 | | 8. Vanishing Point | | | Starring: Barry Newman Director: Richard C. Sarafian | | Format: DVD Release Date: 2/6/2007 |  | Vanishing Point - DVD Review By: Jason Morgan - filmcritic.com DVD Reviews Published on: 2/13/2009 5:25 PM | |
Crashing through American culture, the cinematic super-charged, white-lightning Vanishing Point presses ever onward -- solidifying its legacy as one of the greatest car chase movies to ever be capture on celluloid. While hell-on-wheels anti-hero barrels through police blockades, the film takes a more subtle approach when spinning its social commentary on early-'70s America. Fast cars, cliche cops, and naked chicks veil Vanishing Point's attack on American censorship, conformity, and racism -- cruising toward the moment when American liberties disappear into the horizon. Kowalski (Barry Newman) is a pill-popping speed-freak who runs cars from Colorado to California for a delivery service. read the full review | |

The film remains, next to Field of Dreams, one of the world's oddest baseball movies. Roy Hobbs (Redford) is a child wunderkind at the game. After playing some ball at a carnival, he's summarily shot in the chest by a femme fatale (Barbara Hershey), who is clearly working for agents that want him not to be the greatest player of all time, which Hobbs says he aims to be.
