Dead Ahead- To begin, this movie has a great beginning; it pulled me right into it.This is something not usually seen in movies of this type, so it makes it an unusual, yet pleasant experience.The action scenes are really great. Mickey Hart played his role great. Bob Weir actually caught my interest.
I think Mickey Hart and Bob Weir worked wonderful in Dead Ahead. The great supporting cast includes Mickey Hart, Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Al Franken, Jerry Garcia.
All in all, I would rate this movie an 8.5/10. I would definitely watch this movie again.
I left some information, immages, and video previews of Dead Ahead below.
