Set in 1964, He Went That Way is a taut thriller based on a true crime story that puts a wicked spin on the buddy road trip film. The film follows 19-year-old serial killer Bobby (Jacob Elordi) as he is picked up by a celebrity animal handler, Jim (Zachary Quinto), on a desolate stretch of Route 66 with priceless cargo in tow: Jim's chimpanzee, Spanky, an American TV darling. As stress between Bobby and Jim rises and their fiery personalities combust, the road only becomes more treacherous the farther they go.

Bizarre subplots and thin performances blunt the impact...

Few things in this laboriously quirky picture mesh at all.

He Went That Way looks like a cinematographer’s movie. Every scene, even the ones without Elordi, looks like a million bucks, with that smoky, creamy look of a thousand retro motels.

Rated: 7.5/10

FilmWeek (KPCC - NPR Los Angeles)

What an odd, dumb, dull, strange, violent, nonsensical villainous road trip movie this is.

Willamette Week

Darling injects some visual style into He Went That Way, but the script by Evan M. Wiener feels made up of spare parts from the Coen Brothers’ films (despite this project being based on a true story and a book).

Rated: 2/4

When you got an unpredictable mental unstable serial killer as the main character of a movie you will always have an interesting decent watch to say the least.

I really wanted to like this but the characters never develop and it’s boring at best. Don’t even get me started on Spanky lol. You might stick with it for the trip down Route 66 because the cinematography is amazing.

Jacob Elordi owns the screen as a James Dean-type rebel/outcast/criminal! Understated performance by Zachary Quinto is excellent too! Enjoyed the ride on Route 66!
