well what a surprise. I have to admit I didn't expect much, but the acting is really, really good....and the story develops in such a way that I believed I knew what was going on. My wife figured it out, but the truth/reveal wasn't clear until the end. This is a psychological thriller that has clues to the reveal throughout, if you are paying attention. I almost did not watch this after reading the reviews - I don't know why people try to discourage others from taking in a film. I do understand there are schills on here, but I am a regular guy with 4 kids and a dog. Just a quality movie where they really cared about the story.

Though the mix of characters (hitchhiker, serial killer, young love, deranged couple) could make for an interesting thriller, Road Games didn't convince me for a minute. The acting is mediocre, some of the decisions the main characters make are completely unrealistic, the mix of English and French language doesn't work for me, and the role of one of the main secondary characters remains unexplained. This could all be forgiven if at least there was a good twist in the end, but unfortunately there wasn't - I saw the twist coming about halfway through the movie. And when the twist finally comes and the viewer gets the whole picture, some parts of the movie seem even more unrealistic. All in all a waste of time, I'm sorry to say.

What the heck was Andrew Simpson thinking when he accepted to play in this B-movie ? Same time, thank god he's in, otherwise these Road games would have been totally unwatchable ! The story itself is interesting, but both directing and acting are terrible and make no sense at all. And there is a huge problem with Josephine de la Baume : You can't hear anything she says, she whispers all along, so French ! Don't waste your time even if non precious with this B-movie ! Hitch must be turning in his grave. I agree with Toecutter0 : the score will settle there after a few weeks, perhaps a month after other, older viewers log in and cast their votes, scoring this title more fairly across the entire age spectrum. Watch those scores!

I did not see this one coming.I really loved the music, gave it an old school giallo feel to the movie. Not that all the yellow in the cinematography didn't do the trick.Road Games does expect us to swallow some stuff that does not go down too well, but overall it was a great slasher-styled movie experience, that never bores.The characters are interesting enough to keep your interest to the very last minute, and I mean the very last.The suspense of what's going on is great. Lots of twist and turns to keep you on your toes as you try to figure out what's going on.The plot twist was a little lackluster, but it goes with the whole environment.Well done!!
