Death Proof (2007)
A scarred stuntman hunts three friends in a muscle car, blending pulpy action with dark, witty satire.
Austin's hottest DJ, Jungle Julia, sets out into the night to unwind with her two friends Shanna and Arlene. Covertly tracking their moves is Stuntman Mike, a scarred rebel leering from behind the wheel of his muscle car, revving just feet away.
How intense is Death Proof?
Death Proof is mildly scary, with graphic gore and brutal violence. Emotionally it carries some weight. The pace is measured, and it is a full-attention watch and a late-night trip. The humor runs dark and dry. Rated R.
