Weird and wonderful

Just needed a bit more to get into A Grade territory, still fun.

A lot of promise, much preferred the first half of the film to the second.

Rutger Hauer has always been one of my favourites. The obvious Blade Runner but also with the likes of Split Second. He is near and dear to my heart and I always smile when he first appears on the screen as you have no idea what’s going to happen next. Wild card! The Hitcher is this to the extreme. He is directed, well against a minimal setting - Texas backroads - alongside C. Thomas Howell. The stories twists and turns keep you enthralled to the end. His villainous performance is a career highlight. Under rated, but still hits hard almost 40 years later.
