Reviews

David Mann, commesso viaggiatore, si sta recando a bordo della sua automobile da un cliente. Il conducente di un'imponente autocisterna che lo precede lo sfida a sorpassarlo. Compiuto il sorpasso, però David si vede raggiungere e superare dall'autocisterna che dimostra di poter marciare a una velocità superiore a quella consentita. Ma ben presto David si rende conto che il "mostro" lo avvicina con intenti assassini. Fermatosi a un bar, telefona alla moglie poi, impaurito, aggredisce un cliente credendolo l'autista dell'autocisterna. Di nuovo in automobile, l'autocisterna riprende gli assalti in maniera sempre più esplicita. Questa volta David si trova in pieno deserto e tenta di chiedere aiuto. Mentre sta per soccombere lungo i tornanti di un passo montano, adopera l'auto come "muleta" per attrarre l'avversario e farlo precipitare in un burrone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Mann Versus Machine 16 Feb 2004
By DL Productions UK VINE™ VOICE
Format:VHS Tape
As all the reviewers have said here, this was indeed Stephen Spielberg's first movie, and a very gripping one too. David Mann is a travelling salesman on the road, he's had a row with his wife, and he's off to get a deal. There's one thing he never counted on, the brown truck - a sort of petrol carrier, and this brings nothing but fear to Mann. He overtakes the guy, but this just puts the icing on the cake, the trucker wants Mann's blood, and he's not going to stop until he drives Mann crazy, and this is what he does. Shocked, confused, isolated and annoyed, Mann tried to contact the police, even passers by, but no one takes him seriously, the whole problem escalates and the climax is amazing...

This, for me is one of best films from Spielberg, it's thrilling, and yet it doesn't have thousnads of dollars of effects. The truck is quite scary when you think of it, and Mann's reactions is excellent. The music is also gripping, and is classical of the 70s thriller.

This should really be on DVD by now, lets hope Spielberg gets it put on DVD with some exciting extras.

5.0 out of 5 stars Spielberg's First and Finest Hour...and a Half 2 Nov 2002
Format:VHS Tape
I first saw this film almost 20 years ago and it's so good that here I am searching for it on DVD. This film has basically two ingredients: Dennis Weaver who is brilliant as the mild mannered travelling salesman and a big American truck that tries to kill him. That's pretty much all there is to it which makes this film all the more remarkable as it'll have you glued for the entire 90 minutes. I guarantee you won't want to miss a second of it. If you've not seen this film yet - see it now, it's a masterpiece of film-making!

5.0 out of 5 stars Duel 1 Nov 2002
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
This film had me hanging on the edge of my seat. To begin with I thought the film was going to be boring and wouldn't involve much action, even though it had been recommended to me by a friend. Soon however, the action began. It wasn't exactly heart-stopping stuff, not all the time anyway, but questions were always popping into my head as to what was about to happen next.
The truck driver's pure evilness was summed up in one part for me, when David (Dennis Weaver) was trying to get around the truck at one point. Eventually the truck driver waved him on to overtake, little did David know that a car was speeding towards him, only in the view of the truck driver, not himself.
Dennis Weaver plays a very good role however you do find yourselves screaming at the TV at times due to David's idioticness!
All in all I think this film was an excellent starting point for Spielberg, you can actually see the great direction in the film. Although the storyline is fairly basic, it's defiantely gripping, and a definate must-see movie.
