Highway to Hell Audience Reviews

Fluentiama Perfect cast and a good story
CommentsXp Best movie ever!
Helllins It is both painfully honest and laugh-out-loud funny at the same time.
Quiet Muffin This movie tries so hard to be funny, yet it falls flat every time. Just another example of recycled ideas repackaged with women in an attempt to appeal to a certain audience.
wesbuldg Highway through hell is one of the the only actual real reality shows on TV today. I've been on these highways and I can attest that the locations are real. I've seen the terrible accidents and I've witnessed the very same heavy rescue teams do their work. The participants are not actors. They real people doing a real job in the toughest of conditions. The producers and the participants are willing to show the emotions brought forth from the job both good and sad. They are also willing to show the successes and the failures with nothing held back. Most reality shows on TV today are a bunch of bunk filled with unrealistic and untruthful actors and situations and for the most part are very offensive to anybody with half a brain. But not Highway through Hell, it brings an actual human element to the viewer and keeps one coming back from episode to episode. For me, it's one of my favorite things to watch on TV today. However there are a few drawbacks. Firstly... The producers don't seem to understand that if a show is worthy and exciting enough and property produced to keep the viewer coming back from episode to episode the last thing you need is inappropriate irritating music in attempt to create excitement. I find it aggravating very distracting and lowers it down to the other unrealistic reality shows slightly. The show is exciting enough without it. Secondly... The constant chatter in the background from CB radios that seems to be coming more and more often as the episodes move on is also distractive irritating and cheapens down what my opinion could be an almost perfect show. If it's the producers attempt to explain what's going on the show that to is offensive and a slap against the viewers intelligence. Believe me the show is produced and interesting enough to leak even to a novice it's quite obvious what's happening without somebody in the background interfering in the show. Furthermore I can't say for sure but it seems to me that there's only two or three voices not a bunch of different truckers. On that I may be wrong however but regardless believe me it's not needed. Overall good job folks keep going.
Scott LeBrun Chad Lowe and Kristy Swanson play Charlie and Rachel, a young couple who've hit the road to Vegas in order to elope. Despite the warnings of grizzled desert gas station owner Sam (Richard Farnsworth), they manage to fall prey to a character known as The Hellcop (C. J. Graham). The evil lawman abducts Rachel and takes her to Hell; Charlie learns from Sam that he has a limited amount of time in which to rescue his bride-to-be. Receving assistance from a man named "Beezle" (Patrick Bergin), and befriended by Beezles' young charge Adam (Jarrett Lennon), Charlie is plunged into a variety of weird environments and encounters.Directed by Dutch filmmaker Ate de Jong ("A Flight of Rainbirds", "Drop Dead Fred"), this cult comedy isn't terribly funny overall, and the story, conceived by Brian Helgeland ("L. A. Confidential", "Payback") is pretty conventional. This derives most of its modest amusement from incidental moments and gags, not to mention some delicious cameos (which I won't spoil here). Overall, "Highway to Hell" (it seems like a no-brainer that we'd have the AC/DC song on the soundtrack, but we don't) is just quirky enough to make it a decent watch, and is graced with a good forward pace and respectable amount of energy. It's also got a groovy rock score by the group Hidden Faces.The lovely and appealing Swanson and the likable, earnest Lowe are good as the couple at the centre of the tale, while Bergin definitely elevates the proceedings with his charismatic performance as a dapper, engaging version of Satan. Graham, who "Friday the 13th" franchise fans know as their favourite hockey masked killer in Part VI of that series, has a solid screen presence as the mute villain. Farnsworth is as delightful as he's ever been, and the movie likewise benefits from his brief screen time.Worth a look for people looking for something a little different.Six out of 10.
Matt Kracht I think I saw this movie for the first time on USA Up All Night, because it totally seems like the sort of thing they'd have played. It's a bit cheesy and campy, but if you like that sort of thing, then you'll probably love it. It seamlessly blends elements from many varied genres into a quirky comedy-fantasy, though I think maybe some people were a bit confused or put off by the lack of clearly defined genre conventions. In some ways, it's similar to Army of Darkness, though it lacks many of the over-the-top gags and one-liners of that movie.If you're a fan of Brian Helgeland, you really owe it to yourself to check this out. It's one of my favorites of his, though I suspect he'd probably prefer that we just forgot about his early work (Nightmare on Elm Street 4, 976-EVIL, Highway to Hell) and concentrate rather on his Academy Award-nominated work, such as Mystic River. Anyways, the story is about a kid who has to rescue his girlfriend, after she's abducted by the Hell Cop (Friday the 13th Part VI's C.J. Graham), who takes her to hell. So, right away you've got an actor who played Jason Vorhees and the writer of Nightmare on Elm Street 4. If that's not enough to sell you on this movie, I'm not really sure what else to say, except that Gilbert Gottfried plays Hitler, in a brief cameo. The movie plays out as part road trip through Hell, part comedy, and part thriller. The parts in Hell are creative, imagining it as a mirror image of our world, except somewhat more bizarre and surreal, like something from Mad Max, complete with biker gangs and vast expanses of blasted wasteland (probably Death Valley).Come to think of it, maybe the reason why I like this movie so much is because it combines Mad Max with Army of Darkness. If that concept appeals to you, I can't recommend this highly enough. If, on the other hand, you're thinking that it sounds ridiculous, maybe it's best that you don't waste your time, as it seems that this movie isn't really beloved by all. Perhaps it's a bit too quirky.I think that if it were given a chance, it could easily develop into a cult favorite.
Jeffrey Dougal I saw this movie a long time ago. It's hard to find. But, I remember that I liked it a lot, and would like to see it again. Please release on DVD! So many movies these days don't stick in your mind after you see them. I saw this a long time ago, and I still remember that it was a good film. I wish there were more films like it.I suppose that I could buy it on VHS, but I keep waiting for it to come out on DVD.There's really nothing more I want to say, but I guess I have to write a few more linesSo, here they are.
