Viewing Notes

First time seeing this (I skipped a lot of Stephen King movies back in the day). I wasn’t expecting much, but I totally enjoyed this.

It’s a good-looking film with some memorable images (the car, engulfed in flames, chasing down a bad guy), and cool effects (the car repairing itself).
