James Cray (Jim Caviezel) watched as his wife was killed by Fargo (Colm Feore), a hit-and-run serial murderer. After severely injuring Fargo and going to prison for several years, James is now determined to avenge his wife's death. He drives across the country looking for Fargo's 1972 Cadillac Eldorado, which the now-disabled killer has turned into a rolling death trap. James' search is helped by a state traffic officer (Frankie Faison) and a singer (Rhona Mitra) with her own agenda.

Both the well-choreographed crash scenes and the gritty cinematography hint at a better film. Shame no-one took the time to make it.

Rated: 2/5

As car wrecks go, Highwaymen is a five-lane pileup on the freeway to hell.

Austin Chronicle

Lacks the sprawling, Westernized mythos of The Hitcher and feels, in the end, like a previously owned nightmare sorely in need of a new universal hell joint.

Personagens detestveis em um filme medocre que ainda conta com uma concluso moralmente desprezvel. Uma experincia to ruim quanto ser atropelado - talvez pior.

There are pieces of a good movie here, but everything feels really rushed with no time to develop any of it.

The film is an easy watch. With the same director as The Hitcher, and a similarly horror car-centric film, this is perfect for anyone that wants to see more.

An intense drama that will keep you interested from the opening scene to the very end. ''Highwaymen'' delivers!

Okay, let's get something straight, when I watch a film in this type of genre I like to think there's going to be some sort of realism. But when a car is shunted fro behind and the car weighs prbablt a ton it doesn'r fly 20 fet into the air, it's logitically impossible. Noe I see this type of stunt where the director thinks we the audience are morons but in reality we aern't. That is when the film devalues itself and I stop watching. Bye, bye.

Highly underrated car chase movie. Unfortunately the cut released to theaters was cut down from 125 minutes. What remains on screen is 80 minutes of high jolt car chase thrills and decent performances from a game cast. If only New Line had fully backed the director on this one. Still a great fast paced cult classic!
