blumdeluxe "Big Driver" is an adaption of a Stephen King plot evolving around a young writer who gives a lecture in the countryside and gets raped several times on her way back home. As she seeks revenge, she returns to the place of her horror to hunt down her perpetrators.There's not much new to the plot. A beautiful woman who is lost in the countryside because her car broke down should by now be a very regular appearance in the states, judged by the movies depicting it. The tendency to bring in the characters from her books are controversial, some might hate it, personally it didn't disturb me that much because at least this way you have something that separates the film from plenty others. I like the revenge element, although it is hardly unlikely that she turns from a wreck into a cold-blooded killer in less than a week and it would be very irresponsible to let the police out of everything she saw.All in all this is not one of the strong King adaptions. What you see is what you get, so if you like what you see go ahead and give it a try. Otherwise there are better titles within the genre that are waiting to be explored.

SnoopyStyle Tess Thorne (Maria Bello) is a successful writer of the fictional mystery-solving knitting Doreen (Olympia Dukakis). She follows Ramona Norvell (Ann Dowd)'s directions and takes a shortcut going home from an event. Her tires get punctured by boards with nails in the road. There is no phone service. A guy stops to offer help. He ends up raping and almost killing her. She gets left for dead in a culvert with other bodies. She escapes and decides to keep it a secret. Her hallucinations start to drive her to seek revenge.At first, it seems interesting to see a Stephen King book done in a Lifetime movie style. After seeing it, that's enough for me. Bello does the her best but she's really alone in the effort. A lot of it is just a little cheesy. I would like to change Doreen to get away from Murder She Wrote territory. Doreen should really be played by Maria Bello. There are some pretty dark elements but other times, it can't get away from the Lifetime feel. This doesn't quite work.

Schuriken The entire film is about 1 hour and 20 minutes long. Which explains perfectly what you're about to see and why.You're about to see a short film with a scenario so common, your eyes will keep rolling every 2 minutes.Why should you see this, I don't know, it's not a very clever film. Same old stuff all over and over again. It brings absolutely nothing to the table.A woman gets raped, left for dead and returns to have her revenge on the guys who did it. It doesn't sound much now does it ?I am certain that the director during the filming had only one thought on his mind. That the movie poster will read Stephen King and he will get away with it. But no, he didn't get away with it. The film is mediocre at best. The dialogue is very frustrating and ridiculous.No horror, no mystery, no plot, no nothing. Bad acting and unimpressive photography.You know there are still people around that have seen too many movies to be impressed like a 7 year old child who watched this story for the first time.A second or third choice Stephen King film. Simple as that.

Tony Heck "I'll let the cops know but not tonight. All I know is if I see him again I'll kill him." Tess Thorne (Bello) is a famous mystery writer who is invited to speak to a group of fans. On her way back home she blows a tire. When someone stops to help her she is relieved but that turns to fear. After she is knocked out she wakes up to him raping and beating her then he leaves her for dead. She manages to escape and return home. Rather than calling the cops she decides to investigate on her own. She starts off on her quest for revenge. First thing I have to say is that this movie actually wasn't that bad at all...for a Lifetime movie. I wasn't sure how they could convert a Stephen King book into a Lifetime movie and I will admit that they did a pretty good job and Maria Bello does a pretty good job. Much like the Lizze Borden movie they did with Christina Ricci it wasn't that bad...but again...not that bad for a Lifetime movie. Overall, defiantly felt like a made for TV movie but I have seen worse. I give it a B-.
