his movie really feels more like a sequel than a
"re-make". It uses the hitchhiker aspect of the original and that is
about it. Not to say that it was a bad movie, but one scene doesn't
make it a remake.
TCM 2003 Doesn't waste time, it starts out with a bang and
keeps your eyes glued to the screen for the rest of the film. When I
saw this movie in the theaters, I think I only blinked once, which is
strange because I have viscous ADHD. The opening opens like a snuff
film, and I really dug that.
The acting was superb, Erica Leerhsen (Pepper) has to be
one the greatest screamer on this side of Jamie Lee Curtis. Her
scream will make your blood boil, and that seems to be rare nowadays.
Although I would have to say that the best performance goes to R. Lee
Ermey (Sheriff Hoyt) who was all balls to the wall. I have never
loved a charter like I love his. From his one-liners to his overall
body language he defiantly brings this movie to a much needed high.
Jessica Biel (Erin) was a lot more than I had expected, she nailed all of
the emotions and is sexy as hell in a tight white t-shirt.
I was very pleased with the "remake" but I still feels
like a sequel to me. It is a great movie and you should see it!
