This is a clever idea. Remake a movie that was already perfect but take away anything enjoyable. That's bold. And that's the Trucks promise.
Trucks takes the explosions, insane, bold, cartoonish characters, high budget set pieces, gore, and incredible AC/DC soundtrack and replaces it with four broken down farm trucks and a gravel pit. Contrary to everything you might expect, this formula fails create an entertaining film. So grab all the Canadian film tax credits you can find, a potato truck from the seventies who's odometer flipped three times, and join Matt and Tristan for the high school for the criminally insane's reenactment of Maximum Overdrive, Trucks.
