Highway

i don't know what everyone's complaining about, a funny movie with pretty people...works for me. but i think i know a bit...lots of people who watched this have seen two movies they think are great;

it won't give you spiritual awakenings like donnie darko, it's not as dramatic as requeim for a dream.

thankfully. somebody's even complaining about 'happy ending'...pfft.

i give it a seven just to promote a rare modern movie that doesn't make me puke with music video cuts and dramatic substance for once.

plus i can't recollect seeing a movie that would (even slightly) use the times of grunge as it's background.

Wow! this movie was so much better then i expected. i was walking down the aisle of the local video store and was intrigued by the cover. i had heard a little about it before but Highway was definitely worth the rental price.

For one, the acting was superb. Jared Leto is an extraordinary actor and all of them had wonderful timing with every thing they did. The story is what wont leave my mind. A bizarre, maybe metaphoric way of looking at the power of life and the search for love. Some times it takes a violent disturbing movie to make an impact because we live in a world that is so full of distractions.

I would recommend this movie to any one with an open mind that is willing to experience life through some one else's mind. 10/10

This is a well-acted and perfectly cast movie about a bunch of people on the outskirts of life whose mistakes carry them in the same direction: Seattle. You may not feel deeply enlightened when it's over, but you will have a bunch of laughs on the way. I don't know what happened to this film... it just slipped through the cracks and so everyone passes it off as uninteresting, but I rather thought it was one of those overlooked jewels you are glad to have discovered. The characters are eminently likable and have those appropriate, somewhat subdued emotional journeys that give the film it's real direction. Without a doubt worth the rent.

It starts off strange, then sucks, then gets good for a while, then alligator boy comes into the picture. I think Jake Glyllenhal is an awesome young talent, but he couldn't carry this. This movie was pretty well filmed and has some truly memorable scenes, but overall the dialogue was dumb and unbelievable. Also, the soundtrack should have consisted of songs from that time period instead of new punk stuff. Not horrible, but unfortunately pretty bad. 5.5/10

Look, this is a good flick. It is not a mind bender, it is not going to leave you questioning your own immortality, nor is it ever going to be a classic. It's just a good movie to watch. Leto is really good as "The God of Fu*k," (so funny) and Gyllenhaal is a great sidekick. Totally watchable, more than one time. Good flick to just chill out with at 2am.
