I WATCHED THIS MOVIE FOR MY 2022 MOVIE CHALLENGE
WEEK 1: A MOVIE IN A LANGIAGE OTHER THEN ENGLISH
Description: A cocksure,
road-raging family man (Jeroen Spitzenberger) finds himself pursued and
terrorized by the vengeful van driver (Willem de Wolf) he chooses to tailgate.
Review: The film opens with a classic overview shot. A mowed, obviously Dutch
wheat field; a man in a cycling uniform with a bicycle on his shoulder. Anxious,
extremely anxious. Running, half stumbling. This man clearly fear for his life.
A unpleasant fate is awaiting.
Later we meet Hans, his wife
Diana and their tow daughter Robine and Milou. They are on their way to Hans’
parents, but obviously a bit later on the road then Hans wanted to be. Because
he wants to get there quickly, he starts racing the highway. When, on the road,
they end up driving behind a white van that doesn’t want to make way for them,
Hans decides to tailgate him. But that was a bad idea.
“Bumperkleef” is a very
fast-paced thriller, with enough exciting elements to keep you invested the
entire runtime. Which is only 85 minutes, making it the perfect length for a
movie like this. Besides Jeroen Spitzenberger, the acting is a bit flat and the
movie could have also worked without to much dialogue.
“Bumperkleef” is a fun,
no-nonsense thriller that can be easily enjoyed without having to thnk too
much.
Rating: 3,5
