Movie Reviews

Cinema em Cena - 9/10 by Pablo VillaçaA partir de um conceito simples, o diretor cria tensão e transforma seu vilão (muito bem vivido por Hauer) em uma figura quase alegórica.
Newsweek - 9/10 by Jack KrollA stunner of unrelenting tension interrupted by action, violence and gore.
CinePassion - 9/10 by Fernando F. CroceAn uncanny frisson, plus a road of endless curves
Variety - 9/10 by Variety StaffA highly unimaginative slasher that keeps the tension going with a massacre about every 15 minutes.
eFilmCritic.com - 9/10 by Scott WeinbergOK, all together now: NEVER pick up hitchhikers!
Washington Post - 8/10 by Paul AttanasioThis set-up is intriguing, and you wish director Robert Harmon had made more of it.
Supercala.com - 8/10 by John VenableThis film is the reason Rutger Hauer is still a name that movie fans know.
rec.arts.movies.reviews - 8/10 by Mark R. LeeperContrived, unbelievable, and ultimately dull thriller is one more film to waste Rutger Hauer.
Washington Post - 7/10 by Joe BrownMuch of the problem lies with Howell, a dilute, rabbity actor in the Tim Hutton mold. Everyone acts Howell off the screen, including Jennifer Jason Leigh, who displays an easeful gruffness as the girl who joins Jim. With Howell's weightlessness, the deeper elements of the story -- the byplay between guilt and innocence, for example -- never accumulate.
The Globe and Mail (Toronto) - 4/10 by Jay ScottExistential terror, in the case of Robert Harmon's Hitcher, means an unmotivated viciousness that's as cryptic at the story's end as it was at the beginning.
