3.0 out of 5 stars DUMB PEOPLE DOING DUMB THINGS AGAIN, July 16, 2004

By	Michael Butts (Martinsburg, WV USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

It's hard to believe that the man who wrote the screenplays for THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION and THE GREEN MILE penned this overblown action movie. Frank Darabont's screenplay focuses on one Johnny Dell Grissom, a handsome young race driver, who has been saving his winnings so he could go to college and make something of his life. His father is an ex-con who runs a gas station and he's in love with the daughter of the local redneck sheriff, who doesn't want his Sarah Jane to have anything to do with his youngun. Sarah Jane is also desired by the sheriff's even redder deputy, Norm. As the movie opens, however, we meet a bunch of really vile prisoners who murder their guards and escape. Lo and behold, they run into the sheriff, kill him right in front of his daughter's eyes, but who gets the blame? Johnny, of course. From hereon, it's a chase movie, with some exciting chase scenes, but nothing new. All the main characters do dumb things that even make their actions dumber. Johnny and Norm for the most part. Patrick Muldoon brings his stoic, boyish charm to the role of Johnny, but it's not his most rewarding role; Amelia Heinle (Earth vs. the Spider) is credible as the kidnapped Sarah Jane; Jake Busey overplays Norm to the point of incredulity; Peter Greene as the nasty head villain is very good in his icy role; Kevin J. O'Connor reprises his whiny geek role he mastered in The Mummy; and Jeffrey DeMunn gives a good performance as Johnny's dad.
D.J. Caruso's direction is inconsistent; the pace slows; picks up; slows down again; it doesn't help this average movie.

3.0 out of 5 stars fun, August 9, 2008

By	Roger G. Martin Jr. - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bought this a couple of years ago for someone. Watched the whole movie and it was fairly tolerable to sit through. It was a gift for a young person used to living out in the sticks pretty much. It is probably extremely entertaining for those living the life of the movie, "The Deliverance".
