I feel bad for Jim Caviezel. He's a good actor - in my opinion - who's always been on the verge of a breakout role. The Thin Red Line. Frequency. The Count of Monte Cristo. And then came The Passion of the Christ. I still haven't seen it so I really can't vouch for him, but this is where I begin to feel bad for the guy. No matter what he does from this moment on, he'll always be Jesus. Little old ladies will see a movie with him and remark "wasn't he the guy who played Jesus in that Mel Gibson movie?". So here we have another Jim Caviezel movie - Highwaymen. And how do they market it? With a big sticker on the front proclaiming "Starring Jim Caviezel from The Passion of the Christ!". See. It's starting already...

Highwaymen is the story of two men - obsessed with each other. Rennie (Caviezel) and the twisted fuck he's chasing (Colm Feore). Why is he chasing him? Rennie's wife was killed in a "hit and run" perpetrated by a man who randomly murders women using his souped-up 1972 Cadillac El Dorado. Actally, I wouldn't say souped-up. Maybe customized is the better word. This car could benefit from a spotlight on "Pimp My Ride" with Xzibit. So, Rennie chases the man and his car across the country. Or maybe it's better to say that he's led across the country by this man and his car. It's tough to say who's the cat and who's the mouse in this relationship.

The movie was pretty much rushed in and out of theaters, so it's no surprise that the DVD release offers nothing in terms of special features - only trailers for this and a few other New Line movies including The Butterfly Effect, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Caviezel's Frequency.

I didn't really mind this movie. It's not the greatest, but there are worse ways to spend your time. Although the story was a bit preposterous, it didn't require a lot of thought and was easy to get lost in. And as mentioned, I'm a bit of a Caviezel fan. Sure, he's done better but you can only do so much with the material you're given, right?
