Review of The Hitcher (2007) by Brett L — 19 Feb 2009
Remake of the 80s classic. Why they thought it needed a remake is a mystery. Why they thought they could do better is an even bigger mystery. Bean plays the part of John Ryder in this one, but lacks the creepiness and the dementedness of Rutgar Hauer.
It just looks too normal to play this part. The story is pretty much the same, except that instead of just the guy, he has a girlfriend with him from the beginning. The only good thing about this compared to the original is that perhaps the car crash effects are more spectacular.
