At one point pegged as 'the Australian Hitchcock', Richard Franklin (Cloak & Dagger) at least partially lives up to that lofty comparison with the tense, sometimes comedic thriller Road Games. As the truck-driving (doesn't make him a "truck driver") Quid, Stacy Keach gives a terrific performance, making up for the non-factor that is Jamie Lee Curtis.
Not as shock (or schlock) heavy as some other Ozploitation films, Games manages the rare feat of being cult worthy and genuinely compelling.
TOMORROW'S BACON!
