NOTE: I ONLY REVIEWED THIS ITEM FOR THE CONTENT RELATING TO KURT COBAIN'S MEMORIAL - THE PLOT/FLOW/QUALITY OF THE ACTUAL STORY ARE NOT ADDRESSED IN THIS REVIEW. THANK YOU. This is an entertaining movie, with a very fast plot line, but if you are buying it as a Nirvana/Kurt Cobain fan trying to get some kind of consolation from the memorial for Kurt Cobain... you won't get much. This is the main reason that I sought this dvd out and purchased it. They make it to Seattle at the very end of the movie, and although there are people all around participating in the memorial... the characters/plot etc, for lack of better words, "just run through it". Myself being a HUGE Kurt Cobain/Nirvana fan, would love to see a movie more devoted to the memorial.. of course, if it wasn't already filmed then, it wouldn't do much good to create it now... FOR THE SERIOUS NIRVANA COLLECTOR, this is a must-have just for the reference value. But for the die-hard fan reaching for "consolation", find another reason for purchasing this movie.. or else you'll only be selling it again soon.Read full review
I bought the movie "Highway" because, as I said in another review, I am a huge fan of Jared Leto. I love this movie. It's full of action, adventure, and is very upbeat with excellant music as well. I love how 2 friends from childhood stick together no matter what life brings them, and they remain close friends for life even after the worst of circumstances. It's about young inexperienced love, being on the run, and taking chances that otherwise would be totally unheard of. It's about seeing how far you can go, and how far you will actually get. Luck is a funny thing until it runs out when you least expect it, but in the end was so worth it. Although there are bad experiences in this movie for the characters, in all they have a blast, take life for granted at some points, but they pay the ultimate price. All in all, I give this movie an A+++. The movie is exciting, and full of a renegade attitude. The acting is awesome and the young Jared Leto is sexy as ever. His character has a no holds bar attitude and he pays for his mistakes in the end. There isn't anything I don't like about this movie. It's a great show.Read full review
I bought this film mainly because of Jake Gyllenhaal. As usual his character was worth buying the film. However I am not a fan of the music accompanying the film.
Verified purchase: Yes | Condition: Pre-owned
I bought the movie for my friend's birthday because she adores Jared Leto and this is one of the few movies she hasn't seen with him in it. The movie itself was great and the product was in fantastic condition; hasn't been opened. The only thing that bugged me was like it took almost a month to get here. I bought it two weeks before her birthday, thinking that it would come in time, and it came about a week in a half after. But, once it came in the mail, I imeditatly rang her, saying that I was coming over, and she needs to make some popcorn. She was incredably happy.
Funny, touching, adventure of two young men during the week of the death of Kurt Cobain as one (Jared Leto) runs from gangsters sent to punish him for a fling with the head gangster's flirty wife and the other (Jake Gyllenhaal) runs to find his high school crush. Along the way, they rescue a failed prostitute (Selma Blair)and cross paths with a perpetual hippy, an alligator boy and numerous other characters before the gangsters catch up to them in Seattle. Leto is hilarious as the cool, never-get-involved-romantically guy who falls hard for Blair's sweet prostitute with a heart of gold, and Gyllenhaal is entertaining as his character - constantly wreathed in a cloud of reefer smoke - finds and loses the girl he thought he wanted.
