The Sugarland Express (1974)

A woman attempts to reunite her family by helping her husband escape prison and together kidnapping their son, but things don't go as planned when they are forced to take a police hostage on the road.
All in all an otherwise acceptable tragicomedy made with skill in most departments, but made nearly unbearable by the screeching female lead.

Halliwell *: "Mainly comic adventures with a bitter aftertaste, very stylishly handled."

Maltin ***1/2: "Perfect entertainment..."
