Title: A STREETCAR NAMED SATIRE
Review: Guess different things work for different people. I found this 93 minutes of a frantic highway pursuit very confidentally paced and occasionally quite charming even.An escaped jailbird takes a rich spoilt brat of a girl hostage in a slurpy BMW, all in denial of his incorrect sentencing for a crime we are led to believe he did not commit. Doozy premise, but semi-cleverly executed. And if you think it's too unrealistic, how about the live videos we see in TV numbers such as "Cops"?The movie squarely points a caustic finger at news-hungry media folks perpetually on the prowl for that next sensational carrion. Plus, there are hints of jabs at inclement parent-child relationships among the affluent.Far from my ideas of cinematic excellence, not the least of which is a lip-devouring kissing scene nearly as unpleasant to sit through as a double root canal. But a gently rollicking slab of unusual celluloid, which makes for a decent rental at least.
