Mindless violence justified only by poor characterization. The Hitcher offers predictable 'thrills' and a shallow plot that seems to perpetuate itself for the sake of attempting to fill the void between the film's beginning Mindless violence justified only by poor characterization. The Hitcher offers predictable 'thrills' and a shallow plot that seems to perpetuate itself for the sake of attempting to fill the void between the film's beginning and a divergent conclusion, the only possible end to such a spiraling sequence of events masquerading as a plot.… Expand

Someone needs to take away Michael Bay's re-make privileges. His company butchered (yeah, I know) "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and now they've ruined a film that was very close to my heart. Bad script, bad acting, bad direction. This Someone needs to take away Michael Bay's re-make privileges. His company butchered (yeah, I know) "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and now they've ruined a film that was very close to my heart. Bad script, bad acting, bad direction. This film is pure worthlessness. Do yourself a favor and rent the original. It's pretty damned fun and a hundred times better than this.… Expand

If you're the type of person who enjoys blood and gore galore, then feel free to go and see this movie. Otherwise, try and stay away. I wasn't too crazy about this movie.

An awful modern suspense/triller remake of a cult movie with Rutger Hauer.

I walked in hoping for a few redeeming elements against the predictable narrative lapses. Decent performances ? Witty repartee ? Some story intelligence ? Not really.

Only noteworthy thing about it is the unintentional comedy.

Rather putrid actually, in case you hadn't heard. There are some weird early 2000s music video-esque scenes. Not one good moment in the whole thing. Sean Bean isn't even very good. I don't blame him.

This movie could have been a lot better if there weren't so many what in the hell moments. I understand that it's a movie and I need to suspend my disbelief but some of it was just to much. The soundtrack also didn't fit in a couple spotsThis movie could have been a lot better if there weren't so many what in the hell moments. I understand that it's a movie and I need to suspend my disbelief but some of it was just to much. The soundtrack also didn't fit in a couple spots either. One thing that deserves credit is the acting was actually pretty good. Usually horror movies are not packed with actors that make you go wow, but this one was actually very respectable. Overall the movie isn't anything great but it a lot better then some.

Leave it to Michael Bay to deliver an unconscionably distasteful thriller that doesn't even feign coherence. This is most certainly a ride you'd rather miss.

I haven't seen the original, therefore I cannot compare them but this remake evidently by the date on which it was made and released it's quite clear under what rules of horror plays they and are so stunningly predictable and boring and itI haven't seen the original, therefore I cannot compare them but this remake evidently by the date on which it was made and released it's quite clear under what rules of horror plays they and are so stunningly predictable and boring and it lacks of real horror and real suspense, even for those who consume a lot of this genre, this film is nothing more than other from the bunch.… Expand
