"The Naked Road" has a pathetic overall score of 4.9 at this time...indicating that it's probably a very bad movie. However, despite a low budget and mostly unknown actors, it manages to work very well and is quite entertaining.
The story is about a young model who is at heart a very nice girl. When the film begins, she's on a date with a real creep who simply believes models are glorified prostitutes. The jerk even goes so far as to suggest they go to a hotel and that she put out! He's very blunt, crude...and married. Soon he ends up trying to drive her home, as she'll have none of this monkey business. But on the way, he's arrested for speeding and they're both brought to see the judge. Now why she had to do and what happens next are huge problems in the movie as it just doesn't make sense. The judged demands the jerk pay a fine in cash...and lets him go home to get the money and keeps the model as collateral!! This is pretty dumb...fortunately the rest of the film is much more intelligent.
Soon another law breaker arrives in court and after promptly paying his fine, he offers to drive the lady home. Instead, however, he takes her to a house and holds her prisoner for days...starving her and threatening to get her hooked on drugs to make her turn tricks. And, since no one seems to know where she is, rescue from this prison is unlikely...however, she steadfastly refuses to cooperate and become a prostitute.
The film is very tense and the acting surprisingly good. All in all, aside from the brief portion in court which made no sense, it's a gritty and exciting and tense little film you can currently find on YouTube.
