It’s Just A Movie Review: The Hitcher
- Posted by admin on January 22nd, 2007 filed in Reviews
I’ll admit I was looking forward to seeing this movie given that Michael Bay was producing and the previews really freaked me out, but this film was not worth the price of admission. I will say that the film had some nice scares and a lot of gore, but aside from Sean Bean the acting was weak. Sean portrayed John Ryder, a stranded hitch hiker that is a bit unstable, that takes a couple of college students on a wild ride. After the initial confrontation between Ryder and the college students the movie turns into a maze of over the top acting, crazy twists, and about twenty scenes where you just sit there trying to figure out why Sophia Bush won’t kill this guy. Overall the movie left me feeling like the writers could have ended this film after 45 minutes, but had to add some blood to make it long enough for theaters. Wait for this film to come out on DVD or cable and go see Stomp the Yard if you want to see an entertaining movie.
