Every now and then a movie creeps up on you and takes you by surprise.

Highway, a straight-to-video production which has received little hype, is one of those movies.

Generation X-ers Jack (Leto), Pilot and Cassie find themselves hitting the highway for different reasons in what turns out to be the wildest road trip of their lives.

It’s a trip that confronts life, death, love and rock and roll head-on.

Some roads lead nowhere, but from Kurt Cobain to the ‘Crocodile Boy’, this is one highway that takes its passengers everywhere.

Good road movies are great to watch. Highway, perhaps, isn’t one of the best of all time but it certainly has its moments.

It’s entertaining, slick, clever, and fuelled by a pumping soundtrack

There are a few speed bumps and potholes, but overall it’s an enjoyable journey

If you’re into road movies, don't bypass this Highway.
