The Hitcher 2007
The Hitcher
This is a remake of the cult classic starring C. Thomas Howell and Rutger Hauer, and frankly, they should have left it alone, as is my feeling with most remakes.
Product Description:
A road trip takes a deadly turn in this terrifying thriller about a young couple (Sophia Bush and Zachary Knighton) tormented by a psychotic hitchhiker (Sean Bean) who forces them to face their fears head-on. The open road becomes a battleground of blood and metal in the race to reveal the chilling truth about this relentless killer. No one knows who he is, what he's after, or how to stop this "truly twisted villain". Watch the madness unfold with intense edge-of-your-seat chase sequences drive this sinister film to a deadly ending you won't soon forget!
He kills everybody he comes in contact with including a police station with 2 heavily armed cops. The movie offers no explanation how he pulled that off.
The way he shoots up all the police cars in the only really big chase scene, was just impossible. It was not believable at all, how a guy with a PISTOL, was able to kill 6 officers in cars, and take out a helicopter police unit.
The ending was lame too.
Our one and only decent cop is killed far too easy, and our stupid, whiny, starring girlfriend, takes the bad guy out with a police rifle after not firing a gun once during the whole movie, she doesn't even like them, but she somehow managed a perfect shot to the kneecap, and then a head shot kill with one hand.
Yeah, like that's believable.
Don't even waste your money or your Netflix seeing this one.
