Title: Name the movie
Post by: Sam on June 22, 2011, 23:57:37 PM
I can't ermember this film

I was sure it was mel gibson
his wife just goes missing
he tries to find her
but no one will admit to seeing her
even though they were just in the town

I thought it had bruce mgGill or someone just like him as a lorry driver.

HELP ?

it's set in the desert ?

they have her locked in a chest freezer underground in a barn at the end ?

the "baddies" are doing it to steal stuff (from lorries etc...)


near the start, one of the "baddies" disconnects something under the bonnet so there car overheats on the road...

they split up, he stays with the car (red 4x4thing) and she goes with a truck driver to go get help

they're about to kill her, but she pretends her husband is rich so they should hold her for ransom, she tell s them he's a "donut king" after seeing something on a pack of donuts ?   they phone him for ransom... they're just about to kill her because he doesn't click on until they say something about being a king and he plays along ?

that one ?


no idea what it's called.... it's a bit old... be I'd guess less than 10 years ?  i can remember going to the cinema to see it :)
(i think)

Yes that sounds right Alan. I think it might even be 15 years old.
