Review of The Hitcher (1986) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 28 Feb 1987
On its own terms, this movie is diseased and corrupt. I would have admired it more if it had found the courage to acknowledge the real relationship it was portraying between Howell and Rutger, but no: It prefers to disguise itself as a violent thriller, and on that level it is reprehensible.
