Rutger Hauer knocks it out of the park as an enigmatic psychopathic hitchhiker. The entensity is high out of the gate, and barely lets up throughout. The screenplay was written by Eric Red, a frequent collaborator with Kathryn Bigelow, who helped write Near Dark, Blue Steel, and Undertow. It's simple, but relentless and effective, much like its antagonist.
