I WANT TO DIE
Now as re-makes go, when it comes to pretty much anything, I’m not usually a fan. Most of them fail to capture what made the original special, and usually resort to cheap tricks or rely on the name to get people to buy/watch/play them. The Hitcher is by no means an exception to this, as a remake it really is a knock off of the original but in saying that I don’t mean to imply that this isn’t the best movie in history. You have Sean Bean, a most awesome bad guys since the days of Goldeneye, kick ass car and chase scence and fantastic scenic panorama shots that really make this film shine.
I rally love this move that much that I bought the DVD last weekend, and then tonight I thought, fuck it, and went and got the blu-ray for good measure. My god what a difference. Blu-ray really is a generational leap in picture quality, just like DVD was to VHS. If you don’t beleive me you need to see for yourself. Pop a DVD in, even upscale it if you can, then put the Blu-ray version in. The difference smacks you in the face like a freight train. So much clearer, so much more detail, so much BETTER.
Buy Blu-Ray… NOW
