Walter Mancini is a egostical newspaper editor whom is driving across
California with his spiteful wife, Eve, on a weekend getaway to save
their troubled marriage. But things take a turn when they pick up a
straded motorist, named Adam, whom takes them hostage revealing himself
to be a fugitive running from both the police and his two acomplices
after robbing a bank and making off with all the loot. But things are
not always as they seem as Walter and Eve try to find a way to not only
get rid of their unwanted car guest, but find a way to deal with each
other when both see the tempting offer of the stolen $2 million in cash
Adam always has on him.
No, they don't do movies like this anymore. A tough one about self-hatred, mayhem and self- destruction: Franco Nero as a down-&-out reporter, Corinne Clery as his sexy, completely hollow spouse, plus David Hess doing his usual good- humored-and-mean-as-hell thing.
"Autostop Rosso Sangue" is sleazy, sexist, ultra-violent, but not without some unforgettable moments: The naked Clery in front of a trailer holding a huge rifle in the middle of the night is like a hastily written, edgy but brilliant poem found in a tattered paperback left in a cheap motel. For a few short hours in his life, Pasquale Festa Campanile, creator of some of the worst Euro comedies ever, turned into a poète maudit of the most cynical kind.
This is the kind of grindhouse cinema nobody can embrace with seventies nostalgia: mature, brutal, knowing, never "cool", always cold, gripping and utterly nihilistic. Anything else you would ask for?

Franco Nero was excellent in this. I'm beginning to think he is probably one of the most under-rated foreign film-stars of all-time.
Thanks for sharing!!!
