Review of The Hitcher (2007) by Jay C — 27 Mar 2011
Im a big fan of the original movie so was skeptical about this being remade but I actually enjoyed this, it was one of the better remakes i've watched. Sean bean as the hitcher is nowhere near as convincing as Rutger hauer was in the original movie although it was a tough act to follow anyway because of how awesome rutger player john ryder in the original movie.
Big difference in this one is its the girl who takes the role of the hero at the end of the movie where in the original its the guy, Sophia bush made it instantly watchable for me already which is why I decided to give it a chance.
. Zachary Knighton did a decent job but his character became annoying at times and I really found myself actually being glad when the scene of his death came. Overall: One of the better remakes but nowhere near as good as the original, if your looking for gorier scenes watch this one over the original.
