Name the movie?
« on: June 07, 2021, 02:13:07 PM »

Nice job!  That one is pretty obscure.  I had to look up a couple actors I remembered being in it to find the name of the movie.  I remember seeing the movie and thinking, WTH!!!, they're destroying that rare 2nd gen ragtop!!!  And that's the only scene the car is used in if I remember correctly. 

Definitely a decent thriller with a cool twist of an ending.  Makes me want to look it up and see if its on Netflix or Prime.

Ive seen it a dozen times, its been awhile though, I was thinking that she was driving the car then it started to rain, but I may be wrong. First time I saw it I thought 'they cut the top of of a TATA :shock:', then looked a bit closer and saw it was a silver ta.

Never seen the movie, or maybe I have and just don't remember.

Amanda Peet is the driver (I admit, wife had to help me with the name, I just knew the face)

She's married to one of my friends from grade school.
