Customer Reviews of Highway
Not likable, but still recommended. Highway (James Cox, 2002)
There are any number of reasons to watch James Cox's first feature film, Highway (not least of which because Cox directed one of 2003's most talked-about and controversial films, Wonderland). It's hard to say the film itself is one of them, oddly enough.
It centers around two stoned-out buddies, Pilot (the always wonderful Jake Gyllenhaal) and Jack (Jared Leto, looking for all the world like Charlie Sheen in Repo Man here). Jack, the womanizer, has found himself in bed with the wrong woman, the trophy wife of a mob boss, and needs to get out of Las Vegas. He and Pilot head for Seattle after one of the most surreal drug buys in all of film (the dealer played by Jeremy Piven, recently seen in Black Hawk Down and Very Bad Things, deserves a film all to himself). Along the way, they find themselves repeatedly entangled with a homeless runaway (Selma Blair) and an old hippie trying to get to Seattle for the Kurt Cobain vigil (John C. McGinley). The stage is set, and the movie makes its Easy Rider-esque way through the West.
The main reason to see this movie is that Jake Gyllenhaal and Jared Leto are fantastic actors. Blair (soon to be in the much-hyped Hellboy) and McGinley make great foils for the two. I'd be hard-pressed to call this a comedy, but it does have its share of uncomfortably funny lines. It ends up, however, being (as odd as this sounds) a lighthearted tale about the myriad ways in which one's dreams can be shattered.
Did I like it? I still haven't figured that out. Would I recommend it? Without hesitation. *** ½
Confused, and tries too hard.
Solid performance once again by Jake Gyllenhaal, unfortunately the movie tries way too hard to be hard-hitting and meaningfully deep, and ends up instead coming off as overly pretentious and empty.
Everything is set to impress the youth of today with extreme coolness, ecstacy, weed, acid, crime and plenty swearing. ...and don't forget about the alligator-boy!??????? I wish I could. (bad bad bad) Anyone who grew up during this period will find blatant inconsistencies.
The movie is, for the majority, set soon before and immediately after the death of Kurt Cobain, yet includes none of Nirvana's music in the soundtrack - it is instead provided by one of the members of the Black Crowes, and is pretty decent.
An early 90's Nostalgia / Road trip movie about a couple of Hunter S. Thompson-esque characters which essentially relies on Leto and Gyllenhaal to keep you watching until the end.
John C. McGinley gives an 'interesting' performance as Johnny the Fox.
I would definately strongly recommend hiring instead of buying this movie, if you feel you just have to see it.
Jared Leto is a total babe
Jack (Jared Leto) is shown in his full physical glory. For those of you that saw him in Requiem and wanted to see more skin - this movie will please you immensely.
OK, so I'm saying buy this movie to see Jared Leto bump & grind away in the buff. I think that's hell of a reason.
Jared, if you're out there - you are one hotty!
