Story: Rusty Nail is back on the road again looking to punish injustice at every turn - and this time it's with a group of hotheaded street racers on their way to the Road Rally 1000. As they drive through a desolate shortcut on the way to the race, an encounter with Rusty turns sour and soon he is tracking, teasing and torturing them until the end of the road.


Likes : This is by far the best Joy ride film yet if you look the brutal gory scene of death because this one holds no punches.Trucker serial-killer Rusty Nail continues his reign of terror in the third instalment of the Joy Ride franchise. In Joy Ride 3, Rusty Nail (played this time around by stuntman/actor Ken Kirzinger) is innocently driving along in his rig when he’s almost run off the road by a group of street racers taking a shortcut to their next race. The trucker then hunts them down, making sure they regret ever crossing him as hes always done in the other two films so there is nothing new here other than some one has pissed him off for a different reason.
The first Joy Ride–directed by John Dahl back in 2001–was a financial and critical success, with the poor straight-to-video Joy Ride 2: Dead Ahead coming out in 2008. Joy Ride 3 is a vast improvement and a bit closer to the first film, with an interesting story, slick production and some brutal deaths being scene throw out by Rusty as he doesn't hold back on giving he psychopathic justice.
 Ken Kirzinger played the Rusty Nail character with a pretty much menacing way not as much as the first actor that played rusty in the first film but does a pretty good job, and with us not really seeing his face for most of the film, it was quite effective.
 I will say Some of Rusty’s killing technique was quite original and inventive that was mostly achieved using items from his truck. I’ve never seen snow-chains being used like that before, and we were also treated to watching Rusty remove someone’s face with his fan-motor which I’m sure will keep gore-hounds happy because that is seriously blood thirst as well as a few other scene that would probable make you throw up.
The acting was pretty solid  for a low-budget movie, the production was where this film shone with some great special effects with the blood & gore. If you can overlook the many things that don’t make a whole lot of sense then you’ll certainly enjoy Joy Ride 3.

Dislikes : Another predictable end again, which i was expecting this to be a trilogy that ends on a trilogy but no, just like wolf creek ends really so nothing surprising there.

Overall : Brutal death scene, alot of bloody gore, great acting

Rating: 4.7 out of 5 for entertainment / 7 out of 10 for concept & story-line
