by Walter Chaw John Dahl's latest foray into knock - off B - movie territory is Joy Ride, a
film that indulges an awkward dedication to hiding the face of its
villain (which results
in the biggest cheat of the
film at its conclusion), presents predictably misogynistic victimizations for both of its
female characters (followed by weak - wristed salvations), and demands an ironclad suspension of disbelief that the bad guy is omniscient, omnipresent, and only ruthless when there isn't a long speech to be made.
