I gotta say, and I'm surprised nobody else has mentioned it, but the crash scene was extremely well done.

[@Justin-cl7lg]

Then the big rig stops, he smashes down the highway in his hatchback, yet the big rig manages to catch up to him, and run into him without even noticing 😂 ok…

[@Mr._Bust]

@@Justin-cl7lgbro it’s not that deep 😅

[@Mr._Bust]

Ok I did some research. The hatchback had 50hp and the truck had 720hp. In the show it states that the truck was supped up for this job and didn’t have a load.

[@Ace-Brigade]

I really hope you're being sarcastic

[@Ace-Brigade]

​@@Mr._Bustit still would not move that fast nor would it be able to accelerate from a dead stop or make turns like them. Absolutely pathetic writing

[@stevensnyder8898]

Those are some amazing trucks, the acceleration and off-road handling are top notch. What I liked best is the console-mounted Main Character radar set and the stealth mode that allows a massive truck to fly down a dirt road without creating an enormous plume of dust behind it.

[@dannnsss8034]

That's one way of keeping tourists out

[@AnaClaudia-bn7oo]

[@whateveritis3103]

That truck has the manoeuvrability of a Mazda 3..

[@scottreynolds8845]

Loved series 1 and glad series two is coming soon and will be set in Ireland.

[@fanette1900]

Jamie Dornan still lacks charisma...... he's super handsome but only bare-chested, but as a pure actor it's not that yet... I wouldn't say no, on the other hand, to go and meet him on the set in Dublin from series 2 who is currently turning haha!!

[@neilmoore5387]

@@fanette1900 A man of few words but I find him amusing how blunt and to the point he is. I’m not homosexual but he’s a good looking fella 😂. I can honestly say I never watched or read 50 Shades ………. Liked him in The Fall and this.

[@karlvisconti5017]

Looks like an awesome movie but I doubt that that truck has that kind of maneuverability in the desert 🙄

[@greathey1234]

Or anywhere

[@sarahrigby7580]

It’s a tv series (I think what Americans call a mini-series), rather than a movie, if you were interested in watching it. I’m with you on the unlikely manoeuvrability of the truck, but most car chase type action sequences are highly unlikely- it’s why we watch them, surely? The stunt drivers and stunt vehicles and filmography techniques combining to give us an impressive car chase?

[@Atenquense]

You must not be in doubt, it would be against your common sense

[@kmarch6630]

The opening looks almost like the movie "Duel" made in 1971.

[@Marie-RoseVerwerft]

Indeed, my thoughts exactly, was a great film directed by Steven Spielberg, surely this series got some inspiration from that movie.

[@vipseat]

This a great series! Lots of twists and turns

[@neilmoore5387]

Belting film that. Such a simple idea but shows how terrifying things can get out in Mojave Desert or Aussie Outback! Wouldn’t catch me driving through either. They drive fucked up cars too that look like they’ll manage about 9 miles. One of my worst nightmares the thought of breaking down in these places. Great series The Tourist. All weird characters like the big cowboy and the plod who bells his mrs at 10 on the dot. Helen , place is full of them.

[@giantsfan9868]

OK, so there are many comments here that this truck chase asked us to suspend our belief that the truck could catch up with this car. I’ve only seen this segment of the series, so I don’t know if this truck chase was a part of the plot further into the series. But if it wasn’t, if the only purpose of the truck chase was to have Jamie Dornan have an accident and then suffer amnesia… Yes the truck chase was somewhat scary and exciting… But if it was just to get this series started with a bang… Play on words, lol… and then doesn’t go further into the series… Then for me it failed. For me, I probably won’t watch any further just because trucks chasing cars out in the desert doesn’t do much for me… Also, who was the truck driver, and why was he chasing this man, and if he succeeded in crashing this man, where did he go, or why didn’t he physically attack the man or do something with the man. Lol, but maybe all of this would have been answered further into the series,… But again I’ve lost my interest in it right from the get go. But if they needed this character to have amnesia during the rest of the movie, he could’ve just hit a large pothole which might have crashed his car and still resulted in amnesia. That wouldn’t have been very exciting, but more believable, And I may have been more invested in finding out what happened to him and kept watching further into the series. So there. 😜

[@johnmccracken3473]

LOL your second sentence is literally the plot. I stopped watching star wars after the big ship ate the little ship, I mean who was in the little ship and why did the people in the big ship want them? I lost interest.

I was watching and said if this scene isn’t a dream I’m done watching… it wasn’t.. although im sure later in the series we’ll find the whole thing didn’t happen it was just a delusion in his head and we will be thrown off like it’s a big twist when we only believed it because they literally showed us when it was happening.. all these shows have the same plots in different order… 🌽
