Masterful Cinema

It's complicated... I really like the directing, acting and writing but, there are issues with the way it's shot that I just can't deny. As much as I love the storytelling and the fantastic performance but, there are also certain scenes that didn't need to exist.

This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

I enjoy watching made-for-DVD movies, so I am often in a forgiving mood when they have various shortcomings. However, "The Pass" (a.k.a. "Highway Hitcher") has moments that are so silly or so dumb that even I can't generate much enthusiasm. The movie is poorly paced - it takes more than half of the movie before the protagonist finds himself in serious danger. And the second half of the movie contains some of the most ludicrous plot developments I have seen in a long time. Among other things, the evil scheme of the antagonists depends on the protagonist doing exactly the right things that well couldn't be anticipated with confidence. Then there are things like someone changing into a cop's uniform in a few seconds, a corpse's eyes moving, and someone dropping a gun yet is shown still holding the gun in the very next shot! The talented cast tries, but can do nothing with the dumb script and direction.

What is it that this movie is rated? A 4.2 or something like that? No way! It should be rated about a 6.5 or so. I gave it a 7.0 This movie is well done with professional actors and good production values.It is not clichéd and has several surprises.Good music, good suspenseful atmosphere. How could it be rated a 4.2? That tells me it is not worth watching. But this movie is definitely worth watching.I ain't it saying it is the second coming of the Godfather or anything like that.But a solid movie worth watching.

This movie is terrible, it was just really dull and i don't blame the actors for being so bad in it 'cause the script was awful, so much talent wasted - james le gros,william forsyth, jamie kennedy - the film was gut wrenchingly rubbish. I'm glad jamie kennedy was hardly in it because it enraged me to see such a talented young actor in this dross.

I can't see this movie's point. I mean... the story is terrible, the acting ridiculous and the direction very, very lame. So I can't see how did the writer and director wanted to convince us that this movie was good. If they tried to make something scary they failedMy Rating: As I can't give it a 0 I give it a 1.
