Movie Review #1...Hell Ride

Typically, I am one of the few movie goers in my circle who can watch a movie for the sheer entertainment value. Most of the time, I'd say 49 times out of 50, I find the movie quite enjoyable regardless of the genre or intent. Hell Ride was not one of these movies. I found the story line difficult to understand and impossible to follow. Larry Bishop used many Tarrantino techniques that, while quite successful for Tarrantino himself, just did not work for Bishop. I thought there was a lot of redundancy in the introduction of some characters while not enough for others. I am no movie critic; I really don't even know where to begin, but these are my initial feelings. Anotehr thing that just did not sit right with me is the timeline and age of characters. Am I supposed to believe that the young 20-something looking adult actor is to be the grown 40-something Bix? This was yet another discrepancy that confused me.
