Free Ride

About This Movie

So, 'Free Ride' is this quirky 80s comedy that takes a wild turn when a bunch of teenagers borrow a seemingly innocent car. They don't know there's a stash of mob money hidden in it, which leads to some pretty chaotic situations. The pacing has that classic, easy-going feel of the era, but it ramps up nicely as the gangsters come after them. You get a sense of youthful recklessness and the tension between innocence and danger really shines through. The performances are solid, capturing that carefree spirit, yet there's a real sense of impending doom with the gangsters lurking. Also, it’s kind of interesting to see how they handled practical effects for some chase scenes on a budget. Definitely a unique snapshot of 80s teen comedies, with a twist.
