Review of Maximum Overdrive (1986) by Bill Cosford for Miami Herald — 22 Jun 2002
Maximum Overdrive offers a variation on what has become a hopelessly hackneyed theme -- technology as monster. As long as King is tinkering with his crazed machines, the film sustains a certain amount of ominous tension, but as soon as the author turns his attention to his actors, the movie's slender storyline goes limp.
It's dreary to the max.
