The Hitcher

THE HITCHER (2007) - Jan. 18, 2007
Someone needs to murder Michael Bay. He's a terrible director, and as this film confirms, a terrible producer. He stinks. This movie was competently made, but it was silly and tedious and only sporadically entertaining. About a couple who, while traveling across the country, pick up a hitchhiker who proceeds to terrorize them in increasingly ludicrous ways. The film's one bright spot is Sean Bean, who gives a gleefully sinister performance, and who livens up the movie whenever he's on the screen. That's about it, though. *1/2
