Movie Reviews of Highway
Movie Review: On the Road with Pilot Kelson is a real kick
Summary: 5 Stars
I loved, loved, loved this little movie. It is my "Breakfast Club" of the 2000's. There was such great chemistry between Leto & Gyllenhaal & also between Selma & Jared as well. I can not believe I missed this straight to DVD film from 2002. I confess I only wanted to see it because I am a big fan of both of the main actors & had heard from a few other Jake fans that it was very good. Well, it was definitely worth every penny to purchase it as it is one I can watch over & over again like The Breakfast Club. Pilot Kelson, (Gyllenhaal) & Jack Hayes (Leto) take off on a crazy road trip from Vegas to Seattle to try to escape some crime lord's goons that are sent to break Jack's feet for boning his wife. Set in '94, with a great soundtrack full of excellent punk rock, the goons follow them up to Seattle and what mostly ensues is their drug addled antics that are often more poignant than funny. The clever, ever philosophical Pilot with a heart of gold manipulates Jack into going to Seattle for only one reason, to find his fantasy girl from the night of graduation. Jeremy Piven has a cameo that is a riot & John McGinley totally delivers as a wild, older dreadlock wearing stoner they pick up on their trip. A major word of warning, this movie is not for young teens as it does not have any teaching moments about drugs being bad for you & actually almost glorifies being a dealer. So that said, if you are an adult with an open mind that does not find drugs offensive, I highly recommend it.
One thing I want to say about the DVD itself is it did not have ANY extras at all, no deleted scenes or gagreel which I missed very much. Knowing how much of a cut up Gyllenhaal can be on set, I would think there would have been a lot of footage they could have included for bloopers.
Summary of Highway
In Highway, Jack (Jared Leto) ks a Gen-Xer with nowhere to go until he gets caught in bed with a mobster's woman. Now, with three thugs after him, he and best pal Pilot (Jake Gyllenhaal) hit the road to Seattle. Along the way, they encounter sexy Cassie (Selma Blair), who decides to hitch a ride. Together they end up on the wildest trip of their lives. Told against the raw grunge music backdrop of the mid-'90s, Highway confronts life, death, and love head-on to remind us that the road goes in many directions, but where it takes us tomorrow depends on the lessons learned today.Similar DVD Movies
