The movie wasn't unwatchable. It was OK; but, when you have a spit shined Ford emblem perfectly centered on the screen, instead of concentrating on the action going on, that's obtrusive to me. I don't care that the 2 vehicles in the movie were Fords. Good for Ford. I can even let it go that the vehicle she was driving in the end was exactly like the one destroyed when she first met Will; but, once again, spit shined after a long drive and the emblem perfectly centered on the screen, as though it was the focus of the scene. Unrealistic and distracting.
Also, I doubt very seriously that anybody, with half a brain, would have chosen a straight shift vehicle for chasing deer around New York City, with a rifle in his lap. Getting a shot off like that would have been tricky as hell. The car is cool. The scene was stupid as hell.

Oh great...ruin the movie for me.
Now I know that Will wasn't alone.

Looked like the same vehicle to me. Same rack and everything. Even the color was the same. It was an Expedition BTW.

FYI:
"But this time around, it's not just a Ford convertible that gets face time. Smith also shares scenes with a Ford Expedition and a Ford Escape Hybrid. "
It is an Escape in the end.

I'm big enough to admit a mistake.

Sweet little clip of Will running down some deer with a Shelby, complete with supercharger whine.

Why don't you write your senator about Transformers and Cast Away too, damn them for advertising in their movies!
:shakes his head: ....confusing an Escape for an Expedition EL....that's classic.
