Yar, you be here: Pressure > Customer Reviews Pressure Customer Reviews (1 - 3 of 3 Reviews)An exploration of human stupidity and corruption
A girl you just met at a bar two minutes ago is kissing you hot and heavy OUTSIDE the bar in the dark... Don't you suspect something? A guy is going to kill you for fun and he accidently hurts himself while he's tauting you? Take his head off! The lead guy was amazing! The smartest thing he does in the movie is when he gives the miltitia dude his gun back! You've got to watch this for yourself. Stupid people doing stupid and dangerous things..... A highly enjoyable indy film...
Sure it lacks the star power of today's thrillers and in truth it's a tad predictable at times, but "Pressure" is just so much fun to watch! Two med students make a stop at a highway bar where cheerleaders are partying. One of them gets pulled outside for a little extra lovin' and suddenly finds himself being the object of target practice for a hillbilly. As it turns out, this redneck is a cop and he ends up shooting himself right where it counts, then framing the med student, sending the whole state police and eventually the FBI after him, for a crime he didn't commit! Things just get worse and worse for our hero as the story gets closer and closer to its final confrontation in the woods. I found much to enjoy in this film and even though it's a direct-to-video. It's a really fun movie and, even though it doesn't jog your mind or anything, it sure takes you on a fun trip. I'd recommend it to anyone who likes suspense films like "Phone Booth." Surprisingly fast paced thriller
Medical students Steve Hillman (Dawson's Creek Hottie - Kerr Smith)(During his hiatus from Dawson's Creek, Smith worked on this independent feature) and Patrick (Lochlyn Munro) encounter a sleepy stop over during a road trip. This rural town has only a dingy bar to offer diversion and the friends stop in for a pee break. The lord seems to smile upon them as the bar is crowded with cheerleaders and the attractive boys look like a meal to these girls. Eaten alive is exactly what these men are about to be as Steve follows one of the girls (Angela Featherstone) right into a deadly trap. Our hero's must struggle to stay alive after an unusual shooting incident catapults them into a world of trouble. The story is filled with twists and surprises, so no spoilers will be revealed here. The film is a fast-paced thriller, in which the heroes get deeper and deeper in jeopardy... so deep, in fact, that it becomes darkly comic. When they are certain it can't possibly get any worse for them, it gets much, much worse! It is in the times of greatest adversity that true character reveals itself, and in this case, one's character will determine whether they live or die! The FBI, corrupt cops, and sadistic locals converge on these outsiders in a wild thriller from writer/director Richard Gale (THE PROPOSAL).
