Moonshine Highway (1996 TV Movie)
10/10
Small Cast, Small Budget, BIG Entertainment.

Set in mid 50s somewhere in Tennessee. As it seems, A Hot Rod Lincoln is setting the pace. Custom built for hauling moonshine, and avoiding the revenue department representatives, Car Chases abound. Pay attention here as the cars run like there on rails. No body roll in the curves, no one wheelie peeler when they blast off. Adult scenes as Sheriff's ex-wife struggles against Randy Quaid giving it all he has. I really admire films like these where a small budget means only a motivated cast working hard on rather plain sets can shine. Looks like the money was spent in the right places. Were it to show. The biggest point of why moonshine exists would have been lost to flash and dazzle that just could not exist in that place in that time. Some reviews seem to take issue that films are made by well to do yankees who can't possibly act well enough to be convincing and I just don't know how to address that because it is true. Most films require a little suspension of belief to get the most out of them. Even if they don't happen a long time ago in a Galaxy far, far away.
