Jailbreakers

I guess this made for TV movie is an attempt to throw back to the days of drive in movies and AIP, however veteran director William Friedkin forgets one thing, to make it enjoyable. Shannen Doherty is a flirtateous high school cheerleader and Antonio Sabato Jr. is her motorcycle driving, bad boy, boyfriend on the run from the law. To be fair, I can't fully blame Friedkin, because most of the cringe worthy moments in the film are due to the atrocious script. But maybe that was the point; though it just doesn't have the spirit of a low-budget 60's-70's era biker movie. Features a performance by a young Adrien Brody.
