Pros: Brilliant action. good cast
Cons: Too fast paced, lack of direction and lacks punch of the original.

Pros: Lots of action and gore.
Cons: Acting not as genuine as the original version.

Pros: Bush and Knight are good, Bean is perfect as the evil hitchhiker, some good action
Cons: too violent, needed a little work on dialogue, needed more development
Summary: C. Thomas Howell and Jennifer Jason Leigh went running from a violent hitchhiker (Rutger Hauer) back in 1986, and Hollywood thought it was time to re-new the film with a much flashier and updated version. The story didn't change much, rather choosing to ... read more

Pros: Suspenseful, lots of action, good scare factor
Cons: A little too much blood & gore
Summary: This movie is a remake of an earlier film with a classic horror storyline: don't pick up hitchhikers or you're likely to end up dead. Grace and Jim, a college-age couple in Texas, set off on a road trip. They begin to go through New Mexico in a ... read more

Pros: Sean Bean, One Cool Death Scene
Cons: Plot, Ending, Script, Story, Very Repetitive Scenes
Summary: Produced by the same producers of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, The Hitcher seemed like a good movie renting choice to me. It also seemed like a good choice because I also like Sean Bean and I believe that he is an excellent actor in Hollywood right now. ... read more

Pros: Sean Bean establishes John Ryder as one of the all-time great psycho killers..
Cons: May be too extreme for some audiences...
Summary: They punched so many holes in this one over at Rotten Tomatoes that I thought I'd come across the wrong movie. In fact, this turns out to be a remake of a 70's flick starring Rutger Hauer as John Ryder and C. Thomas Howell in the Jim Halsey role. It was ... read more
