Movie Review
This movie was based on book write bye you guess who Stephen king so he is know to write weird stuff this one movie is that first 10 mins he is visited bye Grim Reaper who is trying get him to kill himself and then mother is dying later on he way to hospital he meets this weird dude on road who pick him and is will stoned driver or crazy think so after that he starts see images very odd ones seem like this driver that pick him up sent him down a odd road where he meets strange people don’t know it almost like road he walking on is his past or something because we see flashing from his past must be Dark one so far do not see much scary stuff in first 1 hour and 6 mins there is some gore in first half but not much.

Now that last half of movie gets even more weird he is still being pick up bye Strange people that either makes no Sense or from his past maybe the last driver gives him was crazy twist that he must choice well last 15 mins was not very good either this movie plot indeed had nothing I could understand though but that Stephen king for you At the end I hope They give me something when he made it too Hospital but pretty much right back where you started on what real or not seem like he got lost there or writer of plot did as well too much of that much that made it me not like could of done it a few times but all time not good from start to end this was not King’s best but will say it was ok.

Acting
Well good acting in this David Arquette was one odd dude in this as George never thought I see him in a odd role though in this one.

Scary or not
Well most of his movies are but this one not as scary some blood and gore but not too scary seem like more of mind games then scary.


Closing thoughts
When I started watching first 5 mins was weird I know from there this one would be odd and it was guess it was about the guy who stuck in life and needed a wake up call so road later on show him his past and stuff that real or not that there Stephen king is like that he does have a odd mind but sometimes his stuff end up good and bad this one was not his best though needed more Horror to me but if your a fan of his stuff you may like this or not too me it was ok movie.


Riding The Bullet (2004)
5/10 ok
