I know this was a made for TV Movie, I've seen lots of them. This movie is all right. Not the greatest one, but very watchable to say the least. Trying to be by your wife's side when she goes into labor is grueling, but when total misunderstanding goes around, a media circus has erupted. Jimmy Kowalski(Viggo Mortensen) goes out on a race to see the birth of his first child. The state police and the FBI end up being on his tail when the chase starts. The FBI wants him bad. For what? Jimmy admits his innocence. Accusing him of being a right-wing militia man? I DON'T THINK SO! When he had that blowout, the snake handler helps him out with the rattler. And these other tribesmen let him expand his mind on life and help him elude the law. And that handshake was awesome. After that, his oil pan ruptures and he sees a woman on a motorcycle wearing a bikini top. He says, "Are you insane?" when he sees her like that. She asks the same thing. Looks who's talk now. The good news that he got to be with his daughter, the bad news that his wife dies while he gets to her. Either way or the other, one way leads to another, and it's not worth killing yourself after the spouse passes. He was the real good guy, the bad guys were the FBI. And this movie here is OK to watch, could have used a little more work done to it, but Oh Well. Rating 2 out of 5 stars.
