Black Dog

Nup it won't. But there are lots and lots of truck wrecks.

Swayze plays Jack Crews, a sort of a Jean Claude Van Damme in a truck. He's a well meaning, reluctant baddie hero; the type who busts heads reluctantly and then looks soulfully at the camera.

He's broke, just out of jail and trying to win the American Dream - which these days is a modest house for his wife and daughter.

Ten years ago it would have been a swank holiday in the Caribbean. Working class heroes in today's impoverished, unfair U.S.A. can't expect too much.

He gets offered a truck drivin' job, just fifteen hours for ten thousand dollars, and doesn't believe that that just has to be too good to be true.

So off he goes and meets an ugly bunch of hombres who then want to steal his load. It's all only a set up of course for lots and lots of car wrecks, and if you're into that and don't mind rubbish films, (you're out there I'm sure, there's a market for this drivel) then this ol' movie is just for you.

There are some high points. We might have another Levon Helm on our hands. C and W singer Randy Travis makes his film debut and he's pretty impressive. Meat Loaf is in Black Dog too, but he's not. And the fellow who plays the dirty grease monkey was gross.
