Rating: - Over The Hill is very entertaining
"Over The Hill" is good. I watched it on the Independent Film Channel. What I liked most about the film: 1)The main character. 2)The engaging road story. 3)What HAPPENS in the road story. 4)The action. What I didn't exactly like about the film: 1)The ending. Way too fast of an ending. 2)The main character's downward slope into depression and anger. It's a George Miller film. It seems as though he can make anything interesting. Whether it be about driving on mindless roads or cooking fish, it's all just too entertaining. Rent first.
