The Hitcher
1986

Director: Robert Harmon
Cast: Rutger Hauer, C. Thomas Howell, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Jeffrey DeMunn

This overrated thriller about a murderous hitchhiker starts well, but it becomes illogical and extremely annoying very quickly. Rutger Hauer is amusing in the title role, but then again, he could play this role with his eyes closed.
