3/4
Thieves Highway centers on lawless men trying to take what isn’t theirs, with one man standing in their way. It’s a prime piece of action filmmaking. Go to Full Review

B
A good old-fashioned Western (cattle thieves, deputized citizens, slugfests) in a modern context. Eckhart anchors the film with a world-weary, classic sense of morality. Go to Full Review

2.5/5
Johnson and Mills do some fun maneuvering with their characters and Eckhart is a sturdy enough lead. But the storytelling takes too many shortcuts and the overall lack of suspense keeps us one step ahead. Go to Full Review

B-
Never delivers nail-biting moments, but most of the feature is functional, especially for those who enjoy this type of quickie entertainment. And there’s a touch of toughness to appreciate when the material eventually runs out of ideas. Go to Full Review

Anthony D @AnthonyDsilwa 2d Thieves Highway is a standout modern Western that reunites actor Aaron Eckhart with director Jesse V. Johnson, delivering a rock-solid action experience that exceeded my expectations. Johnson proves once again why he is one of the most under-appreciated storytellers of our time, masterfully capturing the soul of a classic Western within a contemporary setting. Aaron Eckhart is exceptional as the "Cow Cop," playing the role with a decisive realism that avoids caricature and grounds the film's tension. The supporting cast is stellar, ensuring there are no weak links in the narrative's progression as the story unfolds. Technically, the movie is sharp, featuring gritty action sequences and high-quality editing that keep the stakes feeling palpable throughout. Ultimately, it is a well-filmed, tightly-paced drama that succeeds thanks to Johnson’s expert direction and Eckhart’s powerful, grounded lead presence. See more Marc Z @TKDLife 3d Thieves Highway is a modern western about a topic I knew nothing about going into the film. However, the reunion of Chief of Station's Aaron Eckhart and Jesse V. Johnson gave me an indication that I the film would be solid in many respects. I was not disappointed. It is a solid action film in the Western genre. Johnson and Eckhart capture the finest elements of a classic Western in a modern setting. The acting is solid. Eckhart understands the task at hand and plays the role with strength and decisiveness. His modern "Cow Cop" is not a caricature and he plays the part with realism. The cast is stellar. There are no weak links in this one. Lucy Martin really stands out. Johnson's Directing is always solid, and this is no exception. He is a great storyteller and one of the most under appreciated Directors of our time. The action is gritty and the tension is palpable. The movie is well filmed and well edited. Winner.

When will they get paid? This isn’t the first time he lied to the crew and the all the producers let it slide. This is absurd. PAY YOUR CREW!
