Review of Highwaymen (2004) by Grant S — 18 Jul 2014
When I read the synopsis this movie reminded me of Death Proof, Quentin Tarantino's great homage to 70s B-movies. I wasn't thinking that Highwaymen was a ripoff of Death Proof, especially as Highwaymen was released in 2004 and Death Proof 2007. However, thought it might be similar.
Well, it's not. While Death Proof was slick, entertaining and had great dialogue(as you'd expect from Tarantino) and was even plausible, Highwaymen is lame and feels contrived throughout. Also feels very cheap - the CGI is pretty weak. The car cabin-view country driving scenes look like they were shot in the 60s!
Only reason to watch this movie is Rhona Mitra...
