...it is released in February of this year, and it is already on cable. Such is the case with the mess called Highwaymen (with Jesus Christ wannabe Jim Caviezel himself). I've already listed this on the top 5 worst movies of the year... and this should serve as evidence. Imagine my surprise when surfing through the channels late last night I came across this treasure on TNT. I have NEVER known a movie to go from the theatre to cable that fast. Of course, when you gross less than $500,000 in the theatres before it's pulled, nothing should be shocking.

Do yourselves a favor, folks. Spare me the need of having to relive this crapfest in order to provide you with a decent review, and avoid this AT ALL COSTS!

ragesRemorse

When Steven Seagal stars, or a rapper... or both !
(and its happened before.. ugh)

Dario Argento
You took my line mad

Primitive Screwhead
Good point... but at least DD took awhile to get to cable. And I think I've only seen it on the premium channels so far. I mean, cripes... Hihgwaymen went straight to the basic channels.

Cinemaddiction
Not necessarily. "Pitch Black" and "Knockaround Guys" both are very underrated, and usually go unnoticed due to the prejudice of those en vogue Diesel haters.

Neo_Version 7
Yeah, I agree.

Knockaround Guys was awesome.

dude highway men came out in 2003

a man apart was a bad ass movie aswell.

MC Mike
That movie was a masterpiece. shock

ragesRemorse
I wouldnt go anywhere near saying it is a masterpiece. It was a cool little movie with some decent writing, but in all actuality isnt anything special. It really isnt about anything eigther. I think it is so popular because alot of teens relate to donnie, and his feelings and views on the world.

Release date: 13-Feb-2004

RottenTomatoes.com also shows its gross amounts for the two weeks it actually stayed in the theatres. And I'm almost 99.9% positive it was this year that I was one of the few morons who actually went to see it... not last year.

And here's that other link:

I can't imagine Donnie Darko had numbers THIS low in its first two weeks.

ragesRemorse
oh yeah you are right it was 2004 for highwaymen. I was thinking of the low budget flick highway man.

I remember donnie darko doing really bad at the box office, but i think a large reason for this was lack of advertisments. It diddnt have strong advertising.
