Initally I felt "The Pleasure Drivers" moved slowly but, in the end I felt compelled to watch it again. In doing so, I really loved it and got much more out of it. I enjoyed figuring out the characters played by Angus MacFayden (the Professor) and Lauren Holly (caregiver) both outstanding performances. I would have liked to see more of Billy Zane's character (cult leader). His coyness was a great contrast to Lauren Holly who he infuriates. I really thought the scene in his office, was one of his better scenes. My only disappointment was the lack of moral justice for her in the end. I was really rooting for her. Meatloaf gave a solid performance, but was not quite sure if his character died. I would love to see a sequel but will miss Lauren Holly's character.
