There are better movies of two hours length. I loved the actress'performance.

It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.

Unwarranted film is another reason sequels suck. What's worse is our leading man Howell dies in the middle, where sexy Wuhner is left to carry the movie off, no easy task given the material she has to work with. After Howell dies, while protecting girlfriend Wuhner, the movie sours. The story's just the same. A double whammy for Howell's character who made the mistake of picking up Hauer in the first. The movie's set fifteen years later. Howell mentions at the start that he's a cop to a little a boy, (this sounds so phoney and overdone) giving him reassurance, after saving him from a kidnapping, where at first Howell getting sloshed in the rain, has a dark look, you actually think he's the bad guy. His girlfriend owns an aerial spraying business, with Howell flying the planes. That terrible incident, who he's never mentioned to his girl, is still eating him up inside, and this has been affecting his police work. At the advice of old Captain Esteridge, after Howell seeks help from him, again overacted, thus not believable, him and Wuhner return to the territory where it happened to finally face his demons. They travel in one of their planes, commuting to a pick up spot to obtain a waiting car. There's a real nasty dust storm ahead. To Howell's disapproval, another standing figure, thumbing it, is picked by Wuhner, so you know what follows, madness, and mayhem, plus some real grisly violence if in respect to the violence in the original. As with so many unnecessary remakes of late, and some of it's sequels, this is a teaching tool to why films should stop at the original, or in the minority case where the sequels are good, they should draw the line at number two. The wacko they pick up is Busey, another one that overacts some, but it's relevant to his nutball character, that he puts energy and vim into it, giving a half creepy performance, but he's no Rutger. He does tend to get bloody annoying, but I'm glad he did this. Again what dampened this movie, and made me a dark sight angry, as being an avid fan of the first, was Howell's departure. He way overacts, another example having him, threatening Busey to get out of his vehicle, where he then tells Howell to seek psychiatric help. Even his girl, doesn't believe this hitchhiker's a psycho, where he's reliving this hell all over again, his death, may'be a better option to rid himself of this mental burden he's got. Howell too, seems to be playing a different character. Busey's such an over the top psycho, he even chops his finger off, putting the blame on Wuhner, that again has the cops thinking she's the baddie, filling Howell's shoes as it were in the original. Like the arid surrounds, this is what the film becomes. It's climax of Busey being pulled apart while strapped to a tanker is even foiled. Awful, hey. But so is the movie.

The Hitcher II: I've Been Waiting (2003)I Really enjoyed the first movie was very good and I going to shock you by saying (But first, I did see this movie few ago and I did not remember to much about it!, I think I only saw bits and Pisces of the movie back then) I also really enjoyed this sequel.I was expecting something really bad but I found this movie very entertaining from start to end of the movie, there is a lot of action in this movie.I liked how they made some connection to the first movie as well and bring back Jim from first movie was good but i really shocked what happens to him in this movie however that make feel a bit more of sequel then total re-harsh of the first movie.I felt really warm to lead actress in this movie, she annoyed me first but she got my support afterwards.The hitchhiker in this movie was not as good as guy in first movie, he did not seem as scary because he was just little to goofy at times.The ending wasn't too bad but the effect at the end was really poor!6 out of 10.

The continuing story of Jim Halsey. Only this time,his girlfriend gets involved.Its always a hit or miss with sophomore outings. It seems lately they have been less miss and more hit,or non miss. This movie is definitely a non miss. The writing,directing, and acting in this one definitely makes it worth your while to see this movie. And lets face it fellas,There is nothing more sexy than a hot,dirty,highly aggitated brunette with a gun!!Jake Busey drives both the Kenwoth big rig livestock truck and the Freightliner big rig tanker truck.Jake Busey is a very permanent A list actor.Kari Wuhrer and Marty Antonini both drive the Kenworth big rig livestock truck.Kari Wuhrer and Marty Antonini are permanent A list actors.Kari Wuhrer is smokin!!---One Truck Drivers Opinion---erldwgstruckermovies.com

Well, what can I say. I'll start by saying that this is the stupidest movie I have ever seen, and I don't know how anybody can even think about passing this movie as a professional film, to me the director probably thinks the audience is stupid or something because I just don't see how the girl is able to first of all, drive an 18 wheeler which happens to have the hardest manual transmission you can ever find, and the girl also happens to be able to fly an aircraft at a professional level, and after all this, she doesn't use that "supposely" huge brain to don't fall into every ridiculous things the guy does to her, not even a little kid would do the stupid crap she does.This movie gives the perfect example of what not to do if you ever find your self in this situation.
