Vanishing Point (1996)
Speed Limit...Floorboard
Viggo Mortensen stars as Jimmy Kowalski, a Desert Storm veteran with racing in his blood, dark secrets in his past, a pregnant wife at home, and a vintage 1970 Dodge Hemi Challenger to deliver. But when his wife is suddenly hospitalized, a desperate Kowalski speeds cross-country with police from four state, a vengeful trooper (Steve Railsback of HELTER SKELTER and ED GEIN), and the FBI in hot pursuit. Now with the help of an outspoken radio DK (Jason Priestly) the man a nation hails as 'the last American hero' and the Fed label a 'possible terrorist' rockets towards a final roadblock where the speed limit is the floorboard, and life, death and freedom all come together at the VANISHING POINT.
Christine Elise (ER), Keith David (Armageddon) and Peta Wilson (La Femme Nikita) co-star in this explosive Fox-TV remake of the legendary cult classic that fans call 'the ultimate car chase movie!'

ok so my wife likes viggo. but this movie doesn't fit into what our life is like today. it was dated very dated. lots of our morals and attitudes toward authority have changed and we never get any feeling for the characters in the movie. but at least it paid viggo. he then could still eat untill his time was paid and he could actually be in a few good movies later.Vanishing Point 1996 - Zeden05
This is a terrible movie. I rented it because of another members rating of 4 out of five. It does not even come close to the first movie. It was like watching a train wreck. You couldn't stop watching it because you wondered just how bad it could get. I gave it a 1 only because you couldn't rate it any lower.Surprisingly good - Boromir
I'm not sure why I put this movie on my list, but it was actually very well put together in terms of the acting and direction. There are somethings that stretch the movie, like the right people showing up at the right time and place just as he needs them, but beyond that it worth a watch.
