I owned a Dodge Challenger of that era and that is the only reason I watched "Vanishing Point". The car is the star of this very weak movie.
Why the great urgency to deliver the car? Who would knowingly hire a drug-dependent driver to deliver cars from one locale to another? Kowalski is determined to win a bet based on a small drug deal. Forget the condition the car might arrive in - if it arrives at all, which it doesn't.
The premise of the story is preposterous and silly.
The script, the characterizations, the dialog are all lame. The direction is one step above amateur.
The driving and camera work are good but that's about it.
Newman has looks and charm but the character he plays is almost a cartoon.
The continuity errors are numerous - ie: the car suffers apparent damage that disappears in subsequent scenes.
Save your time or watch it with the sound off. At the very least, spare yourself the director's wacky running commentary - which only proves that drugs really do damage your mind.
score 3/10
