This could be a great movie if wasn't for a strict fact: there are a lot of clichés here. Now I understand why this movie spent so few weeks on big screen and then released directly to home video after that. I have to admit that there is a slice of something good in here and I like Rhona Mitra, she is a good and gorgeous actress. The movie starts well, but when Molly gets in her friend's car and tells her to "go slowly because she is not in the mood for speed", this sentence is something so predictable as the entire movie. And that is something sad, very sad. I could just feel my bad humor taking over me, just waiting for the clichés of the clichés. And I was totally right. Everything you've been seeing for 20 years in theaters since road movies came to life is here, but as its worst way: just all the bad habits of these kind of movies. The movie starts with a psychological trauma (cliché number 1), then comes Molly with that sad sentence (cliché number 2), then you meet the bad guy, someone physically injured in the past (cliché number 3) probably by its present object of affection (4). So, you meet the policeman (5), he pretends to be funny (6), but he's not just because his weak dialogs are as weak as the actor. He's a black man (7), he's bearded (8), he's unhappy (9), his life is completely mediocre (10) and he's always searching for something big to happen (11), but he doesn't know it yet (12). The good guy... this is the greatest part for me because he's is the perfect traumatized good guy. He is searching for the killer for centuries (13), he knows everything about the killer's habits even not knowing him (14)... and when I mean "everything" is EVERYTHING (15): the way he thinks (16), the way he acts (17), even why the killer uses to travel for some special place during some time of the year (18), his favorite food and the places he uses to go. The funny thing is that even knowing everything and a little more, the good guy NEVER catches the bad guy and we never know why. Of course the killer finally gets the good boobed girl (19) and leaves some intentional traces behind (20), and... oh, my god, with also a key of an intentional place (21). Believe me or not, the killer's waiting for the good guy at the place where he murdered the good guy's wife! (22) Well, you know... the killer is trying to mean that "HA HA HA, I'VE GOT YOU ONCE AND I WILL GET YOU TWICE!" (23). The killer dresses the girl with the same dress the good guy's wife was using when she was killed (24). The girl survives (25), the policeman appears when everyone needs him (26), the bad guy is killed (27). Of course the bad guy still have his dying breath (28) but then the policeman says something as so impactant as a kick in the teeth (29) and then blows the killer's head with a shot (30). The movie ends (31). Sound great and entertaining, doesn't it? Of course I can't remember all other clichés, but I guess that 31 is a good number for you to give up seeing this crap. And of course the movie ends with a question on your head: How can a so injured man as the killer have so much strength to places that so heavy girl everywhere he wants??? And this is the cliché number 32. I love you Rhona, you are great but this is a sh*t.

First off, with the creator of "THE HITCHER", I was hoping for a real thriller, a joy ride of some suspense intensely centered around some real scenes of action and personal pain with what people go through in these situations. But all I was left with was watching a very predictable film with unrealistic and comical deliveries of farce. I found myself laughing at some of the hit and run scenes. Honestly I thought that when professionals created movies their would be a sense of wonder and amazement instead of quick and eye-rolling stupidity. I think the next time they let the same writer and director match up and do another movie they should just call it "TRASH". HIGHWAYMEN, all i can say is, "take the bus".

James 'Rennie' Cray (Jim Caviezel) is a man who has been chasing the psychopath Fargo (Colm Feore) for years. Fargo kills lonely women in roads, and Rennie's beloved wife was one of his victims. When the traumatized Molly (Rhone Mitra) escapes from Fargo in a tunnel, Rennie uses her as bait to attract Fargo and eliminate him. "Highwaymen" is a movie with great action scenes, but also having an imbecile, incredible and full of clichés story. Indeed it is a movie of stunts, which wastes the good actors Jim Caviezel and Colm Feore. It is very impressive the scene, in the beginning of the story, when Fargo runs over Rennie's wife. I found amazing the resemblance between the actress Rhona Mitra and Sandra Bullock. Therefore, "Highwaymen" is a forgettable movie, indicated for killing time only. My vote is five. Title (Brazil): "Velozes e Mortais" ("Fast and Mortals")

I usually check IMDB before I go see a movie but I went to see this one on the strength of a good newspaper review. Big mistake. This movie starts badly and gets worse. There are so many plot-holes I don't know where to begin. It's just silly. And the acting! Calling it wooden is an insult to wood. It's so bad I spent the time trying to spot the movies it copied. They're all there - Christine, Terminator, Mad Max, Fast & Furious - it's like the director took the worst bits of each and then tried to combine them in the worst possible way. Memo to myself: always check IMDB before spending money on a movie and never, never trust newspaper reviews.

I just saw Highwaymen here in Texas, and let me tell you all, this movie is worth the ticket. The movie is quite different than any other movie I have seen, except for Wheels of Terror, which has basically the same plot as this one instead the car was the one doing the killings. This movie grabs your attention from the get-go and does not let you come back down from the adrenaline ride you are witnessing. This movie is very good, and I recommend it to anyone who likes suspense/thrillers to watch it if you get the chance. Jim Caviezel and Rhona Mitra are spectacular in their roles in this film. The basic plot of the movie is that Jim Caviezel's character's wife gets struck down by the killer who drives a Cadillac El Dorado and goes around major highways killing women with his car. I dont want to give away too much but this movie is worth every penny. Definitely buying it on DVD as soon as it comes out. Too bad it was only released in Texas and Louisiana. I give it 5 stars, since it has all the elements of a great movie.

I watched it on video, and i was happy that it only took 80 something minutes for this very very low budget movie to finish. The story never takes off and the whole movie was so predictable that it was almost funny. Woman gets an ice-cream , wears a red dress , get run over by a car. Husband gets mad , gets after the killer , but don't succeed to kill him. And of course he gets a second chance, in the end another woman in the same dress almost gets killed but our hero saves her life of course. Thats the whole stupid movie. I even don't want to get in the details cause thats a waste of time to. Awful simple and very bad filmed
