Interstate (2007)
Pretty good if you're into film noir
Saw this at a film festival last year. This isn't a typical thriller. It's more of a mystery noir film. Moody lighting, low key acting, murder and femmes fatals. If you rent it expecting car chases and fight scenes you'll be left on your appetite. If you're a fan of film noir, crime stories, this little gem will not disappoint. It also reminded me of Detour, the 1945 film by Edgar Ulmer. There is some creative use of camera work and lighting. Like I say, it's all very subtle compared to the typical "thrillers" we get nowadays. The special effects are great. With many Route 66 locations depicted like over the top Americana. The actors have some great moments, and other not so great but overall very professional considering their age. Music and sound could have been better but then again, this is low budget film making. I would recommend this movie to teenagers and fans of film noir everywhere.
