I like the storyline of this show,it attract me so much
Excellent, Without a doubt!!
When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.
The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.
This is a dark and suspenseful, edge of your seat, thrill ride. This movie was so much better than I had thought it was going to be. I really can't believe I hadn't seen this sooner.
I discovered this fantastic film more than thirty years ago. The first week of its release and I still feel astonished by this first viewing. It is one of the best film ever, all genres confounded. I did not consider the Rutger Hauer's character as the devil side of the hero, but only as a mad man who desired to be stopped in his bloody odyssey. he used the young man to kill him. That seems so obvious to me. And this is also the second film starring Hauer and Jennifer Jason Leigh after the tremendous FLESH AND BLOOD, a couple of years earlier.
This movie... It had a sort of legendary, mystical quality before I watched it. Heard it was pretty good many years ago, always liked Haur a lot, had bits of the trailer imprinted in my memory from 30 years ago, but just never got to see it. So glad I watched it today of all days... it was just one of those days (my normally sweet fat lazy cat bit my 6 year old daughter and drew a tiny bit of blood because she disturbed him by trying to put a blanket on him to keep him warm... Stupid flipping cat... Water spray bottle x 100 revenge/punishment) and now I can sleep better having purged some aggravation from my heart. More from the movie than the water bottle (all he had to do was stay in the kitchen instead of coming near me to beg for a fourth meal after attacking my kid). To the review, I just loved it. Rutger gave his best performance I think. The word menacing doesn't do it justice. I won't spoil it, but do this if you can. Avoid plot summaries, reviews, or spoilers of any kind. When you watch the movie, try to figure it out. Ask yourself what is happening for certain and what parts are a hallucination or the supernatural. I think this movie has several layers to it that come together nicely if you pay close attention to detail. Great performances all around truth be told... A few people launched careers off this movie if I am not mistaken.
This movie has to be one of the most entertaining road movies I've ever seen. It follows the story of a young man sent across the country to deliver a car to California from Chicago. He ends up picking up a hitchhiker and chaos ensues.When I first saw this movie, I thought the beginning would be the best part. But I was thoroughly surprised when I found the rest of the movie is just as good. The interaction with the hitchhiker and the man at the diner I found to be one of the most tense scenes in the movie.Even though the film has cheesy moments, those are saved by Rutger Hauer's spot on acting as the hitchhiker. He really puts his all into the part and makes it clear his one goal is to make his escapee suffer slowly before he can die. The climax of the movie puts a nice cap on the movie and leaves you at the edge of your seat. This slasher/thriller movie is sure to please, just make sure you don't pick up any hitchhikers along the way.
