Highwaymen

Highwaymen is a revenge thriller built around a man hunting the driver who killed his wife. James "Rennie" Cray survives the hit-and-run that takes her life and spends years trying to find the culprit, a serial killer named Fargo who uses a 1972 Cadillac Eldorado to run down young women on the road. Released from prison, Cray crosses the country in pursuit of the car, joined by Molly Poole, a woman who survived an encounter with Fargo, and helped by a traffic officer. Fargo has modified the Eldorado into a weapon, and the chase becomes a test of whether Cray can anticipate how the killer thinks.

Robert Harmon directed the film, working from a screenplay by Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell. It followed They (2002) in his filmography and came before Stone Cold (2005). Jim Caviezel plays Cray, with Rhona Mitra as Molly, Colm Feore as Fargo, Frankie Faison as Will Macklin, Gordon Currie as Ray Boone and Andrea Roth as Alexandra Farrow. The film runs 80 minutes and was produced by Millennium Media, New Line Cinema and Cornice Entertainment.

Highwaymen was released on 13 February 2004. On TMDB it holds a rating of 5.7 out of 10 from 238 votes, a modest audience response. The premise places it in the tradition of the road-bound pursuit film, a form Harmon had worked in before with The Hitcher.
