This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.

I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

I have seen a lot of terrible movies, but this movie is a close contender for the worst movie of all time. It's even worse than Batman and Robin, and I don't say that lightly. This movie literally made me want to rip out my own eyes. We were screaming at the screen: "End! Please roll credits! For the love of God, please end!" And it kept going and going. It is entirely shot in front of a green screen, and no attempts were made to find a real desert (like some sand and some rocks are hard to find!). No attempts were also made to make anything look convincing, such as turning on a fan so the hair of the actors is at least moving while they are driving in an open car. It drags on and on, with very little story to speak of, and yet endless exposition delivered in the worst way possible. It's all carried by awful mellow rock songs, and keeps going and going. And just when you think the movie is over, it gives you yet more terrible songs you have to sit through. Roll those credits already! How is this movie getting such great reviews? Am I even on the right planet here? This movie is horrendous!

Saw it in Las Vegas as part of a film festival here. Head and shoulders above all other films in the festival and it received a best picture award which was deserved. It was the best film I have seen in this festival so far (I've seen I think 30 films so far). This was a big step up in the theater and this film had the best photography I have seen in a theater in a longtime. It didn't rely on shaky cam or other tricks but instead was like a painting come to life. It reminded me of the paintings in the michael mann film manhunter. creepy and unbelievably vivid and colorful. the acting was surprising, although my expectations were low based on the other film's in the festival. Mike Pare was excellent. I usually find him dull and wooden but in this movie The guys a movie star. Clare Kramer was so gorgeous to look at that she was seductive and frightening in the same moment. Definitely up there with Antony hopkin's as hannibal the cannibal. same level of performance. she was so creepy and scary but fascinating at the same time. its was weird how violent and ruthless she was yet I found myself feeling sympathetic towards her. She has real talent. Her partner in crime was really great as well. Loved seeing the actress from Warriors again. another nice performance. believe pare, kramer and the warriors actress all won awards that night. so even though I never heard of streets of wire, the film did a good job of setting up its world and all the drama from the character's past. the amazing thing is how they used rock music all the time to tie the film and characters together. I think there's been a films in the past 10 years that tried this but this was the best rock music movie i can remember, by far. as the credits played at the end there was a lot of clapping and big smiles everywhere. i think everyone was glad they could let out a breath and it was very up feeling in the theater. hat's off to everyone who made this film. finally something entirely original and unexpected. not a moment where you could relax and nothing predictable in anyway. I would love to see it again.

It was great to see the movie be outlined by the Streets of Fire film. Sadly I was too young to see it when it came out but I got it and great movie. I went to the Road To Hell premiere in Las Vegas, great performances by all but what a great new comer and band. There were some part in the film that I quiet did not understand but in reference to Streets of Fire but I highly recommend everyone to get Streets of Fire if you have not seen it. The music was incredible it was great to see a female that can act and actually sing and write songs!This film will definitely be another great cult classic the music rocks! Albert,and cast you have a new fan! Thank you for the great night and I cannot wait till I own the film.

Saw it at the Austin Fantastic Fest last year. It was screened with Streets of Fire by Walter Hill and the stars of that and Road to Hell were present. It was quite disconcerting for me as I have never seen Streets of fire before so to see a very youthful Michael Pare and then to see him or his character over twenty years later was one of the most strong experiences I have at a movie screening. Both films were done with much style and surreal images. Neither film was set in a real world but a world of our imaginations. But the contrasting views were powerful. It was like in Streets of fire Pare was still full of romance and hope but years later that hope is destroyed and he is instead cynical and hostile. There was a core of god in him in the first film and he seeks to nurture the promise of that good but years later in Road To Hell he's more than disillusioned with the world. I found the whole thing fascinating and thoughtful. It too bad that Road To Hell was not near finished and was quite rough in the presentation. I am curious to see how it comes out in the end because it has a much on the story's mind. How life twists and turns and how we change over time. I think this is a new approach where you see the character as a young idealistic hero turned years later into bitterness and you feel his pain and what disappointments he must have had. One idea my friends talked about like his sister says in the beginning of Road to hell, is how he was always troubled and not right in the head or heart even when he was a child and how Ellen was his hold on the hope he could be good. You do see Pare's anger and dark side in Streets of Fire and is fascinating to see how it ends up consuming him years later. I hope Road to hell can fix some of the technical problems and get it all okay. It is quite intelligent with ideas but is shocking and profane and with horrifying violence but it works well as a character study of a hero gone very dark.
