While Sean Bean deserves credit for his 'menacing' performance (applause), I'm disappointed that the film overall was really nothing to get excited over...
Just another instance of where the remake has fallen short of the glory of the original...cheap shocks don't make a remake ...( read more)
I liked this, I've seen the Rutger Hauer original and though it was good but I still like this. Mr Bean is not exactly creepy but strong, firm, gritty and has a sense of realism about him. He could be a nutter and a normal person, he plays it well. The young couple he's after are...( read more)
I just bought this on DVD, and I liked it. I think that if you haven't seen the original and have something against older looking movies then you will definitely enjoy this. On the other hand, I prefer the original and felt like society's money would be better spent actually purc...( read more)
A heart-pounding thriller that's jammed with explosive action. A real adreniline rush. This film grabs you like you wouldnt belive. A chilling edge of your seat ride. Sean Bean gives a superb and bone-chilling performance. He's the most satanic, evil and charasmatic villian I've ...( read more)
En s?arrêtant au bord de la route, Jim et Grace ne pouvaient imaginer qu?ils allaient prendre en stop... un tueur psychopathe. Ils réussissent à lui échapper, mais l?homme continue ses massacres en faisant accuser le jeune couple, qui se voit obligé de fuir face à la police. Leur...( read more)
I actually enjoyed this one. Sean was incredible as usual, the rest were ok, but there were some good scenes here and hey, at least they didn't got for a fucking PG-13 rating and went for R. Plus Sophia Bush is sexy which also helped. Defently worth seeing, not fantastic or worth...( read more)
This movie had a few moments, but those moments were few and far between. Large parts of the movie were so unbelievable that is made the movie rediculous.
The screenplay disastrously rewrites the original's climax, turning Bush's college waif into an indestructible female Terminator who can unerringly fire a police-issue riot gun and kick a steel paddy-... full review
The whole thing is so deja vu , it gets kind of ho-hum, despite the increased body count and quick running time. full review
No one's going to argue that the 1986 psycho-thriller The Hitcher was a pillar of world cinema, but it had a scuzzy originality. The remake, by default, lacks even that. I don't think I've seen a movi... full review
Zachary Knighton's second-rate impersonation of Matthew Lillard's Shaggy makes one long for C. Thomas Howell's irresolute interpretation of Jim Halsey (truly an amazing feat). full review
it was good but then the end... gosh... i wasn't even ready!!! i didn't think that the bad guy would do that!! it's sooo icky i can't even say!!! but besides from that it was great
is a good movie, but isn't something from other wolrd. recommended only if you like this kind of movies.
This movie was yeah suprisingly good. Although i didn't find it that 'scary',it will def make u think twice when u see a hitch hiker. Bean as the "villian" was totally believable!
the 'death scene' was totally sick in a good way! Really worth a look, but if ya got a weak stomach prob give it a miss.i'll give it 4 out 5!
total waste of 84 minutes. not even 1 good death scene in the whole movie the scene with the truck tied to the guy could have been the money shot if they had just given us 2 seconds more footage.
This Movie was Fucking great! it was PURE AMAZING!! I did compare it to the original and I felt it was WAY better because it was updated and the current destination they were taking. This movie has everything in it; horror, suspense, a love story, what more do you haters want from it!?!? I loved it because it was scary, the guys will love it for that too and also Sophia Bush's scene in the shower. All in All this movie ROCKED!!!
Sick movie, sick script, sick director
Sean Bean is a big actor, i don't know why did he involve in this shit
work
-the policemen were soooo fuckin' dumb -he killed an entire police
squade with a pistol -he broke his finger and freed himself while the
dumb officer looking at him -the boy & the girl entered the motel & the
clerck doesn't feel anything -and i don't know why 'John Ryder' didn't
kill them in many times
soooo as i said Sick movie, sick script, sick director
This movie wasn't very great, cause the way the character acted made me mad, for example if I'm driving, n I see someone out there, I won't surely help that person out, cause u can't be sure now a days who is a victim n whos innocent...
People probably hate it so much because apparently the original was alot better. I havnt seen it myself.
