Perry Kate Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Edwin The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.

Staci Frederick Blistering performances.

Jason Daniel Baker It is apparent that uptight and straitlaced salesman Jack (Henriksen) has stolen a briefcase of mob money from a Las Vegas casino and is hurriedly on the run to California behind the wheel of his company car. Beneath the facade of his business-like grace is the dark secret.A feculent, verbose and irritating hitch-hiker by the name of Adrian (Roberts) stalks him and just won't leave him alone. It is far from luck of the draw that Adrian, a lurking spirit of decadent evil has found Jack on the long ride home and he is insistent they have a killer weekend together. The whole truth of crimes of the past haunts each of them in their summit of criminal minds.Adrian enjoys making Jack feel uncomfortable and finds it pretty easy to do given that Jack is nobody's fool and appears to suspect him of being a particularly gruesome serial killer from the Most Wanted List who is loose in the area murdering people in cold blood. Whats more is the raggedy man doesn't deny it or a penchant for brutality. But he knows what Jack did and threatens to call the cops on him if Jack continues to avoid him or tries to ignore him subjecting him to what turns out to be the sensation of bittersweet purgatory.This odd couple of lonely hearts on the road in what is a form of buddy movie are nevertheless nothing like Bob Hope and Bing Crosby as they are more like demonic aliens. The intensity of their interactions suggests a great deal more is at play. Of course the hard truth IS a great deal more at play and each moment they spend together brings the audience closer to the rude awakening that things are kind of what they seem to be but also kind of NOT what they seem to be.A grave confrontation awaits as, left without options, there is only one way out to reconciling the deep terror of their differences at the end of their voyage.Eric Roberts never ceased being an electrifying performer from the beginning of his cinematic career in the 1970s. But difficulties with drugs and occasional expressions of violence curbed some of the success the southern gentleman might otherwise have had in his career resulting in a dead end near the early 1990s. The quirkiness of his characterizations show a complete lack of fear when improvising.Lance Henriksen remains the intriguing character actor who consistently steals scenes in supporting roles and can often play the lead. Like Roberts his attitude and charisma assert themselves behind the warped ethos and phony persona his character exudes.

wes-connors "Eric Roberts and Lance Henriksen star in this intense psychological thriller about a businessman drawn into a bloody game of cat and mouse by a mysterious drifter. With the police searching for a serial killer on a murderous rampage, and a million dollars missing from a Las Vegas casino, both men have something sinister to hide. But as the lies are peeled away and their true nature is revealed, it becomes clear that one of them is a madman. The question is which one…" asks the DVD sleeve description.Writer/director Victor Salva makes it like a psycho on wheels, with plenty of gay subtext. Picture "The Hitcher" with both driver and passenger playing psychopaths. Devilishly charismatic Mr. Roberts (as Adrian) was born to play this role, and a psychologically bent Mr. Henriksen (as Jack) matches him at most every turn. The production is inexpensive but effective; it keeps you either interested or riveted, but fails, in the end, to tie its interesting threads together. And, Henriksen's girth was unnecessary.******* The Nature of the Beast (10/24/95) Victor Salva ~ Lance Henriksen, Eric Roberts, Brion James, Sasha Jenson

MrGKB ...provides a tolerable waste of time, particularly to fans of Lance Henricksen and/or Eric Roberts. In a nutshell, there's a psycho on the loose in the American southwest, and as luck would have it, he crosses paths with a guy who's ripped off a casino for a million dollars or so. One thing leads to another, and the fun is all in watching how it plays out, thanks to consistent work on the part of Henricksen and Roberts. Even the ubiquitous Lin Shaye gets in on the action, along with a cameo appearance from Brion James, who is most distressingly looking every bit of his age.There are a few "Oh, c'mons!" in the script, and Henricksen's "fat roll" is a little too obviously fake, but by and large this little drama unfolds in a reasonably satisfying (if not overly believable) manner, much like its obviously inspirational predecessors, "Prey," and "The Hitcher." There are no great surprises in store, including the twist ending, but the production values are high, especially the cinematography by Levie "Malcolm in the Middle" Isaacks, and some moody scoring by Bennett "Jeepers Creepers" Salvay."You can't kill the Devil, Jack," but it's always fun when someone tries.

whpratt1 Just knew the moment that this picture start out with a BBQ sign and a car that seemed to move back and forth, like love making was going on inside, this was going to be a wild film to watch and enjoy. Eric Roberts,"Break a Leg",'05, had some real mental problems and was driving up and down a highway, from one diner, motel and vehicle he could find available. However, Eric decides to latch onto Lance Henriksen, "Dream Warrior",'04, who looked like a nice easy mark to latch onto and pester to death, which he did very well through out the picture. There are murders going on left and right and a person who has a million bucks he was able to steal from a casino. There are many twists and turns during the picture and the ending will shock you completely. There is even a Bible quotation from a prophet at the ending.
