For anyone tracking down this piece of cult cinema history, Highway offers a wild, fast-paced, and wildly entertaining ride. It stands as a testament to a time when future Hollywood heavyweights could get together, dye their hair, grow out dreadlocks, and make a weird, beautiful movie about hitting the open road.
"Highway" is a film that has garnered a mixed but mostly positive reputation over the years. It currently holds a 6.1/10 rating on IMDb, suggesting it is an enjoyable watch for many viewers but not a masterpiece. Many fans and critics agree that the film's plot is thin and its characters can be unsympathetic. However, the film's strengths are often cited as its fast pace, its authentic and nostalgic portrayal of the mid-90s, its memorable, off-beat dialogue, and, most importantly, the electric chemistry between Leto and Gyllenhaal.
