Amazon.co.uk Review

Jake Busey steps into Rutger Hauer's cowboy boots to remind viewers about the dangers of picking up hitchhikers in this sequel to the 1986 thriller. Though suggested, it's unclear whether Busey's black-clad hitcher is actually supposed to be Hauer, who blackmailed teen driver Jim (C. Thomas Howell) for a series of killing 17 years earlier, but he makes life miserable all the same for the grown Jim (Howell again), now an trauma-plagued cop, and his girlfriend (Kari Wuhrer) as they drive through Texas (played here by Canada, and well photographed by George Mooradian). But where the original Hitcher was a taut exercise in suspense, executive producer Charles Meeker's script is simply a retread of its predecessor's highlights, including the infamous "drawn and quartered" scene, and gives the three leads little to do. Busey tries hard, but lacks Hauer's formidable presence, which may disappoint fans of the original; undemanding frightfest aficionados might enjoy this best. --Paul Gaita


Synopsis

In this sequel to The Hitcher, C. Thomas Howell reprises his role as Jim, the young man terrorized by Rutger Hauer's hitchhiker in the original. The Hitcher 2 takes place years later, with Jim still haunted by his memories of the experience. When he and his girlfriend Maggie (Wuhrer) decide to take a road trip, Jim's worst nightmares come true again after they pick up another hitchhiker (Busey) who turns out to be a psychopath.

1.0 out of 5 stars Hitcher2 I've NOTbeenwaiting!!!, 9 Feb 2004
By glynn bond (derby, derbyshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
The first film starring Rutger Hauer was and is a classic and if you're expecting the same boy will you be disapointed! Why oh why c Thomas Howell agreed to be in this is a mystery! The plot shambles and the acting wooden... I know this was straight to video/dvd but i was expecting better! Stick with the original or if like me you just had to cure your curiosity i look foward to reading your disapointing reviews aswell! Forget the popcorn and more importantly forget this film i thank you!

1.0 out of 5 stars Oh Dear!, 7 Mar 2004
The original film is one of my all-time favourites - great cinematography, great soundtrack, great dialogue, and two great lead performances. Hauer all understated menace and Howell all terrified bewilderment. The sequel unfortunately has none of these. The heroine must be a former marine judging by the way she handles herself and is constantly required to remove her shirt, while the new hitcher is all wise cracks and bad acting. The few people involved in the original who were part of this sequel should hang their heads in shame.

1.0 out of 5 stars Not at all like the first, 24 Jan 2004
If you are expecting the first film remade with the main character then this is not for you. Although Thomas C Howell was in the first film fending of the Hitcher He bearly lasts 20 mintues in this sequel. A very disappointing film nothing new instead just stick with the orginal Hitcher as it is a brillant film.
