Rated 5 out of 5 stars
One of the all time great car flicks
VANISHING POINT is a legendary cult film starring Barry Newman, Cleavon Little, Dean Jagger, and a 1970 Dodge Charger. Tasked with getting the car from Colorado to San Francisco in less than a day, Newman's character heads off on a wild ride with car chases, beautiful women and even an appearance by Delaney and Bonnie and Friends.Filled with social commentary, this is a must for fans of counterculture films of the early 1970's!
"Vanishing Point" takes us away from the 60s and drives us full throttle into the 70s. It's a cult classic filled with a layer of existentialism and mysticism that really elevates the film beyond other run of the mill car films. Barry Newman is just right in the role of Kowalski who seems to find a certain level of freedom as he drives and drives further away from 'the man'. Kowalski becomes a man who just goes for it and even goes out on his own terms. "Vanishing Point" is truly a beguiling and artsy pleasure.
