Sugarland Express "received good reviews, but critical failure at the box office. Fortunately, Spielberg had proved his talent as a director with this film and the TV movie" Duel ". Both have earned the opportunity to direct" Jaws "and the rest as they say, is history. Based on a true story, Lou Jean Poplin (Goldie Hawn) convinces her husband Clovis (William Atherton "Ghostbusters" and "Die Hard") of a minimum-security prison, even thought it has only one couple of months to go. Your child is taken and placed in foster care. Lou Jean not for this, and suggests that kidnap his son. In the process, until the order to take a couple of police officer in Texas ( Michael Sacks "Slaughter House Five") as hostages and are pursued by the sheriffs of Texas, led by Captain Tanner (Ben Johnson) throughout the state.
Steven Spielberg's first film to provide proof of his talent and skill as a director. Although he later accused of creating the box office mania that "dumbed down" Summer at the cinema "movie event", Spielberg did not create the kind of popcorn movie. Like Hitchcock, Spielberg has a wide range of films, and this is his second, was his most ambitious early films in terms of scope, and technical issues. Based on history, Spielberg invented by Hal Barwood with writers and Matthew Robbins ("long journey Bingo All-Stars & Motor Kings", "Dragon Slayer"), the true history of provocative, often funny and powerful road movie.
The solid performance and a well written script gave Spielberg a springboard for diving into a pool of ambitious film techniques. Make no mistake, however, this film is not just about technology and it is his saving grace. Otherwise, it could degenerate into a single film of the operation. John Williams score increases blood throughout the script. Although Spielberg swimped senior incredible game and ideas for photos of his favorite movies here (as he did in "Duel"), he endorsed, taking care to integrate them into the story and add their own little quirks special for them as well.
"Sugarland Express" is long overdue release on DVD. Unfortunately, in contrast to the "Duel", this DVD transfer is not looking so strong. The colors seem a bit 'faded, and the print is marred by many errors analog. It could just be a good negative, but more than likely that these are objects that not only confirmed the transfer phase. The sound is decent, although, again, much more could be done to improve the score of Williams and sound effects that revolve around the action in many sequences.
