It's absolutely riveting.

fresh:
This exciting existentialist road movie by Monte Hellman, with a swell script by Rudolph Wurlitzer and Will Corry and my favorite Warren Oates performance, looks even better now than it did in 1971.

fresh:
The strange and sometimes pathetic world of barnstorming, hustling street-racing is explored with feeling by director-editor Monte Hellman.

Two-Lane Blacktop is a movie of achingly eloquent landscapes and absurdly inert characters.
