Review of The Sugarland Express (1974) by Ken S — 12 Jun 2012

After directing the TV film "Duel" Spielberg made his move to the big screen, making his theatrical feature film debut with this quirky film based on the true story of Lou Jean Poplin, who after getting out of jail fellow convict husband out of pre-release jail and kidnaps a state trooper in Texas in order to get to Sugarland and get her son back, who has been taken away by the state.

It is a good film, it shows that Spielberg quality, which is evident pretty early on. Hawn is really good, and the supporting cast is solid as well. I would definitely recommend checking this film out.
