The Sugarland Express

THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS (1974) - June 12, 2005
A well made but somewhat slow-paced early film by Steven Spielberg. About a young couple who kidnap a cop and set out across the country to get their child. At 110 minutes, the movie feels a bit on the long side, exacerbated by the fact that it is essentially plotless. In fact this feels more like a later Spielberg effort than something out of his prime, as it is overlong and a little pointless (which is surprising given that this is his first theatrical film). **1/2
