Nice if a little dated - The Hitcher review by CP Customer
On reflection the story line of this 1980's thriller is very thin but it actually clips along at a decent pace and only drags in the last 15 minutes or so. Decent performances by all parties and although somewhat dated provides an acceptable hour or so of entertainment.
