Talk:The Hitcher (1986)/@comment-81.99.60.61-20180515033212

This is my favorite movie of the eighties, and Rutger Hauer my favorite actor of all time. This and Blade Runner were Rutger's finest movies, but he had some good stuff after, he just didn't get the recognition he deserved and still deserves. God knows why?

This showcases Mr Hauer's quirky, unique talent off to perfection, as he portrays the unhinged, psychopathic, deranged yet strangely seductive John Ryder, while he chases young and naive Jim Halsey (C Thomas Howell) across a vast, alluring, wild, and lonely desert.

It's a movie I return to again and again whenever I need an 80s movie fix, and a glimpse at a young, wild and in-his-prime Hauer. I rate this movie as 10/10.
