Psychologically disturbing and surprisingly well filmed road movie that reminds us of the true meaning of such mindless motorcycle escapism. The riders forget about a meaning of life they can't digest and hit the road trying to find another one, while Dennis Hopper places this senseless macho rebels into a bizarre reality spiraling downwards. The genre surely does not get any better than this. Of course, the brief appearance of a mad Jack Nicholson was an element that couldn't be left out, the same element that makes the film culminate in a breathtaking, nearly unparalleled acid-trip climax. Oh, the times of junkies and individuals that belonged to that delirious sexual revolution, that and the counter-culture of the American dream...
97/100
