Entertainment Reviews:
[S]omething of a lost masterpiece.
Uncut
Rating: 3/5 --
The set pieces are beautifully handled, grizzled veteran Ben Johnson is watchable as the head cop on their tail, and, looking back, it's clear that Spielberg already held all the aces and knew how to deal them.

Radio Times
A brilliant film from the young Steven Spielberg who was just beginning his career. [Full Review in Spanish]

El Pais (Spain)
Unfortunately, the film degenerates in final reels to heavy-handed social polemic and sound-and-fury shootout.

Rating: 4/5 --
With this role, Hawn further proves she was an actress of some talent and not just an attractive woman to be taken lightly.

The movie has a casual craziness that seems especially native.

Product Description:
Shot in 1974, THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS was made by Steven Spielberg just one year before he rose to international fame with JAWS. Following in the footsteps of Terrence Malick's 1973 tale of lovers on the run, BADLANDS, Spielberg's film centers on the exploits of Lou Jean (Goldie Hawn) and Clovis Poplin (William Atherton). After Clovis escapes from prison, the two head off in pursuit of their child, whom they have been forced to give up to an adoption agency. Mayhem breaks out at they take a state trooper hostage along the way, with Spielberg neatly guiding the movie to a turbulent, yet satisfying conclusion. Only 28 years old at the time of shooting, Spielberg had directed plenty of TV movies prior to THE SUGARLAND EXPRESS, but this was the feature film that kick-started his glittering career.
