“ROAD TO NOWHERE” My rating: C
121 minutes | MPAA rating: R
Movies about the making of movies have produced such delights as Francois Truffaut’s “Day for Night” and Richard Rush’s “The Stunt Man.”
Alas, Monte Hellman’s aptly titled “Road to Nowhere” is far from a delight.
This is the first film in 20 years for Hellman, a Roger Corman protege whose 1971 “Two Lane Blacktop” (James Taylor and the Beach Boys’ Dennis Wilson played rootless drag racers) flopped at the box office but subsequently became a cult landmark.
