Really nothing but a one hundred minute car chase across country, and I loved every minute of it...

In a time when vacant retreads such as The Fast and the Furious are the problem, Vanishing Point is the answer.

Merged the appeal of Bullitt with that of, say, Zabriskie Point...fast cars and dusty existentialism. [Blu-ray]

The last quarter of Grindhouse was little more than a love note to this flick's towering excellence.

should be seen as a particularly charged variant of a now extinct genre: the artsy B-movie

The action is almost entirely made up of one man driving a car at maximum speed from Denver to, hopefully, San Francisco.

The woodenness of both direction and Newman's performance becomes increasingly apparent.

A film all but overflowing with the revolting spirit of the oppressed. Bring the noise!

A beguiling, if silly pleasure.

Takes full advantage of the subject's existential and mythical undertones without being pretentious, and you certainly get a run for your money, along with a lot of rock music.

A fairly interesting, but somewhat muddled, road movie starring Newman as an ex-cop who now drives cars from Denver to San Francisco for a living.

A movie about which I can think of almost nothing good to say.
