VHS Movie Reviews of Duel [VHS]
Movie Review: Don't come to a truck fight...armed with a car!
Summary: 4 Stars
This movie stars Dennis Weaver battling a sinister tractor trailer rig in this early 70's psychological thriller. Weaver displays varying degrees of road rage as he and the truck driver try to pass and cut each other off while driving on crooked highways with little traffic.
The truck driver is never seen, adding to the suspense and intensity of the film. It's interesting to watch if only to see Weaver's emotional state, since he's usually a mild mannered character in most of his other movies. I keep thinking of his portrayal of "Chester" in early Gunsmoke episodes.
Grab this movie and check it out, I think you'll enjoy it!
Summary of Duel [VHS]
This is the TV movie that put Steven Spielberg on the map, shortly before he made The Sugarland Express. Working from a script by Richard Matheson, the film stars Dennis Weaver as a mild-mannered traveling salesman who unintentionally angers the driver of a semi truck. Suddenly, the truck is not only riding his tail but trying to run him off the road. No matter what he does (pulling over, stopping at a diner, calling the cops), he can't get rid of it. Spielberg makes the wise decision of never showing the driver, even as he cranks the voltage on the film's suspense elements. As a result, the truck itself takes on an air of satanic menace--even a personality of sorts--as it seems to hunt its human prey. Spielberg made a lot out of a little, suggesting just how skilled a storyteller he would become. --Marshall FineAction & Adventure VHS Video
