“Thelma & Louise”

8.4

Ridley Scott – Director of “Alien,” “Blade Runner,” “Gladiator”… and “Thelma & Louise.” AND a Hans Zimmer score!

Now that I have my film geeking out of the way – holy crap was this a fun movie! For such dark subject matter, Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis make such loveable, fun characters and an approachable story that keeps you on the edge of your seat until the very end! The premise of the film is so simple, but the story milks so much adventure out of this road trip that it’s truly mind-blowing, yet completely believable. I never once questioned whether hitchhikers really look like Brad Pitt or the reality of these two becoming national criminals over the course of a long weekend and outrunning the FBI and multiple state law enforcement agencies.

Buck up, and enjoy the ride!
