Route 666

THOROUGHLY ENJOYED THIS - 3RD TIME AROUND!
Just as entertaining as the 2nd time - still great when "pop" comes across to save his son.

Enjoyed the humor - and the acted characters.

Bought it because of Lou Diamond Philips as I enjoy his acting.

Will watch again [in time] - must be enjoyed for what it is and not for what you expect.

Some gross blood letting but in keeping with the story.

Just a little harry-scarry but beautiful color scenery [if you like the desert]

Definitely recommend for easy enjoyment -- not for children.

Very Enjoyable
Route 666 is a very enjoyable captivating film. It has a good cast, decent story, and an interesting style. Agents Lou Dimond Philips and Lori Petty have to go and track down a federal witnesss who is on the run ( Steven Williams). Then they must get him to court on time to testify. To do this they and four other agents decide to take a supposedly haunted route 666, were a chain gang accident had happend. Through the movie we find out more about it through cool, but bizarre flash backs. Philips is entertaining in his lead role. As is Petty and Williams who are both enjoyable and very funny. It's a very underrated flick that is worth having in your collecton for a rainy day. A must buy.

KEEP OFF THE ROAD
SEE:

*Lou Diamond Phillips drink peyote tea with a bald shaman

*See Steven Williams do his Joe Pesci Lethal Weapon impersonation AND pee three times

*See Dale Midkiff the Human Ham in a terrifically campy performace

*See zombies from the chain gang swing their pick and jam their jackhammer

*See Steven Williams smash a nasty scorpion

*See L. Q. Jones play the crooked sheriff for the 100th time

*See Lou's Dad help his son out when he needs him most

Actually, I have tongue in cheek, but ROUTE 666 is a pretty enjoyable, if sometimes ludicrous, horror thriller. The actors for the most part are sincere, and the muddled pacing doesn't destroy the movie. The jerky camera movements get a little old, however. Not a turkey, but maybe a little pheasant?
