Review of Two-Lane Blacktop (1971) by Bill B — 03 Sep 2012

A slow moving little film that meanders around with some gear-heads that find themselves in a cross country race with a fairly nutty acting Warren Oates, who is driving a GTO. The film moves along at a slow pace despite the racing theme, and the characters all seem to just be drifting through their lives, it's interesting as a character study but may not be all that engaging if you aren't a car person.

It's an interesting film, though nothing so enthralling that I would recommend watching late at night or anything, unless you know you'll stay up for it.

I will say that I have had it grow for me in leaps and bounds on a re-watch off the To-Watch Pile, upping it an entire star rating here.

Recommended. Check it out.
