It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I loved this movie from the plot, to the cast, to the finale. James LeGross has the role of his life. He is hired to kill (cowardly) William Forsythe and would succeed if it wasn't for the pesky cops and Forsythe's elusive demeanor. The best part of the movie is when LeGross goes for his signature move the "jump punch" but it wasn't a direct hit so it didn't kill Forsythe, only injured him. I don't want to give anything away, so I will let you formulate your own opinion. But I don't think that you will be disappointed with the acting or the plot in this movie, it all seems to come together perfectly throughout the entire film without any dull moments. Just give it a chance and I guarantee you won't be let down, holla.

Saw this for free on the B-side of a DVD I rented of Dark Waters.Awful clichés and contrivances in Highway Hitcher (The Pass). What if Duprey chose not to go to Reno, or if he went by plane, or didn't pick up the hitchhiker, or reported the whole story to the police earlier?Apathetic 911 workers who hang up, or don't investigate hang-ups. Other plot holes wider than "the pass" itself.Some odd direction seemed to be pointing towards a more interesting movie. Duprey and the hitcher both seemed to be having flashbacks and/or visions, some of them occasionally suggesting that they might be the same person, but no.

Well This Movie Starts Off Horrible, Through The First Half Of The Movie I Was Board To Tears. Then All The Second Half Really Grabbed My Attention and Got A Little Better. If I Rated The First Half I Would Give It A 1, The Second Half I Would Give About a 5. All I Can Say Is If You Watch This Movie, Just Get Through The First 45 Min and Then Its Decent. Over All This Movie Was Not Good, But It Is Worth Watching Once. All In All I Gave It A 5 (Only Because The Second Half)

I've seen recently many hitchhiker films, and this one is not a good one. Stupid Plot, lousy script, but good actors. The Question is: What is actor like Forsythe doing in a film like this? or James LeGros? This Film is total waste of time, If you watch it be sure you are drunk. I would give it 2/5, just because of acting.
