Pretty Good Thriller Starring 'Dawson's Kerr Smith
Steve ('Dawson's Crees's Kerr Smith) and Patrick (Lochlyn Munro) are two med school students heading for California in a car. They are now in a small town in Oregon, where they drop in a local bar just for a rest. Or beer maybe. And a happy chatting with the cheerleaders. And, you know, all these are signs of a trouble they are about to get into, as Steve is mistaken for a vicious killer because of a bad cop (who shoots himself by silly accident), and his daddy, too.

This is no 'Fugitive' and there is no Harrison Ford, but the film is tightly made and never stops. Surprisingly, the two leads are very good as the two kids on the edge, so other supports, and the director Richard Gale is surely a talented one, who can use the country locations very effectively.

The story is pretty conventional, and you don't take any of the events seriously, but as a thriller it is above average. A good one for your midnight viewing, or the fans of the stars.

Thrilling Non-Stop Action
Writer/Director Richard Gale has made a tight film that keeps you at the edge of your seat. With the look of a much higher budget film, this indie film was surprisingly produced on a smaller budget. This is a film worth watching to see the makings of a good chase film. You have never seen the lead actor, Kerr Smith (Dawson's Creek) act so strongly. Well-written and well-directed, Pressure is an example of an unassuming character, an everyman, pushed to the brink when one bad event after another befalls him. Buy this DVD to get a fair amount of special features commentary by Richard Gale, interviews of the cast, and the making of Pressure. If you are a film student and would want to observe how to make a good film on a tight budget, this is the dvd to get.

Putting a Best Word Forward.
