Jim Caviezel is one of Hollywood's most underrated & undervalued stars, he's great to excellent in pretty much anything!!!
I love him in Unknown, Deja Vu, Long Weekend, Transit, Highwaymen & Outlander best, but he has done lots more cool stuff.
Caviezel is excellent in this lean mean road slasher, serial killer thriller that has hints of Mad Max, Duel, Breakdown, Joy Ride aka: Road Kill & of course, the directors own 80's cult classic The Hitcher. I actually like his Highwaymen more than his Hitcher, but that's my opinion.
Tarantino tried to do this type of road serial killer flick his Death Proof, but it wasn't very good at all & Highwaymen drove all over it.
Jim Caviezel plays a man haunted by his past, his wife was run down in the road by a serial killer that uses his car as his murder weapon. Caviezel gives a very weary & obsessive performance that comes through in his hurt eyes. Caviezel plays Rennie Cray & has been tracking the car killer for years & has a backstory full of vengeance that goes right back to that tragic day his wife was brutally murdered. Caviezel plays a hurt, jaded hero very well & comes across like a modern day Mad Max & he's so cool. Caviezel is on the hunt for vengeance & will not be stopped by anyone.
Thr supporting cast are excellent with Rhona Mitra as the car killer's next potential victim, Mitra is a damn good actress & very underrated in my opinion, she's excellent in Doomsday. Caviezel teams up with Mitra's terrified Molly to lure out the road killer played by a seriously demented Colm Feore as Fargo.
Fargo is a sadistic sicko serial killer that is so badly damaged by car accidents that he's lost most of his limbs & is made-up of mechanical parts, prosthetics, straps & harnesses to keep him going. His body & car are now one & his uses his car as an extension of his body- he's a killing machine.
The other great character of this suspenseful cat-and-mouse road thriller is a crash investigator played brilliantly by Frankie Faison, a character actor that has turned up in many awesome films & is a scene stealer here.
The cinematography is gorgeous, dusty back roads & lonely highways are the setting for this road warrior gem of a thriller, & there's a sharp gritty look that helps with the brutal car smash sequences.
Highwaymen is a good, cat-&-mouse chase thriller with a group of excellent actors & top notch performances.
