Carjackers is a Prime Video film that certainly exists but let this review be my only record of having seen it since I’ll have forgotten it in a couple weeks.

It has a good premise… the average workers at a luxury hotel are taking notes… and then running rich guests off the road and robbing them. But when a job goes sideways, private muscle is hired to track them down.

This film looks good and is shot well but the script and the characters are deeply boring. No matter how hard the director tries, the film just chugs along without developing much character or much interest outside of the (limited) car chase scenes.

These car scenes and resulting shoot outs are pretty good with one segment having a decent oner. Too bad there are only two such relatively shorts sequences which is weird for a film called Carjackers.

The majority of the film’s thrills allegedly come from the rather tepid cat and mouse game between the lead crook and the hired gun. This isn’t nearly as interesting as they planned since the characters are tepid and are blandly acted.

For a movie called carjackers, all I ask for is more carjacking… I guess. This flick just doesn’t get it done. I love the premise and would welcome other flicks trying the same “eat the rich” Robbin Hood kind of thing. But this flick just ain’t it.

Score: 66
