Battletruck
“A science fiction adventure of the near future.”
Certified Crap. CrapScore 51, rated by 1 admin.
Higher CrapScores mean more entertainingly bad. How we score movies.
A wandering motorcyclist helps a community threatened by an armoured truck and its domineering owner. The New Zealand scenery and imposing vehicle give the familiar wasteland story real presence; the heroics are less energetic than the machinery suggests.
