the wraith be the perfect movie to watch on a saturday night . the film be much more than the amazing car and the great 80 soundtrack . the wraith be a film that center on the arrival of a new guy in town jake keesey ( play by charlie sheen ) . his arrival will disrupt the activity of packard walsh gang of car thief . almost at the same time a jake arrival and a new car roar into the life of packard and his gang . this strange black car cause everyone in the gang to feel a if they need to race it . yet what no one know be that the new strange car be out to destroy packard gang . and there be something else . the wraith . a mysterious spirit that be somehow connect to the new car . packard soon realize that there be something strange go on and something that be perhaps connect to him . to something that he and his gang do . perhaps even connect to that new guy in town and jake . i think the wraith be a fantastic movie and although in my opinion and the film could have be more creative with the car racing sequence and maybe could have explain a bit more about jake and his past and but otherwise i have no other criticism . the gang of bad guy be mean but at the same time they offer comedic relief and fun . character such a skank ( play by david sherrill ) will always be memorable whenever i watch this film . i also have to comment on the fantastic soundtrack and great wardrobe and and great opening sequence . the wraith be a fun thrill ride through the 1980s .
