Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 3.5/4 --
In a time when vacant retreads such as The Fast and the Furious are the problem, Vanishing Point is the answer.
Rolling Stone
Rating: 1.5/5 --
A movie about which I can think of almost nothing good to say.

New York Times
The woodenness of both direction and Newman's performance becomes increasingly apparent.

Time Out
Takes full advantage of the subject's existential and mythical undertones without being pretentious, and you certainly get a run for your money, along with a lot of rock music.

Rating: 3/4 --
should be seen as a particularly charged variant of a now extinct genre: the artsy B-movie

Rating: 2.5/4 --
A fairly interesting, but somewhat muddled, road movie starring Newman as an ex-cop who now drives cars from Denver to San Francisco for a living.

TV Guide
The last quarter of Grindhouse was little more than a love note to this flick's towering excellence.

Product Description:
An ex-racecar driver gets high on Benzedrine and leads the police on a hectic chase.
Description by 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment:
Thrills, spills and a handful of pills. It all adds up to one of the most spectacular car chases in motion picture history! Barry Newman stars as Kowalski, the last American hero, who set out to prove that he can drive from Denver to San Francisco in just fifteen hours. Along the way, he meets an old prospector (Dean Jagger), a snake worshipper, a nude woman on a motorcycle, and a blind D.J. (Cleavon Little) who "sees" danger ahead in this super-charged, action-packed adventure!
