Action Road Pictures You might not have heard of......

Now, a quick jot of a few off the map action / road pictures that Dad will enjoy but you might not know about .....




"Truth or Consequences New Mexico" (1997) - Described elsewheres as an "American Neo-Noir" This choppy crime road trip goes by fast and you might need to watch it again because at the end you are asking yourself..."What just happened?" First time director Kiefer Sutherland goes for gritty realism mixed with campy parody.





"Lewis and Clark and George" (1997) - A mediocre indie road film, its interesting to watch as it moves from decent to bad to okay with every scene. Rose McGowan steals the picture one minute and looses you completely the next....





"Smoke Signals" (1998) - Based on a story by Sherman Alexie, a road picture with a funny twist, keeping a light airy feel while dealing with intense emotional subjects. A Great movie with road trip self discovery at its best.
