Review of Highwaymen

Highwaymen (2004)
3/10
Disappointing
26 August 2004
I saw the trailer in the theater and was really looking forward to seeing this movie. However, after seeing it I'm really disappointed.

I think the 2 main things that disappointed me about the movie: continuity and lack of a back story.

There are too many points in the story where something is there one minute and not the next. And there are even some instances where you're left saying "oh come on!" Example: when the traffic officer goes to chase after Cray and the maniac and ends up getting his car stuck in a ditch...lame.

Flashbacks of Molly's childhood should have been included to explain what had happened to her and her parents year ago. We see a scar on her back but no real explanation of what happened.

This really could have been a great movie with a better script. I think Jim and Rhona did the best they could with what they had to work with, but it just would have been that much better with a stronger script.
