The Hitcher (2007)

Babes with guns in skimpy frocks threatened by evil psychopaths in fast cars. Who wouldn’t be interested in this? I’m sure there are a few but I don’t number myself among them. So when Grace Andrews (Sophia Bush) awakens to find herself in bed with not her boyfriend, I’m paying attention. And knowing that she is in jeopardy so she scampers into the motel bathroom in her undies after poking John Ryder (Sean Bean) with a lighted lamp bulb—that’d smart—and prevents him from forcing open the door by grabbing the revolver from the edge of the sink, I’m thinking she is a lot stronger than she looks. Now being in a locked room in your skivvies isn’t a place most folks feel comfortable, despite having a gun. So with grim determination and not a lot of clothes, she pulls on her boots, steps into her tiny skirt and top and goes in search of her boyfriend who is overdue in returning from looking for a pay phone. I’m sure she’s not going to give an inch if threatened. And once in the motel parking lot when she finds Jim (Zachary Knighton) chained between a truck and a trailer, I’m not cheering for the killer, given the look in her eye.
