Vanishing Point
Date undefinedI rented Vanishing Point because I'm a car nut, and especially like the old muscle cars of the '60s and '70s like the 1970 Dodge Challenger that's driven in the film. The movie definately satisfies the car nut in me, with all of the chase scenes, but if you rent it just for that you're missing the whole point of the film. Vanishing Point is the story of an ex-cop, ex-Vietnam Vet named Kowalski. He's tasked with the job of delivering a 1970 Challenger from Denver to San Francisco. For fun, he makes a bet with his drug dealer that he can make the trip in only 15 hours. Along the way he is helped by a blind DJ named Super Soul who gives him advice over the radio for avoiding the cops. I found the movie to be very spiritual and symbolic. Kowalski seems like just a stoned-out, law breaking, speed freak, which he is, but the movie gives us a glimpse into how he became that way through a series of flashbacks into Kowalski's life. It seems like everytime Kowalski tried to do the right thing, it came back to haunt him. Along the way, he becomes sort of an anti-hero, fighting the establishment that has let him down. I won't give away the ending if you haven't seen the film, but I loved it. It's just the way this guy should have gone out! Get this movie! 4 Stars!
