Smash-Up on Interstate 5 (1976 TV Movie)
5/10
Standard Fare for this Particular Time Period
30 August 2013
This film starts off by showing several people in different vehicles traveling down I-5. All of a sudden, one particular car collides into another which causes a massive traffic accident. The viewer is then given a look at some of the characters involved in the crash. After some history into the lives of these people, the film then resumes back to the accident and reveals who survives and who doesn't. As far as the film was concerned, it was somewhat interesting for a made-for-television movie but as usual for that type of film it suffers from the inherent cut-and-paste limitations. Along with that there is no profanity, nudity, violence or graphic imagery. Also being made in the mid-70's it is a bit dated as well. I suppose the acting was adequate enough and it certainly didn't hurt to have attractive actresses like Vera Miles (as "Erica") and Donna Mills (as "Laureen") on hand. Still, that doesn't change the fact that this was pretty much standard fare for this particular time period. As such, I rate it as average.
