Through a series of mechanical innovations, Fargo has turned his rampaging ’72 Cadillac Eldorado into a monstrous extension of his own twisted body and mind. Now, their deadly battle of wits and wills is about to move into overdrive. And caught in their headlights is a tormented beauty (Rhona Mitra) who unwittingly holds the key to their ultimate showdown. Directed by Robert Harmon, who set the bar for road thrillers with 1986’s The Hitcher, from a screenplay by Hans Bauer and Craig Mitchell.

 Lacking in character development, but excellent in entertainment value. Worth a look if you wanna see something different, but don't bother if you're looking for a deep story or a lot of scares. 7/10--FrighT MasteR (UHM)
With a smarter screenplay, a longer running time (only 72 minutes), more emphasis on its characters and more inclination on its emotional content, "Highwaymen" could’ve been a new “road rage” classic a la "Duel" or "The Hitcher"! Having said that, there’s no denying that it was still an exceptionally well shot and highly pleasurable bonanza of motor vehicle nastiness...  --'The Arrow' (Arrow)
