michael dudikoff star a a police officer who spend the entire woman stalk his estranged wife ( savina gersak ) and who be in the clutch of psychotic hitchhiker mark hamill and seem hamill want to go to the loony bin and want gersak to be his wife ( this movie be so silly . ) and during the movie dudikoff be tie to a hood of a car and while hamill drive and gersak scream and hamill twitch in front of the camera while robert mitchum cash an easy paycheck a he barely look at the camera a he play hamill doctor . midnight ride have all the element there to be a decent movie but in the hand of bob bravler this be all ridiculous with no stab in credibility what so ever . for instance dudikoff be cripple in the beginning of the film ( my guess be that he break his leg do one of the stunt for the movie ) and yet despite this he still manage to outdo his american ninja style heroic action with plenty of gusto to spare . ever sprain an ankle . well you can barely walk and now try imagine try to beat someone up at the same time . oh and consider that break your leg be much much bad than that . more implausibility play out . the climax in particular be so ridiculous that it become obvious that there be no attempt at credibility to any of the action sequence . what be even more amusing be just how misogynist this flick be . the woman in this film be put through an ordeal because she have the audacity to leave her husband and hamill mother be a psychopath ( hamill sister have an affair with him ) and another female victim talk back to her boyfriend and the first female victim be shrewish and hence these woman be either kill or put through an ordeal . the film also never note the sharp irony that dudikoff really be not a good guy and in that he just as insane a the villain of the movie . dudikoff refuse to let his wife go a he take off after her . he offer stock apology that seem manipulative and he steal car and furthermore seem to rescue his wife out of jealousy rather than actual love . of course read too much into a flick be somewhat pretentious even for me and but there be no doubt that that this thing be somewhat sexist . this of course do not bother me so much and a the credibility of the action sequence and story . plus the acting be not very good . dudikoff come off the best which say something consider who he be . mitchum seem embarrass and hamill be hammy and gersak be a rather weak heroine . however the most annoying thing about this movie be just how many time hamill keep pick up gersak . it happen at least 3 time and each time the explanation be absurd . movie like midnight ride live and die by their director execution and in bob bravler we have a guy who have no real sense of distinguishable style so the action sequence be only okay and make it easy to point out flaw in the credibility of how such action sequence be conduct . therefore the audience see through the plot and realize that this far fetched thriller be hardly thrill . half out of 4 ( poor ) .
