This is literally one of the best movies to watch while under effects of alcohol or other drugs.it simply doesn't make sense, but the movie itself is well shot, has a good cinematography and the actors are good (not perfect, but good on their respective roles).overall, watch with your friends and don't try to take this movie too seriously

Reviewed August 2010One question that keeps popping in the mind while watching this movie is 'How high the writers were while working on this script?'.It's a crazy thought executed in a more crazy and lazy way. It's the story of a tire with telekinetic powers and a psychotic mind going on a killing spree in a nearby desert town by blasting heads of people and finally gets interested and obsessive about a girl. In the mean time there are audience for this in the movie watching the entire proceedings with binoculars from a distance without food and water. So the big question is why and what is going on? 'No Reason'. It is an innovative idea which may never have become a great but definitely a better movie had it been executed a bit well. There is a requisite comic tone to the movie and the entire making is taken only as serious as it should have been. But the movie drags quite frustratingly at certain moments even with it's 80 minute runtime and lacks a climax that enlightens a bit more either on the audience or the tire. There is an element of gore and mystery required for a horror but lacks the suspense and thrills. Couldn't turn out to be as smart as it wanted it to be. A crazy thought gone crazy.

From the opening scene of the sheriff explaining to the audience that there are things in this world that happen for no reason (most of his explanation is either factually incorrect or highly idiotic), this movie however proves surprisingly that it does have reason to exist. As easily as this movie could have been written off as a movie about a tire on a killing spree. Rubber's underlying message about how independent filmmakers struggle with the big box office studios and audiences who are only fascinated with big explosions, provides a quirky and twisted movie about how a tire (indie filmmaker) would use their newly acquired psychokinetic powers.

RUBBER is a film that wants to be hip and cool so badly that it physically hurts. It's a high concept - so high it belongs in outer space - comedy horror about a sentient tyre that goes around killing people and things. That's it. There's no attempt to rationalise or explain the events on screen, it's just one death after another, with lots of wraparound stuff to pad out the running time.This wraparound stuff goes for self-referencing in a big, post-modern way. Classic films are discussed and a group of audience members seem to be watching the film in the same way that the viewer at home is. Unfortunately, to enjoy this film you seem to need to be to find the events taking place on screen funny, but I never did. Watching animals - and later people - getting blown up by a psychic tyre didn't make me laugh.What RUBBER offers is cheap gore and cod, pseudo-intellectual dialogue, without any decent acting. I suppose the desert setting recalls favourably the likes of TREMORS and the special effects used to animate the tyre aren't bad, but otherwise this is a dog's dinner of a film.
