good but the ending could be seen from the beginning or if you have watched over a thousand horror movies.
Overall, not a bad little movie at all. Rusty Nails is a pretty good villian and I may even *gulp* welcome anther movie in the series.
 I enjoyed part 1, but this is one of the worst movies in the last 10 years December 3, 2009
Negative Comments (Columbus, OH)
It's been almost a year since I wrote my last movie review. I just sort of lost the motivation. It would take a movie so bad that I would have no choice but to castigate all involved in said film, and it's Joy Ride 2 that has this dubious honor.
Story: Four idiots break down on the road, they break into a house, steal a car, after which the psychotic owner kidnaps one of them, and the rest of the movie is based on them trying to recover their friend.
Although I've seen plenty of bad movies in the past year, I'm not sure if any one of those had the combination of being this flagrantly bad in terms of BOTH acting and writing. Usually it's a combination of both, where one aspect might be pretty bad, while the other only makes you want to kill yourself just a little bit. This pile of trash is literally at the lowest end of the scale for both acting and writing, and here are some reasons:
**As a bad writing example, the fact that the main girl left her number for the owner after they stole the car. If anything, she should've left a note saying they'd return the car as soon as they could, and apologize. Since this is basically the catalyst to jumpstart the movie, I'll let this pass.
**Bad acting by the main girl after she runs into the parking lot after learning her boyfriend is kidnapped. In general, her dialogue and emotion didn't fit- at times where she should've been panicked and desperate, she comes across sounding angry, wrong choice. By the way, when her cell phone rang in this scene, why did she answer "Bobby are you OK?" as if there were any chance that it would even BE Bobby on the other line? She just got done talking to the kidnapper, why is she assuming it's her boyfriend that would be calling?
**I don't see how that emo dude should've so confidently talked trash about truckers in a diner FULL OF THEM. Also, I thought it was unrealistic how the two girlfriends were sort of going along with the emo dude's insults about the truckers, just smiling. It came across like they genuinely though it was funny, most girls would've told him to shut up and get his act together.
**In that strip tease scene, when she approached the truck assuming that Rusty Nails was behind the wheel, when the decoy shows his face, her reaction is just..all wrong. Yes, WE as the audience are taken by surprise that it's not the actual kidnapper and instead it's some hillbilly retard, but HOW DOES SHE KNOW?? Why did she immediately come to the conclusion that they'd been tricked and he wasn't the actual kidnapper? And the way she screamed "Bobby" was worse than Darth Vader's "noooooo."
**The scene I hated most was when the emo dude was chosen to dress up in a wig and dress, and the way the main girl went into movie cliché 'badass' mode to convince him to do so. After he refuses, she puts a scalpel to his neck and calmly tells him what he needs to do. Any other emotion would've been fine, she could've acted hysterical by screaming at him to please do what the kidnapper says, cry, panic, act desperate, but for her to calmly and confidently tell him in the stereotypical low voice that he's GOING to do this, made me want to kill her myself.
**When the emo dude gets captured, and the two girls are watching, who's holding who back? WTF were they doing? Girl #1 acts like she wants to go run to him, only to be held back by Girl #2, but then Girl #2 is now trying to run towards him, only to be held back by the Girl #1. Who's holding who back? WTF was this?? I can only imagine what the director must've told them to do in this scene ("yeah, just act panicked and stuff, that's all I've got.")
**After the main girl's sister got killed in the collision, she had NO EMOTION. Ridiculous.
**When they had the two captured guys in Rusty's shed, how coincidental was it for the emo's favorite game to be craps, since Rusty's wall was covered with the consequences for each dice roll outcome. So what if he would've said his favorite game was Monopoly or something?
**Again, not something I can criticize too much since every movie is guilty of it, but when the main girl knocks out Rusty with the shovel, of course she doesn't make sure he's out cold or dead, she just throws her shovel away.
**Along with death and taxes, here's something else that's guaranteed; I can guarantee that during the scene where Rusty was on top of the truck, anyone watching that scene was thinking the same thing: "Hit the breaks!"
**In this same scene, it was nighttime when he was on top of the truck, then early daytime when he was inside. OK, so she must've drove throughout the night right? Well how the HELL did her boyfriend show up seconds later after she jumped out of the careening vehicle? That's gotta be miles that he would've hobbled on one leg, OVERNIGHT. Nevermind the fact that he appeared seemingly within seconds.
**I'm gonna give this movie the benefit of the doubt and assume that the ridiculous ending line where the boyfriend asked "is it over," as she looks heroically over the cliff and kicks the wallet and says "it is now," was tongue in cheek. I really, REALLY hope this was meant to be campy and not a serious scene.
**It's ridiculous that they made this trucker into an omnipotent supernatural demigod, being able to see your every move, come in and out of cars without being seen, and able to survive crashing in an exploding semi going over a cliff.
My god, that main girl is one of the worst actresses I've ever seen, and that's saying a lot.
Rusty nails is back October 20, 2009
Carlos Lee (Cedar Hill, TX)
This is a blood struck sick and scary movie that I love.Joy ride was great and this is even better.Rusty Nails (the phsyco trucker) loves to tourche and kill people that bother him for any reason which makes watching all the fun to see who servies and who dies!!!
Rusty Nails Rises again! September 30, 2009
MC (CT, USA)
I actually found this little flick entertaining. Maybe it was because of blonde bombshell Nicki Aycox (from Jeepers Creepers 2) who turned in a sexy performance as the main heroine. She promises Rusty Nails "I'll do whatever you want" and it becomes a sick, twisted game. I saw the first Joy Ride flick starring Paul Walker and found it amusing, but more of a suspense thriller. This time around the villain Rusty Nails is much more sadistic it seems.
Of course as the movie goes on you kinda ask yourself "why would Rusty Nails do all this for the reason he is?" But one of my real gripes is about how the main male characters were portrayed. They started out as jokesters who were all badass, then as the movie goes on you see they are wimps. Maybe they were made to look like quivering wussies so Rusty Nails would look more powerful, but the one guy (Nick Zano) was like a built football player and didn't try much in the way of escaping. The other guy was supposed to be a rebel but turned into a shivering coward later on.
The dice game torture was pretty sick, almost like the producers were trying to copycat Texas Chainsaw Massacre a bit. I'm hoping for a third installment in this series, and seeing as Saw has now reached part 6 I don't see why we can't get Joy Ride 3. It'd be cool to find out more about the origins of Rusty Nails, but then again maybe he's just a trucker who lost his mind. I won't spoil the end of Joy Ride 2, but we know how horror movies tend to work with their villains.
All in all though, if you enjoy horror movies with a bit of gore, some hot chicks and a decent plot give this movie a rent.
 OKAY MOVIE September 12, 2009
