Autobahn: Runaway Car: Reviews

Abysmally bad, preposterous nonsense, so stupid it's actually insulting. There are so many problems with this sloppily-made TV movie that we won't even bother going into all the details. Suffice it to say that it's horribly written, directed, edited, scored, and voice-acted. Plus, for a movie where the entire storyline is basically a car running out of control at top speed on the freeway (sound familiar?), shouldn't they have had the car drive faster than 35mph while filming? I mean, any one of the passengers could practically have just stepped out of the car at any time and jogged to a stop. And shouldn't the police escort car have been driving IN FRONT of the runaway car instead of BEHIND IT!!!? WTF??!

And could anything more have "gone wrong"!?? The premise is basically this: 1) A mechanic messes up this lady's car by accident, supposedly because he's listening to the radio too loud, and 2) the car's throttle is stuck wide open, AND 3) the car won't shift out of gear, AND 4) the key is stuck in the ignition, AND 5) the freeway is under repair, AND 6) there's an evil government official who wants the car to crash, AND 7) just by chance, the car's owner is giving rides to TWO STRANGERS and a baby that day, AND 8) there's a drawbridge that won't go down due to "technical problems", AND 9) the helicopter pilot "just didn't see the overpass ahead"??? PUHLEEASE!! Can I just bitch-slap the writer(s) of this farce? Please?

This is an embarrassing disgrace. All copies of this turd should be shipped back to Germany to the producers' offices along with warm bags full of dog crap. If you're a writer, and your storyline relies entirely on a hundred different 10,000-to-1 coincidences in order to make any sense, you need to be able to realize that you f**king SUCK as a writer. Rig up the noose, and kick the chair out from beneath you, Special Ed., you'd be doing the world a favor. We hate you.

And if this is the most popular show on German TV, can someone please send Germany a damn satellite feed with some decent programming on it?
