A fairly interesting, but somewhat muddled, road movie starring Newman as an ex-cop who now drives cars from Denver to San Francisco for a living.
03/28/07
The woodenness of both direction and Newman's performance becomes increasingly apparent.
01/26/06
A movie about which I can think of almost nothing good to say.
05/09/05
The action is almost entirely made up of one man driving a car at maximum speed from Denver to, hopefully, San Francisco.
05/06/08
A beguiling, if silly pleasure.
05/24/03
The last quarter of Grindhouse was little more than a love note to this flick’s towering excellence.
05/24/07
A cult classic.

Really nothing but a one hundred minute car chase across country, and I loved every minute of it...
07/10/07
should be seen as a particularly charged variant of a now extinct genre: the artsy B-movie

Takes full advantage of the subject's existential and mythical undertones without being pretentious, and you certainly get a run for your money, along with a lot of rock music.

Top CriticMerged the appeal of Bullitt with that of, say, Zabriskie Point...fast cars and dusty existentialism. [Blu-ray]
03/13/09
In a time when vacant retreads such as The Fast and the Furious are the problem, Vanishing Point is the answer.
08/14/07
A film all but overflowing with the revolting spirit of the oppressed. Bring the noise!
10/10/07
A fairly entertaining chase flick, with a few artistic touches included to keep the thinking viewers happy.
