Passengers on a bus are traumatized by a gang of vicious motorcycle psychopaths. Sound like a lurid, suspenseful movie? Think again. This flick substitutes MTV Real World fake personality exploration for suspense and thrills. After a tense 10 minutes at the beginning of the movie, we are held hostage by an extensive lets-get-to-know-them interlude, where our heroes exchange personal stories, predictable rivalries, and a string of contrived revelations that end up leaving the viewer half awake. The motorcycle gang is merely a plot device to heighten tension, as we know nothing about them for they never speak a word. They could be flesh-eating zombies for all they matter to the story. Sorry to see Fred Ward ending his career with this under his belt.
