Review of Vanishing Point (1971) by Ty H — 02 Apr 2008
If you like car chases, check it out. if you like hot cars, or one hot car, check it out. if you like the American Southwest or 70's era films, check it out. if not, you might want to move on and watch Easy Rider.
Don't go into it expecting much of a plot, or a whole lot of information on the main character or why he's even running. really, he's had some rough times and he's at the end of his rope. that's about it.
But. . . that doesn't make it unenjoyable. it's an extremely sparse, really well-done chase film that's with some great acting and side-characters. there's some obvious commentary on law enforcement and free lifestyles, but what the hell, Vietnam was raging and everyone hated the establishment.
