I totally agree on Halicki being one of the most original filmmakers in quite some time and the whole "realistic" feel to it probably comes from a "no faking it" attitude. What you see is what you get! <br /><br />That last jump was crazy, in the commentary one of the narrators said that he had work on the car for a day to get it running again after that awesome jump.Shep.

The acting is also more solid and consistent.

The final car chase (which seem to last like an hour) is pretty awesome but the story itself was really meh.Castorhttp://www.anomalousmaterial.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6917634143872972680.post-75607701928887732332012-05-28T14:16:32.303-05:002012-05-28T14:16:32.303-05:00Dave, I wouldn't call it my favorite, but it&#...Dave, I wouldn't call it my favorite, but it's definitely a great sequence. I see your point about not calling it a movie.
