There's a movie out there called Locke starring Tom Hardy and in that movie he's in the car the whole time and well that's a better well written movie then this (Just saying)The story is about a recently paroled man unwittingly picks up the wrong rental vehicle, having just got off a long haul flight. He soon realizes that he is the target of an entire police force that will use any means necessary to stop him and the tied up female "passenger" he discovers in the trunk, from getting to the courthouse to testify against top-to-bottom local corruption.I got to be honest here the only reason I watched this movie is because of the sad lost of Paul Walker. I normally do this when a big name star dies and their very last performance you every going to see them in that I normally go searching for the last role so I can see them one last time, and thank god Paul's last role was in Furious 7 and not this movie because Vehicle 19 is seriously not that good.Vehicle 19 tries to be smart and original and some how comes off a stick in the mood who framed me or who's after me story line that's turning into a cliché now as every movie is doing that.If you haven't seen my Furious 7 review (Which you should) I already give a little tribute to the late great Paul Walker at his finest, but in this movie he looks like his about to go to sleep feeling bored which is basically me watching this movie. He didn't do a bad job but he didn't do nothing outstanding. Paul buddy I miss you and I respect you as a person but you look like you don't want to be there and I won't blame you on that.The movie overall tries to do something groundbreaking and something new which back fired.
... View MoreVehicle 19 is another of these bottle films which tends to be stripped down movies firmly fixed usually on one setting. A boot of car, a car, a phone booth etc. It usually has one well known star, sometimes there is also a star cameo and mainly headed for straight to pay TV channels or DVD.Paul Walker stars and is an Executive Producer for this film where he plays a fugitive from the United States who has broken his parole conditions gone to South Africa, where he picks up a rental car and is meeting up with his girlfriend who works for the American Embassy.However he has picked up the wrong rental car and worse he is impatient to wait for the mix up to be corrected. Bad mistake, as he discovers a gun, a mobile phone and a bound & gagged woman in the back seat of his car. An incoming phone call makes it clear that this car was intended for someone else and he enters a world of police corruption as he is hunted down.Bravo to Walker for making a film in Johannesburg which gives the film an unusual setting. Its of course sad that its another car chase film especially given the circumstances of his death.The film is enjoyable at the beginning but lapses into clichés and implausibilities as the weak script brings it to a halt. The showdown at the end in front of the courthouse looks ludicrous but the car chase scenes makes the film look better than it actually is.
... View MoreHere's Another One of those Contained by its Own Conceit. A Point of View that Never Waivers, a One-Set Situation, a Gimmick and Not a Very Recommendable Gimmick Considering what has Come Before in Similar Movies. Paul Walker Drives Around South Africa and the Camera is Locked in the Car for the Duration. The Story and Walker's Behavior are Also Confined to Accepting Some Unbelievable and Dumb Behavior. Your Suspension of Disbelief will have You Screaming at the Screen.But the Scenery, Outside the Car, is a Bit Different as are the Natives. Colorful Graffiti is Everywhere, and How About that Nifty Drive Through so the Homies or are They Homeless can Make a Few Bucks on the Side. It is a Colorful if At Times Lifeless Affair. The Best Part is when Walker Makes One of the Many Discoveries in the Rental Car From Hell and He has Somebody to Talk to that is Not on a Cell Phone.Overall, Average Independent Movie that is Watchable but don't Expect Anything Much. For Paul Walker Fans and Those Wishing to Glimpse a Stranger in a Strange Land. Maybe if the Movie would have been a Bit Stranger it would have been a Bit Better.
... View MoreMy feel is on the movie is OK kind of movie, Paul Walker acting is good to see. But It's very low budget action with only car and little thrill in screen play, thats all. there are not more persons in the film. Always seeing only hero and car through the whole movie.Its not that good but We can see only if we have more time and to watch more movie.After seeing fast and furious kind of movie, this not that much at allFirst half of the movie is thrill. Second half is very slow and very bored. background music also very dull.My over all feeling is OK ( Not bad )
