A couple of rebellious pre-teen kids happens upon the apparently abandoned title vehicle in the woods, and decide to take it for a joy ride. It wouldn’t be much of a movie if they didn’t get more than they bargained for.

This occasionally vicious low-budget indie film just motors along through a variety of fun plot twists, sometimes powered solely by its own originality. Kevin Bacon, in a silly moustache, exercises his darkly comic side as the bent but not-too-smart sheriff the car belongs to. Jon Watts’s direction is lean and effective, and he keeps it real within its oddball parameters. Well worth a look. (88 min)
