Leave your thoughts about Highwaymen.
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA road trip you should definitely not take...one of those movies that generates plenty of unintentional laughs as it drones on. |
| VarietyJoe LeydonLean, mean and stripped for speed, Highwaymen fires on all cylinders as an edgy and unnerving road-kill thriller. |
| Fort Worth Star-Telegram/DFW.comScott Von DoviakThe cars get to have all the fun, and they don't have nearly enough of it. |
| Denton Record-ChronicleBoo AllenJim Caviezel couldn't look more ridiculous even if he spoke Aramaic and wore a crown of thorns. Oh, wait. . . |
| Shadows on the WallRich ClineWe know exactly what the filmmakers are trying to do, and with the exception of the truly awful dialog, at least they do it efficiently. |
| Tyler Morning Telegraph (Texas)Mark ColletteElicits groans and the wrong kind of laughter. |
| Reel.comJerry RenshawDelivers plenty of scares, wince-inducing scenes and indie-film stylistic fillips. |

| EmpireAnna SmithBoth the well-choreographed crash scenes and the gritty cinematography hint at a better film. Shame no-one took the time to make it. |
| Cinema em CenaPablo VillaçaPersonagens detestáveis em um filme medíocre que ainda conta com uma conclusão moralmente desprezível. Uma experiência tão ruim quanto ser atropelado - talvez pior. |
