Arty road movie - By: HJ, 25 Nov 2007 
Offbeat thriller with moments bordering on surrealism, rather strange but that's it's strong point, I couldn't take my eyes off it until it finished. I think if it didn't have an actress the standard of Madeleine Stowe it could have failed miserably, that's not to say the other actors are no good but she is the lead actor so was going to make or break the film. Reminded me a bit of The Machinist, similar unsettling hypnotic intensity. Jonathan Rhys-Meyers does a pretty good American accent.
Octane - By: D. Cowan, 25 Nov 2007 
As someone said...quite dreadful...but nicely shot...as to being described as a vampire film...come off it, absolute nonsense...it had the capabilities,,,but it is clear that the director missed his chances & just had no idea where he was going or what the plot was. it had mood...sometimes...night....but no vampires...if the director learnt anything from watching dawn til dusk he might have had some fire with fangs & great action scenes,,,but this was standard hokum dressed to look impressive...give it a miss.
Avoid at all costs - By: , 21 Nov 2005 I liked the title of this film, so I rented it from Amazon, but it was appallling - I don't understand how the other two reviews could say anything positive. It's poorly shot in uninteresting scenes (most of them in the car!). The acting is appallling - the actors have one expression & one tone of voice each!. After peservering for 45 minutes I was STILL waiting for the plotline to get started & abandoned the film. I tried again to watch it the following day, & fast forwarded, but the end was just as poor. I know Amazon give us great deals on 3 or more DVD's per month, but don't waste your time on this one. Sorry.
Great Art Movie - By: , 03 May 2005 
This was a beautifully shot movie with quite a unique twist to your standard vampire film. Only down point was that it had a very slow start.
I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - By: Brandie Desso, 25 Feb 2005 
I think the movie Octane is an amazing movie. I love
Mischa Barton, & I think Jonathan Rhys Meyers is the hotest man on the face of this earth. And I so wish I was Mischa when there in the car together. Well I hope you learn from this movie, well talk to you people later.
