Editorial Review:
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 states, 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 DJ [Jason Priestley], the man a nation hails as ‘the last American hero’ and the Feds label a ‘possible terrorist’ rockets toward 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’!
Vanishing Point Reviews:
Wrong video 
2009-07-10 - I did not receive the correct video from The Used Book Hounds. This company will not exchange the incorrect product.
one star is still over rated
2009-01-05 - Watch a Disney movie instead, you will more than likely find that more sensible and exciting than this waste of film.
Good remake of a classic 
2008-12-22 - Good remake of classic car flick probably more a little more viewable to a larger general audience than the original but that doesn't mean its a better movie.
Film sticks to the basic original storyline but throws a few other elements into the flick eg. sick pregnant wife and FBI in the chase as well to add a little extra to the movie.
The car is awesome gotta love the 70 R/T Challenger with a 426ci Hemi
Drive Past It 
2008-11-27 - Not a very well done film. It might be worth a rental but please check out the original version of Vanishing Point. It blows the doors off this one.
Vanishing Point 
2008-07-19 - Awesome movie. A must see. Usually the remake sucks compared to the orginal. This time just the opposite. I loved the original, but the story was just a little better in the remake.
